Ahhhhhh....Island time.  It is wonderful to be back at Jekyll Island for a couple of weeks.  Changes are in progress with a new Conference Centre to be opened in May, new Hotels in the works and an updated shopping area.  The first picture shows the Conference Centre and part of Great Dunes Park.  One of the great features of Jekyll is it's natural environment and lack of high rise buildings.  Only 35% of the Island can be developed and strict rules must be followed.  Upgrades were needed but they will not happen over night.  Great Dunes Park is a large area of beach front with no buildings.  The bike path has been upgraded as well as washroom and picnic facilities without compromising the Dunes.

On the marsh bike path we saw this pileated wood pecker.  Heard him first!

Wally Gator still inhabiting an interior pond.

The Morgan Centre has been restored.  This was an indoor tennis facility used by the wealthy Club Members in the hey day.

Sandy and Richard are here too...renting a condo for a couple of weeks.  Fun to catch up with them again!

Camping in the Forest.  Quite a change from the desert!
