Sally at the shore

 
Sally loved the trip to St Mark's to see the Gulf.
 
 

She went right in, but then decided the salt water wasn't that great.



Terry took her out on the rocks.


She seemed to enjoy the view.



 We all had a good day.

 
We saw a Brown Pelican.


A whole flock of Coot


Closer look at Coot with yellow bills

Providence Canyon



Providence Canyon State Park near Lumpkin, Ga




A short hike of about 1/4 mi. takes you to the bottom of the canyon. Not much of a river. The canyon was formed by run off water which eroded the hillsides after farmers had cleared and ploughed the land in about 1820.

The sand and red clay of GA was washed away over a short period of only about 150 years.






Erosion can do all this.



Wild pink Azaleas
