The photographs, “Amelia Island Revealed,” are a wonderful addition to my morning routine. Thanks very much to Tim Forrest, Jim Ekstrom, Priscella Footlik, David Lee Roberts, Don Wiest, all of you photographers for making the effort and posting these shots of Amelia.
For about six months of the year I am “away” from the island….so, you can imagine how thrilling it is for me to see the glorious photos each morning …of the beach and the birds and the surf. Thank you all for sharing your passion with your photography. Also appreciating the editors views and the Reporters at Large. I’ll be back soon to the Island….Sandy
