St. Augustine

Last week we visited St. Augustine.  From the perspective of humanity, Florida really sucks.  I hate the people.  I hate the culture.

However, focusing on the the biome itself (which is my preference), I did find it interesting.  The warmer climate reminded me of my own childhood,  and also served as a respite from the lingering Ohio winter.  So, phone in hand, I cataloged points of interest:

palm
Palm trees! Obligatory photo of a flora novel to a Midwesterner
view
My daughter’s first view of the ocean–I wonder if this moment will form a permanent memory
lizard
Not sure how a small reptile can appear cute, but they do
spanish moss
I just really like Spanish moss
glamor
A young model in the making? Maybe I can get a contract with Target
dinner
I watched this lizard repeatedly attempt to eat this inchworm, but it was behind the screen. The battle moved behind the board, so I never saw the outcome
dunes
These dunes triggered childhood memories of White Sands National Park
turtle
Tortuga
tracks
A sandpiper had left tracks, creating this pleasant beach scene
