Stormy Evening in the Golden Isles

Last night, we had rain. October was a dry month here. Rain is very welcomed. Plus rain clouds fascinates me. Here is the approaching storm. It was so beautiful especially from the top of the Jekyll Creek Bridge. I drive over this bridge all the time. I often want to stop. Last night was the evening I did. I park the van and walked to the top. Wow! look at this image. No wonder they named this the Golden Isles.

Images from the Georgia's Colonial Coast Birding & Nature Festival

As folks share their pictures with me I will share them with you.

Here are some from Steve Frazier. He was on two field trips Cumberland Island & Little St. Simons Island

Marshes in the morning show why we call this area the Golden Isles

Here is what Steve said about the marsh shot: "The marsh picture was taken in the morning around 8:20 AM from the dock to catch the boat to Little SSI – it is not touched up what so ever – those are the true colors."

About the butterflies:

" The White Peacock was taken just before noon on Cumberland Island, about halfway between the castle ruins and the path to the water."


"The Queen was taken on Little SSI around 2:00 PM in the flowers in front of the boat landing."

and here are a couple of Shorebirds

Thanks Steve for sharing.
