Long time, no see-um

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted.

Since my last post, I've taken pictures of the Dames Point Bridge.


Seen from Dames Point Park


Been having problems with either my knee or my foot or my ankle. Bad head cold for a while. Nyssa's Y-Pipe broke and needed to be welded. Went home for Christmas. A few other things here and there.

Still find myself more of a recluse than before, however.

But I decided to take a photo trip and do something I really wanted to do, ever since I started working in St. Marys, Georgia.

St. Marys is the "second oldest city in the U.S.A.", behind only St. Augustine, Florida. It was founded by the Spanish as their northernmost outpost (of Spanish Florida) in the 1500s. However, by the time of the late 18th century, the British colonists in Carolina had driven the Spanish south of the St. Marys River - which now demarcates the border between Georgia and Florida.



It's a nice little city which reminds me of Pineville back home. So I'd often tell myself that since I worked a few miles from this historic district, that I'd make sure and take some photos of the place.

Well, I finally did so.


First Presbyterian Church, St. Marys, GA


I spent a couple of hours walking around the historic district and took a lot of photos of flowers, the historic buildings, the waterfront park, and the small marina. One day I plan on going out to Cumberland Island itself.

For more of my photos from the walkabout, just visit my Flickr site.

More turtles and a couple of surprises

Today I went turtle hunting after having put it off over the weekend. I was feeling a little under the weather Friday, so instead I played World of Warcraft once I finally convinced myself to get out of a warm and comfortable bed.

I put all of the addresses in my iPhone and then tracked them down. Unfortunately, I didn't get them all even though I spent three hours in pursuit. The three I am still trying to get are:
Brave Little Soul, which apparently moves from one Daily's convenience store to another every so often;
Under the Sea Turtle, which is located at the Town Center of Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach; and
Fish Tale, at the Friendship Fountain in downtown Jacksonville.

Fish Tale and Under the Sea Turtle , I'm having the devil's own time locating.

However, I did catch a couple of manatee statues I hadn't noticed before and I took a couple of shots in Jacksonville that caught my eye.

Here's a Fire Engine photo I grabbed:

As promised, a slide show of my pictures from San Francisco. To see larger versions, go to my Flickr page.

Crawfish boil

I should've posted this link a while back.

I took several photos of our latest crawfish boil at the World Golf Village. Go here to check them out.

Update: Just added my favorite from the set.

Thanks,
