As winter is making a heavy appearance in the Northeast, we are content being tucked away beneath beautiful Georgia pines at one of The Peach State's gorgeous state parks. Laura S Walker State Park, near the Okefenokee Swamp's northern edge, offers over 600 acres to roam. Whether exploring the trails, sitting at the lake, or taking part in any of the activities available, we have found this to be yet another Georgia jewel. This is what we see directly across the highway each time we exit the park (daytime or lit up at night). We are truly in the swamp. It's time to set off to find where the nearest trail leads! We walked just a bit through this beautiful area before feasting our eyes on this boardwalk over the lake. Let's stop for a little rest then a little play before heading back to the other side to celebrate the find of the day in this super-duper pinecone! Back at home, the Clam offers an outdoor living space for fun and games. Another November ...
This popular tourist destination in Southern Georgia is one of the state's four barrier islands. As we visited the island, we set our sights on walks on stunning Driftwood Beach and the Horton House ruins. After lingering a while on a captivating beach, we drove to this historic site displaying the oldest tabby ruins in the state of Georgia. Horton House We investigated the alluring remains of the home before stepping onto the trail leading to Horton Pond. As I snapped this next shot of Cannon, he was pointing and informing us of the sight he was taking in. I can't say I immediately believed there was an alligator so close by. As I took a look, I saw this sunbathing "beauty" then his buddy here giving us a nice view of himself in the pond. With the water so clear, we were certainly treated to a natural and serene aquatic life view. Thanks for sitting a while to join us in our day on fabulous Jekyll Island😊
Once it was realized that the distance between Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park was a mere 27 miles, we grabbed those passports. What follows will explain why not including this park in our day was simply not an option. !Here we go! We absolutely must check out that visitor center first! Seeing this beauty in the distance would spur anyone to want to get closer. The Prince of Wales Hotel is a 121 foot/7 story building named a national historic site in 1992. It is a sight to behold. As we drove into the parking lot, we suddenly realized the treat we were in for. As if this structure was not enough, being in the midst of Upper Waterton Lakes provided a feast for the eyes. Red Rock Canyon was next on the list! This destination was amazing on its own, but what a surprise we got on the drive out! Let's first explore the canyon. Look at Cannon down there! Do you think he was relishing the moment? Oh yes!! Here is a shot of the drive out of ...
