Not gone … so far

by Reagan Walker | 5, Add your Comment | Jun 17, 2009

DSCN0447Traveling along Georgia’s Golden Isles Parkway, I always know I’m getting close to the beach when I pass this beautiful old apiary.

It is located in Gardi, between Jesup and Brunswick. Its quiet beauty always captures my attention, and causes me to slow down.

This is just a snapshot; my friend and professional photographer Bita Honarvar has captured it beautifully, and she recently expressed a fear I had not let myself acknowledge: what if I drive by one day and it is gone?

    Reagan, I love this building too and always look for it on our way to the coast. I have even thought, I need to buy that building and do something with it. Maybe open a restaurant– no, too much work and I don’t want to cook. Open an art studio–Would the artists and patrons come? Could it be put on the National Registry? How do you do that? I too don’t want to lose it. Shall we start a movement?

    I’ll join the movement. One of my favorite buildings.
    And that’s a pretty nice snap, Reagan…

    Saw it this morning on my way to Jesup. I’ll check in the Courthouse and see who owns it. An art gallery would be nice, but why not put in some bees and sell some honey?

    Mimi, I would love to know anything about the back story. And yes, I think it’s a perfect place for bees and honey. Just protect the structural integrity of the building, stick some hives in or near it and sell honey out of it one weekend a month or something…

What is CAPTCHA and why do I have to enter it to post a comment?

Quick answer: Look at the picture (below) that contains letters. Type those letters in the CAPTCHA Code box.

Longer explanation: Our comment system now requires a CAPTCHA test (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" for all comments (unless you have registered and are logged-in). CAPTCHA is an image of letters that is dynamically generated (click the speaker icon to hear it or the arrows to load another test that may be easier to read). The letters, because they're part of an image and not text (e.g. text that you could cut and paste), are difficult for a spambot or other computer program to read. Yet, a person has little trouble reading the letters in a captcha image and then typing them into the form. Using a captcha test on our website is a great way to ensure, for instance, that a person and not a spambot is filling out a web form (we used to get 100 or so spam comments every day which our volunteers had to wade through). Also, a captcha can make it difficult for a person to continuously resubmit form information and overwhelm our comment function. If you hate CAPTCHA, just register on LikeTheDew.com and login (registration is on the bottom left of our home page) and you won't be stopped by CAPTCHA.
