Spring has arrived on Tybee Island

Spring is here on Tybee Island.....

March 17th is the "official" beginning of spring for Tybee and Savannah. It is the Savannah St. Patty's day parade and the spring break for many Colleges and High Schools in the area. The island also comes alive with lots of beautiful flowers - so, I drove and walked around Tybee taking photos of some of the beautiful flowers... The pansy was blooming on my front porch - a winter flower for Tybee. this past weekend was the native plant sale and so many folks have been working in their gardens raking leaves (the live oaks drop their leaves in the spring) and planting new flowers. So, enjoy the photos.........

Signs on Tybee Island

On my afternoon tour of Tybee Island I wandered the back streets of our little island and found some cool signs and individual touches to some of the cottages on Tybee. I have always loved the hand carved dolphins above the door on Butler and "Tybee Daze" .... what more can you say.....

Tybee Island "fun" homes

Tybee Island has such fun homes on our little island. In many parts of the USA we would stop and stare at the colors of the homes. We have everything from the orginal white Tybee Cottages to bright orange, blue, yellow, green. I have attached a few of the bright cottages - some are for sale, some are for rent, some are just someone wonderful beach cottage. So, enjoy the photos ... not great photography - but I sure had fun on this sunny day on Tybee driving around looking at our wonderful little cottages. Hope you enjoy too
