Every time we walk through Savannah, we are struck by the beauty of this old city - from the majestic live oaks to the gorgeous buildings, the secret gardens, wide front porches, the Savannah River and the harbor.
If you look closely at the live oak in the picture below, you can see the
resurrection ferns growing on the branches. The ferns have loved all the rain lately and are lush and green!
This weathered old building is
The Pirates' House where Robert Louis Stevenson is said to have written
Treasure Island. It has been an inn and tavern since 1753.
A fisherman in front of two pilot boats by the harbor.
A view of the old buildings of River Street and City Hall from Hutchinson Island.
It sure has been fun showing my dear friend around our area. Aside from playing tourist, it's great to see your life through someone
else's eyes, especially someone who has known me my whole life. Well, today it rained pretty much all day, so we decided to stay in and make some art, which was so much fun! My piece is almost done and I'll post it tomorrow, so make sure to check back in!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love the name 'Savannah'!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to go there...what a lovely place.
ReplyDeleteHallo Silke! How lucky you are to live in such a beautiful place! I've always wanted to visit Savannah, but haven't been there, yet! It looks a bit like Charleston, South Carolina, which I was lucky enough to visit many years ago. I love the South!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are having such a nice visit with your dear friend.
Alles, alles Gute!
Bis bald,
Angela
