Taking in the View

This shot was also taken from the new park that I showed last week. Besides people and dogs enjoying the park, it seems birds also enjoy the view.

Park Pano

In this shot we have most of the park. Lots of grass to lay a picnic blanket on and enjoy the view. On the other end of the…

Along the Edge

I didn’t have matching shots from the walkway of the new park but I don’t think anything actually changed. The walkway was in really good condition and I…

Park Parking

Here we have the before and after views of the parking lot. I’m guessing they don’t want a lot of visitors at once as there are only about…

Park Entrance

Here’s the before and after of the entrance to the park. I don’t think it will be much of a secret now that this leads to a park. 

New Park

For the past few years there was this little park we would go to that only the locals really knew about. You had to take a small path…

Red Rita

I really liked the look of this flower, that I’ve now named Red Rita. I came across it on one of our morning walks in Florida. It’s warmed…

Prickly Pete

I’m not someone that knows/remembers the names of birds, plants, people and probably a lot of other things. So, instead of trying to figure out what this plant…

The Old Jail

This display was just a couple blocks over from where we were staying in St. Augustine. I had no idea what the actual attraction was but I liked…

Lighthouse View

The $10 to get in to see the lighthouse was worth the price once you got to the top and looked out on this view. A couldn’t have…

St. Augustine Lighthouse

I’ve mentioned before in a blog that I love the look of lighthouses. Probably because they are near the water and I love being near the ocean. In…

St. Augustine Pier

After leaving all the snowstorms of January behind us, it was heaven to see blue skies and warm weather. This is a pier off of Beach Blvd. in…

Castillo de San Marcos

We had an extra day before we could get into the condo in Florida so we decided to stay a night in St. Augustine, Fl. I had never…

Savannah Sunset

Arrived home from Florida yesterday. We had beautiful weather the whole time I was there, which really made it hard to come back home to below freezing temperatures. …

Porter Square Gloves

At the Porter Square T stop, in Cambridge, I saw these gloves on the escalator. From a distance they looked as if they could have been real gloves….

Boston Sunset

It’s hard to believe that today is my last full day in Florida. I head back to the snow and cold tomorrow morning. I couldn’t have asked for…

Snow Lion

Yesterday we went to Johnathan Dickinson State Park and did a boat tour of the Loxahatchee River. While we didn’t see any lions we did see quite a…

JFK T Stop

Took this shot through the window on the commuter rail train. Happy to be on vacation this week and not having to wait outside for a train. I…

Monponsett Sunset

Apparently, we left for Florida at the perfect time. Everyday on the drive down we seemed to be one day ahead of the bad weather. We arrived yesterday…

Blue Sky After The Storm

Change of plan for yesterday…we couldn’t get into the condo until today so yesterday we stayed a night in St. Augustine to enjoy the scenery. The weather so…
