Happy #BlueSkyMonday. Looking back at some pics from May, 2018 in the Big Sur area. Wildflowers went berserk after being heavily fertilized by ashes from the previous summerโ€™s wildfires (or so I was told).

Happy #Stunday morning to all from a 6 way branch intersection, like an asterisk, deep in the woods of Ossabaw Island, GA., way off the beaten track

Coastal Georgia stands out as a hotbed of gnarly #wood outcroppings. A most eccentric place indeed

#wood is my thing! I might make a nuisance of myself here today on #BlueSkyArtShow. As often, right out the back yard at the marsh, Skidaway Island, GA

OK. Mountains. Although the lake itself was in a relatively flatter area with rolling hills

The name of the lake is Rock ISLE Lakeโ€ฆโ€ฆ so I guess weโ€™re both wrong.

You are correct sir! I had to double check that as we took the gondola up from the entrance of the ski resort in Alberta, but the lake is indeed across the border in BC.

Fortunately (for me ay least) what looks like a snake is actually an imbedded vine.

Thanks a lot Chris! Lots of hidden gems in Coastal Georgia. Cumberland Island is my personal favorite. I try to get out to Ossabaw every year as well

The skies got silly over the causeway from Savannah to Skidaway Island, GA on a recent morning. I made a stop at the fishing bridge to document it. #clouds #BlueSkyArtShow

Love that place! Fortunately I live close enough (Savannah) to go for day trips if not multiday camping
