up close: cockspur island

when we got to the boat

we discovered:

not enough gas for "the ride" (through the creeks to

little tybee island)

we took a short ride

from walsh's dock

on lazaretto creek (no shrimp boats)

cockspur island lighthouse

(my favorite tybee lighthouse)

technically

"cockspur beacon"

instead of

circling around as usual,

going

"ooh"

"aah,"

"so pretty"

we pulled right up

i stood on the bow

of the 10 year old boat,

tossed anchor

to oyster shell

on the

tiny

georgia

island

and got off to explore

for a minute the blue and white
reminded me

of greece

i found a critter

tucked in a shell

and explored

his

wet

world

rachel carson-like

then

headed to the lighthouse

with its whitewashed

ancient

brick

we climbed the

old

stone

steps

to the top

no small task for someone afraid of heights

(me)

earlier

lightning had

sliced

the tybee skies;

left

salty

summer

breeze

in its wake

we headed to the bridge

at

Fort Pulaski

to watch the sunset

Wednesday's Corner View: Music

The theme of today's corner view is music, so what better way to celebrate Miley Cyrus making a movie in Savannah and on Tybee Island this summer, than to share her music with you on this blog? There are times when it feels good to say, "out with the old, in with the new." The Georgia songs we've enjoyed are taking vacation, and the music player has been revamped to feature 70 plus songs by Miley Cyrus. Thanks, Miley! Your voice is amazing!

I might add that two of my personal favorites are numbers 70 and 71 (you'll have to scroll to the bottom of the page to find them in the player - sorry!). Why do I love these songs in particular?

These are songs recorded by Miley with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Listen to the words. For many of us, this is a summer to say good bye to our kids - for a day, a week, a month - or to nieces, nephews, or neighborhood kids who are growing up and going on adventures without us. The songs make me think of my own dad. How about you?

it's a good day to

stop

and hear

the

music
