An Amazing Day of Beauty and Inspiration!

What a day we had...first a new foal, Riley, a stunning all-white new baby horse born on the beaches of Cumberland Island.

Then another and another, a total of probably 12 or more wild horses on Cumberland Island today. Cormorants, great egrets, snowy egrets, a great Blue Heron and dolphins decorated our journey throughout the salt marshes that line Beech Creek on this precious wilderness island.

Then the sunset, burning pinkish orange mirrored by an equally stunning full moon. We greeted a submarine on its way out to the Atlantic and were accompanied by Athena, a 5 month old Pit Bull who slepts as we made our way home.

Check out our website, Facebook page and blogs soon for Frankie and Lola, two canine Golden's who sailed with us the other day, and a few special shots of the tranquility that is Cumberland Island with its dancing dolphins and wild horses in their element.

Follow us folks and come join us someday!
