Friday Foto: GA/FLA edition


Yep, it's Georgia/Florida weekend and that means our Island is overgrown. I like it. I it's like summer is here, but for only weekend. I enjoy all the commotion once in awhile and GA/FLA weekend is perfect for that. It's just long enough for me to get my fix of hanging with all my friends from out of town and going out and partying, before I go back to my peaceful little hectic life here on St. Simons. I know some people can't understand that, but that's what makes me, me.

Today's picture is an attempt to bring that peaceful serenity of St. Simons Island out just a little. You ever have those moments in the middle of a stressful day or week that you really feel like you are about to loose it? I did on Tuesday; I almost dropped the ball. When I left work I went out to the beach and watched the sunset (did he bring his camera you ask?... of course!). I had a little Ben time. It's sunlight for Superman, it rejuvenates my soul. We all need a little personal time. So, this shot is derived from that. I hope you like it.

Our good ole friend Goat is leaving us today. I guess though, for all you who read and don't live here, that doesn't effect you. She's moving to Miami (welcome to Miami...). I'll miss her, as I know we all will. She's the kind of person that you can't help but love, laugh at and get mad with all at the same time. To sum her up in one poetic line from the Barenaked Ladies, "(She has) a history of taking off her shirt." We'll miss you Goat.
