The Island in Time

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

            ~ H.P. Lovecraft

Last time I went to St. Catherines, I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. Little did I know that I would be returning only a few months later. Experiencing the island in the winter added a new layer to my understanding of the place and my own love for it. The beaches are more desolate, the weather more harrowing, but the beauty remains undimmed. 

Made some lemur friends along the way, sat on the dock, saw some gorgeous sunsets, went on some great walks, and enjoyed myself more than ever.

Oh the places you'll go!

Oh the places you'll go, the people you'll see! But where oh where have I gone?

While the rest of New York was preparing for fall, I took an extended summer. For most of October I have been on St. Catherine's Island, one of the Sea Islands or Golden Isles located just off the coast of Georgia. Being archaeologist is amazing for many reasons, one of which being the opportunity to travel to places closed to others. The island is host to many researchers, lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Hope you guys enjoy the photos!
