It was a good day to sit in the sun by the Pier and catch up on some reading. For those who disapprove of me sitting in the sun without sunscreen or a hat – and I am not saying your name has to be Sharmila necessarily – I might want to point out that the book I am reading is titled “Courage to be Disliked” !! (for real)

Reputed to be the longest spanning bridge in Georgia. The aerial distance is about three and a half miles. Taken with iPhone 11.

I am no golfer. One life has been enough for me to strive for the green and end up in a hole without having to have golf double it up 🙂 That said, as my friends went out on their carts to get the whack-a-white-ball therapy, I strolled around in the beautifully manicured greens. There were lots of beautiful flowers and interesting birds.

This bird brought back memories from the previous house where I would sit in the porch with my DSLR and wait for the cardinals to come in pairs and try to take a good picture before they would spot me moving.

This was taken with my iPhone 11 from about 15 yards away (and then magnified).

It is a cute island. Reminded me of Hilton Head a lot – only less people. The beaches were not as expansive as Hilton Head. But a lot of interesting birds and flowers abound in this island.

I had arrived at St. Simon’s a few hours before rest of my friends. Drove straight to the beach, grabbed a gin and tonic at a waterside bar and enjoyed the sun, the beach and The Economist. The beach itself was fairly empty.
