When you spent most of your life living on the coast of Georgia, you don't look for the transition to traditional fall colors. Our fall colors are green and blue. The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words applies.
The sky is blue at sunset as is the water looking off Jekyll Island across the intracoastal waterway to the Sidney Lanier Bridge. This is the final photo taking after a bike ride on the 1st Sunday in November.
This photograph of the Plantation House on history making Butler Island Plantation is an excellent showing of our green fall colors (as well as some of our history). (This photo taken the last week in October).
The blue sky and the blue water at the Brunswick Landing Marina were taken in the third week of October.

Green is the predominate color in the recently renovated Hanover Square in downtown Brunswick. Photo was taken in the third week of October.

The water and sky are blue and the trees are green in this photo from the Blythe Island Regional Parklooking across to the Sidney Lanier Bridge and Jekyll Island.
Actually, while we enjoy the sun in the summer, it is a nice change of weather but not change of color in the fall. Green and blue may not be considered traditional fall colors, but they are the tradition in Brunswick and the Golden Isles of Georgia.

Many of my loyal readers (yes, my mother and 2 other people I pay to be) will know that Logan is the star of so many of my posts. I feel like Logan is one my babies (although he is growing up).

(sorry....no good Georgia Bulldog fan can miss a plug for The Dawgs....)
While I have a 21 year old son, John who is the light of my life, I find that when starting a new project from the ground up, the development feels like a baby and comes with responsibility and awe and joy. While participating in all aspects of design including entrance, signage, homes styles, home plans, exterior and interior finishes, you feel extremely overwhelmed and excited.

So much time is spent in and on these projects that becoming greatly attached to their outcome makes you expectant. While watching the area develop and grow, I see how well I have done tending this place that will will be called home.
Because I am having 4 new babies this year (The Plantation at Golden Isles, The Cottages at Golden Isles, The Estates at Golden Isles and The Retreat at Golden Isles), I have been working like a mother expecting quadruplets.

So today, The Brunswick News has put both of my babies in the paper. I am a proud mother and want to show off Logan and The Plantation at Golden Isles. While this project is really still in its infancy, it is great to see the media recognition for the hard work my developers and builders along with The Chapman Realty Builder Team put into making a place you can be proud to call home.
