Blue Sky for Sky Watch Friday at My Quality Time

Make sure to check out:: Sky Watch Friday

LITTLE BOY:: “WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?”

DAD::  “It has to do with molecules in the air scattering blue light more than red, diffusing blue photons from the Sun so they appear to come from all over the sky, and not just from the Sun. Plus, the Sun doesn’t emit nearly as many purple photons as blue ones, and our eyes aren’t very sensitive to purple light, so overall the sky winds up looking blue.”

Little Boy: “ All this time I thought it was because of quantum effects involving Rayleigh scattering combined with a lack of violet photon receptors in our retinae.’”

MORAL OF STORY:: I’m not really sure but I hope you have a great day. I’ll be gone for a few days. Wife and I are going to do a little camping/fishing..

  All packed and heading out the door.. I promise some interesting posts/photos when we get back. I really appreciate you stopping by my blog/post and comments are always appreciated.

 Sky Watch Friday AT

The Driftwood Beach of Jekyll Island Georgia

Just down the road from our camp at the Jekyll Island Campground we found an amazing spot. Today we will take a “Quality Time” stroll along The Driftwood Beach of Jekyll Island. There are some neat sky photos so will link to Sky Watch Friday

Another beautiful morning on Jekyll Island and Linda has had her coffee. It is time to get off the bench and get a little exercise.Time to explore the Golden Isles of Georgia 

“Located on the north end of Jekyll Island, Driftwood beach will amaze you with the beautiful driftwood and trees that resemble a tree graveyard.” LINK

The north end of the island is slowly eroding away and being deposited on the south end of the island.

Linda and I have been to many beaches, but none similar to this. The best time to explore the beach is  at low tide, better to see the beach and all the shells and wildlife that go with it.

If you want a beautiful view without a crowd, this is the place to go.

Why don’t oysters give to charity?… Because they’re shellfish……. Where do shellfish go to borrow money?… The prawn broker……

A quiet, pristine beach.

Jekyll Island is a "one of a kind" place that is very unspoiled by neon signs and overpopulation.

From the beach you can see St. Simon's Island and the St. Simon Lighthouse.

What did the beach say to the wave?… “Long tide, no sea.”

This is a great beach to just “hang out.”

Look close.. How many people do you see in the photo? I would think the hammock would be more comfortable.

Some people get married on Driftwood Beach and some don’t though a lot of weddings do occur on Jekyll Island.

 

If you visit at dusk on a cloudy day as we did later in the week….it's like walking in a black and white film. Very cool…..

Meanwhile back at the bench

no time to sit because there is just tooooo much to explore .. Stay tuned for more posts about Jekyll Island and the Golden Isles

“Cool Person” at the beach says, “Thanks for stopping by My Quality Time.”  You might enjoy a visit to The Georgia Sea Turtle Center..CLICK

ONE MORE::: A man was on a beach when he discovered an old lamp in the sand. He rubbed it and a genie popped out. The genie said "I will grant you three wishes. The only condition is that you cannot wish for more wishes." "Alright," said the man, "I wish for more genies."

Sundog at Great Dunes Beach …. Jekyll Island Georgia

A sundog at Great dunes Beach Jekyll Island Georgia.

Sundogs can be blindingly bright, at other times they are a mere colored smudge on the sky. If you are interested in the science of Sundogs READ MORE

1. Red skies at night, sailors delight.
2. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning.

Several tales of the appearance of sundogs have existed in popular culture. Some say a sundog brings good luck when spotted on a long journey, others say it will bring a radical change in weather conditions, such as rain.

A birds eye view of the sky.

Sometimes you can’t see the sky if you are under a Georgia oak. LOL..

Thanks for stopping by. Linda and I hope you have a “Sundog” day…

Take the time to visit SKYWATCH FRIDAY

It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are... than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise. 
Henry David Thoreau

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.  Edward Abbey

You have to accept the storms and the rainy days and the things in life that you sometimes don't want to face. Bai Ling

It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog. Joseph Conrad
