Tuesday 15th August
We revisited Harbour Town this morning: a picture perfect location on the southern end of Hilton Head Island.
The lighthouse stands tall, complete in its red and white livery; the various boats, yachts and gin palaces in the marina compete for attention; red rocking chairs are placed in the shade, for hot and weary travellers to rest a while; and the ice-cream parlour with many scrumptious flavours is there to tempt tourists.
It is the tree swing though, that brings back so many memories of you. Having parked the car, it was the first thing you saw when we walked towards the marina. You loved to sit, gently swing back and forth, whilst reading your book.
Today Grinch and Frankie Angel Bear sat there. Did you see? Were you there too? Did you sit beside us? I think you did.
We love you so much
We miss you every day
Our darling Angel son

Terrific tones and textures of the bark on the trunk
A huge, most revolting bug!

That huge revolting bug is a cicada! Yuck. The lighthouse is beautiful. It looks so peaceful ❤️

Aha, thank you for identifying the bug ~ have heard them many times, but not seen one up close! It looked sort of anaemic 😵
We do like Harbour Town.

Yes, they are quite the noisy little buggers. It was probably ready to shed its shell.

Just for the sake of information, it looks like the bug is a cicada moulting, shedding its skin, the last stage to becoming an adult. We have them in Arizona, too.

Aha! Thank you for the information. Always good to know names of things! It did look somewhat pale.
