Biking Along the South Island Bike Path on Jekyll Island

Another drive to the Jekyll
Island Convention Center
parking lot to start our ride.

A hotel is under construction.

The official start of the
South Island Bike Path.

The bike path parallels

 the road.

The Sidney Lanier Bridge is
seen through beach grass.

Jekyll Island Club Hotel adopted

 Saint Andrews Beach.

Where the boardwalk

ends...

 That's some beach!

A dead Jellyfish

It's the first one I've seen

& I had to share.

Eric, my male model, sits
on the roots of a dead tree.

American Oystercatchers feed

 at low tide & we just happen to

 be at Saint Andrews Beach at

the right time to watch them.

One of the many streams that empties out at the coast.

The bike path takes us
into a wooded area.

We cross bridges above

streams. 

Looking for wildlife
in the marsh.

A grassy field

This pic of the ghostly

Great Egret was taken

at maximum lens length.

I feel a poem coming on...

Trees  

I think that I shall never see

A poem as lovely as a tree.

A tree who's loving mouth is prest,

Against the earth's sweet loving breast;

A tree looks at God all day,

And lifts it's leafy arms to pray;

A tree that in summer may wear

A nest of robins in her hair

Upon whose snowy bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with the rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

 Joyce Kilmer, published in 1914

Eric points to where we
are on the South Island
Bike Path.

We're almost done with
today's ride.







After we returned to Coastal Georgia RV Resort, Eric mapped our ride. We biked about eight miles today.  Between the North and South Bike Loops on Jekyll Island, we've biked  about 19.5 miles within a week.  

Eric and I have sore backsides.  We are shopping online for padded bike underwear.
