Morning Walks

Yeah, yeah, I know it's a resort and it's supposed to be pretty. Heck they charge enough, but I just couldn't help but snap some shots on my morning walks around this Sawgrass Resort in Ponte Vedra Beach. It is a magnificent setting with great oak trees, Spanish moss, lovely waterways, nice grounds, pretty birds, alligators. Of course there are alligators and I saw a couple... nothing new... where there is water many times there are 'gators.


The wife of one of my husband's friends came along on the trip and she & I ran into each other on morning. From then on we took our early morning walks together and had breakfast at a cute little cafe (Elizabeth's Cafe) near the hotel. I'm not too big on hotel dining and this was a cute little breakfast ~ lunch place frequented by regulars and visitors alike.




It turned out that Velma loves the beach too, so she & I would go for a couple of hours each day. We'd sit in the surf, walk, read, chat and just enjoy looking out at the Atlantic Ocean. It's not often that I get to spend time at the beach. Neither of our husbands particularly like the ocean so it was nice that she & I met up.



So far this place has been my favorite golfing destination. I enjoyed the golf, but most of all I enjoyed the surrounding area. There was great food, surf, birds, and sun. Thirty years ago it would have been sex, drugs and rock & roll (well not really); now it's nature, serenity, companionship... the good things in life... priceless.
