For most of the week, the wind has been blowing along, or in from the water (all the big storms thankfully passed by us each time, but we have had some wind). As a result, we've not been taking a whole lot of photo's. I learned years ago while working in a camera store, just how quick and nasty ocean air can ruin a camera. Even if you don't feel the pray, it is there! I've had to clean my glasses at least twice a day, just so I wasn't looking through a 'fog'. Imagine caking that on a camera - over a week!

Anyway, the other day, the wind let up just enough that we did sit on our balcony and take shots of seagulls, pellicans and these little guys (see posted photo, right). While sifting through the photo's, I laughed as this one looked a lot like the 'King Kong' of birds, preparing to pluck a bicyclist from the beach! I may have to send it to the tabloids, but will wait until all the royal wedding hooplah dies down *wink*...
We also saw dolphins (it was high tide, so they were only about 500 feet away from our balcony). That was a first for both Elizabeth and I. Oh, sure we've seen them in marine shows, but never in their natural habitat - and SO CLOSE!
Tomorrow we go to Savannah to see where 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' took place. The house has been found and 'marked' in our GPS, as have a few other Savannah sights. We hope to get a bunch of nice shots of the gardens and architecture while there.
Ok, that's enough for today...I think I'll go get wet...
Until next time...
