Everyone once in a while people ask me. Why do you like living here? (Savannah). For me it has to be the marsh. It has this strange quality. When we lived at the old house, during a summer high tide water came up to the back porch. We got our neighbors boat and floated around the flooded marsh. One of the best pictures I ever made is hanging above my sisters couch of the marsh. It was a sanctuary when my grandfather had his 1st stroke. It was our kingdom and playground. Now its one of my inspirations. I remember talking marsh walks and watching fiddler crabs and eating sea cucumbers There was the time JP got stranded on the island or when penny would disappear into the grass. If you Google earth you can see a fading aspect of the trails we made. needless to say we have a history. When i drive by the marsh the and see a puddle or a trail it makes me want to jump out of my car and see where it goes. When I smell the marsh when the tide is low it can't be expressed the memories that return. When the cousins get a little older . Maybe I can lead them on a marsh trek. People express their love for the beach. I like the beach but I love the marsh. So that's why I live here. I'm coastal Georgian
