Little Islands of Yankeetown - special places


I took a paddle in to some of  the special places I love to document them while they still exist.
As you can see below the gulf coast in this area is dotted with smal vegetated islands.
It creates a strange and unique habitat that will someday  be wiped away by sea level rise


Had a great but exhausting paddle.  I kept telling myself one more island -  then the wind started to whip up.


from one Island to  the next


to the next


losing track of time


little jewels of the earth


a gift


to appreciate


taking time to observe


taking time to enjoy


there are too many good pictures to choose


here are a few


you get the picture


enjoy them while they are still with us  - unitl sea level rise or a hurricane takes these little jewels away
