Memorial Day…..the beginning of summer and the memory of those who gave their lives to keep our freedom.
There’s no place like an island on a holiday.
Crowds gather at the pier.
Shops have sales and open their doors earlier, staying open a bit later than normal, while restaurants have live music to entertain both guests ad passersby.
Shrimp boats lazily make their way through the sound.
A gazebo awaits, offering shade from the warm, early summer sun.
Neptune Park is full of people celebrating, barbecuing and playing on the swings.
Seats are in place, ready for the playing of taps later as the sun sets on a beautiful day.
I gaze above and see a cloud formation that looks to be half a heart……an omen of a beautiful day?
St. Simons Island…..welcome to summer, island time and the good life!
