Once I made it through the field of mud I came out to the ocean. It was a very pretty sight to see.

The setting sun is always pretty, no matter where you are, but the really nice thing about the sunset in Florida, in early February, is that it’s about…

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…

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…
