St. Augustine – Ephemerality

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

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

These dunes triggered childhood memories of White Sands National Park

A sandpiper had left tracks, creating this pleasant beach scene
