Mom and Dad came down to visit this past weekend. We did all kinds of things while they were here. We went to church Sunday morning then we went to Mudcat Charlie's on Hwy 17 for lunch with friends. It was a nice afternoon.
That evening we took them to St. Simons Island to see the lighthouse, pier and Atlantic Ocean. It was perfect weather for that. The wind was nice enough to keep the bugs away and to keep things from getting too hot. There was a lot of great scenery.
Monday we went to Taylor Farms and picked blueberries.
The bushes were huge! 
They hadn't quite ripened enough for bulk picking yet so we got the first picking on the bushes. It was hot but passing clouds and the shade from the bushes kept us pretty cool.
It was a wonderful day.
Joey showed Dad the pecan trees while we were there.
The nuts are already growing just as little tiny buds on the trees. 
Looks like there will be a good pecan harvest this fall!
I was also able to get some cool photos of some flowers during our travels. I like getting close-ups of them.
On Tuesday we spent most of the day at Jekyll Island. It is an island with beautiful, nearly pristine beaches. Here are some photos of the beach. In the third photo, the land you can see in the background is one side of Cumberland Island, the next island down the coast.

you 've got really great photos here!
Thanks, babisabl. I love to take photographs but consider myself barely an amature. The scenery in this area really makes taking good photo pretty easy!
I agree, but you must have the talent to do it well..and you seem to have it.. where is this island located? It seems perfect place to relax..
Thanks for the kind words. I have been wanting to attend a photography class so I can really learn how to use my camera but I haven't been able to schedule one yet.
St. Simons and Jekyll Islands are located on the southeast coast of Georgia, USA. The beach photos from the previous posts were taken at beaches in Florida--on both the west and east coasts of Florida.
