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 trees! Obligatory photo of a flora novel to a MidwesternerMy daughter’s first view of the ocean–I wonder if this moment will form a permanent memoryNot sure how a small reptile can appear cute, but they doI just really like Spanish mossA young model in the making? Maybe I can get a contract with TargetI 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 outcomeThese dunes triggered childhood memories of White Sands National ParkTortugaA sandpiper had left tracks, creating this pleasant beach scene
