- Driving to south Georgia and north Florida for the weekend through farm country lined with miles and miles of cotton fields. 
- The people down there take their football very seriously. A Florida State University fan on the way to the game.
- A breathtakingly beautiful place for a wedding, historic Pebble Hill Plantation; a place of quiet beauty. The ceremony took place beneath this Live Oak tree dripping with Spanish moss. A lovely day.

Hi Lynn,
I love that big tree - so awesome to look at, and creates so much for the Plantation...
Lance -
That is an awesome place. We took a tour of the house several years ago - it was shown on "America's Castles" at some point after that.
Beautiful! and I'm very jealous of that warm weather!
I've never seen cotton in it's natural state so I love that photo!
The football fans sound a lot like Canadian hockey fans - a wee bit rabid! lol~
That tree is stunning and a totally romantic spot for a wedding.

It was in the 90s on Saturday. I can't say that we were thrilled to have such a hot day, but it was a wonderful weekend and wedding day.
Talon -
I'm not typically down there this time of year, so it was neat to see so much of it. It was beautiful.
Yes - the DJ kept announcing the scores of the U of Alabama game and the Florida State game during the reception. Great cheers or boos would go up.
I wish I'd gotten to the plantation a little earlier for more photos - a favorite were the signs that said, "Slow Down, I Mean It!"
Wow, they got married there? Looks amazing. I enjoyed watching the slide show at the top of their site.
I don't remember if I saw that America's Castles episode,I loved that show tho. Just swept away an hour at a time to amazing places, what fun.
Seeing that cotton reminds me of my favorite poem by Canadian Robert Service, "The Cremation Of Sam McGee," which is a hoot of a poem actually. Do you know it?

That tree is so pretty. What a lovely place for the ceremony!
Jannie -
Yes - a gorgeous place for a wedding. The dinner and reception dancing was fun, too. Those kids have lots of energy.
That poem is a hoot - I hope I don't dream about it. :)
Blue Bunny -
I'm thinking it would taste bad. Anything gray would taste bad, you think?
Mama Zen -
The Live Oaks are all around there - so pretty.
Interesting photo of the cotton fields.
I'm so jealous of the hot weather!! We normally get away to a sunnier climate at ths time of the year for our last dose of sunshine, but we won't be able to because of work commitments.
Joe -
The grass is always greener, I guess - I get jealous of cooler of climates. :) When I got back to north Georgia yesterday evening, it was about 15 degrees cooler though. I haven't given up my open toed shoes yet.
Beautiful picture of the tree! We had some beautiful scenery driving here, too.
Riot Kitty -
Northern California - that is just a lovely part of the country. And nothing else I've seen looks like that. Sounds like you are having a great time!
Another wedding so soon? I've never seen a fuzzy-in-season cotton field before- it's awesome, thanks!
I do remember the Spanish Moss from trips to FL, neat stuff- but makes trees look kinda messy...
Snaggle -
That is what is so fun to me about visiting other areas of the country - unique flora.
