A Stroll Through Savannah

This post may contain affiliate links and/or PR samples.

Sunday afternoon I went to Savannah by myself for the first time in ages. It was a gloriously beautiful day. It was one of those days you only see a handful of times in a year. The days that prompt you to praise God for the beauty he gave us on this earth.

One thing I love about living in the South is the Spanish moss. It is absolutely breathtaking! It drapes the famed Savannah oaks with cascading willowy capes. It almost makes up for the lack of leaves changing colors in the fall. Almost.

I only walked around for a short while. My knee is getting better, but after a while I realized I had been walking around snapping pictures like a tourist for nearly two hours. Oops. Time flies when you’re having fun!

Leopold's ice cream Savannah GA

I really wanted some ice-cream from Leopold’s but the line was out the door. Literally. I can still count on it being hot enough for ice-cream well into October and November. Any takers?

In a few hours I will take on a 3-hour private photography tour of Savannah. Excited is an understatement! I’m already comfortable in shooting in AV mode (aperture priority) on my DSLR. The photographers told me that I’d be shooting in full manual by the end of our session! Yay!

Expect another photo dump of pictures of Savannah soon. This city is truly a dream for photography. It’s just gorgeous.

Have you been to Savannah?

  1. These are some gorgeous photos! I can’t wait to see what you come up with on your photo your. I miss living in Savannah so much!! Leopold’s is always worth the wait. Even in November & December! (:

    • Thanks!

      I will definitely look into Leopold’s in the next week or two…and I’m not even a sweets lover.

    • Thanks Brittany! Savannah is gorgeous. You should visit sometime! And I’ll be posting new ones this week!

    • You would LOVE Savannah! I definitely recommend taking a photography tour with the couple I booked. Or at least one of the trolley tours (which I’m totally doing as well!).

      Come visit!

  4. gorgeous photos! i’m taking a photography class now and am still mainly using aperture or shutt priority modes. she tells us that we’ll all be comfortable in manual soon but i’m nervous! :)

    • Eeek! I only shot in AV priority mode before this tour. Now I’m shooting in full manual. You can do it!

  5. I want to visit Savannah so bad! It looks absolutely incredible! I need someone to show me how to use my camera… I’m having trouble finding time to get out and play with it. :(

    I’m going to live vicariously through you while you’re in fabulous Savannah. :)

    • Come to Savannah and take a tour with Pablo and Britt. They’ll make you a DSLR whiz in no time!

  7. You got some glorious shots of the city!!! Hope you are having fun on your tour/class. Can’t wait to see all the shots your got….I so need to take a camera class. Ross is the only one who knows how to work our camera!! Shameful.

    • This was a pretty cool tour I went on. Only $54 for a one-on-one for THREE HOURS. I’m now in full manual mode!

  9. Beautiful photos!
    And that tour sounds amazing. I’m definitely going to look into doing that in Houston.
    Please come back and post your pics!

  10. I go to Savannah all the time! Well, not as much as I used too. I live in Greenville, SC now but grew up and still have family in Beaufort. At least twice a year my brother and I end up in Savannah for some shopping. I always forget how pretty it is there!

  12. Wow thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures! Sometimes I can forget how beautiful our own country is because I get distracted by all the other corners of the world. I love the details you captured of Savannah, especially the fence in that first picture.

  13. Wow what amazing photos you have taken! I have never been to Savannah but I have been wanting to go for awhile. It looks beautiful there. I can’t wait to see more pictures from your photography tour that is so cool that they have those! I hope you have lots of fun!

  14. I just LOVE Savannah! One of my favorite weekend getaways!! My “manfriend” just moved down there so I’ll be spending a lot more time down there and I can’t wait! The photography tour is going to be awesome I’m sure, can’t wait to see all the photos!

  18. I’m originally from Georgia and have been to Savannah several times. I lived very close to there after graduating college and would always go down to River Street on the weekends. Savannah’s sweet, southern, and quaint, which is what I love about it. Its definitely a spot to stop through when your in that area of southeastern Georgia.

    • It is definitely a sweet and quaint city. I love that there so much beauty to look at and plenty of parking!

  19. Wow what awesome photos loved all of them, I have not heard of Savannah, ok if I have heard of it I do not remember at this point and right now is what matters because right now is when I am sitting here writing a comment

  21. I have been to Savannah twice. The first time we just walked around then during our second visit last July (God, it was hot), we took the Trolley Tour (sounds so touristy but a must when you are rushed for time) and learned so so much about the city. I am Canadian and when people ask me if I would have to choose anywhere in the world to live… it would definitely be somewhere in the south!

    • I am planning on taking a trolley tour as well. I lived in NYC for over half my life and never did anything touristy. I now regret it badly!
