St. Simons Island

Yesterday we visited St. Simons Island, Georgia. For anyone who has ever read "New Moon Rising" by Eugenia Price, the visit is a must. On the northern part of the island we found ourselves in a grove of live oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Rhodedendrons of various shades of rose and white and lilac blanketed the area under the canopy spread by the tall oaks. Following the sound of a lone bagpipe player we found our way through the Wesley Memorial Garden to a large celtic cross. The sight was breathtaking, mystical, tranquil....a natural sanctuary bathed in the rays of sunset.
