Tybee Island - A refreshing weekend getaway

I jumped in the car yesterday afternoon, pulled up the GPS, set my targets on the Ocean and was Savannah-bound within seconds.

I continued through Savannah and onto Tybee Island, arriving after dark. With the sky dark with clouds, it was impossible to see anything at the beach, so all I could do was listen...

I sat at the beach in the dark, taking in what I could - the smell and taste of the air, the cool sand on my feet and sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. I "saw" the beach in a whole new and very memorable way.

I was excited and overwhelmed with the beautiful site of the beach this morning and spent my morning coffee on the sand. I swam for a while, collected seashells and snapped a few pics.

In one of the pictures (shown here), the water looked black under the overcast sky. Although the sky was swallowed up by the clouds, the sun managed to peak through, right there where I was sitting, lighting up the water right in front of me.

It seems everywhere I turn, Mother Nature is pointing out to me that there is an important balance between dark and light. :)

Enjoy!
