A few days....

One evening I roamed St. Augustine while D did a community service at The Florida School for the Deaf & Blind. There was a little party for the kids and he helped. His buddy for the evening was a clever little boy named Chris. So, while he was helping with the party, I walked downtown and took some pictures.

The first is of a girl named Summer with wings. She was adorable!

Summer "100 Strangers" #17

Summer was colorful from head to toes. I loved her rainbow skirt and socks!

I saw some really cute valentiney things.

And, oh, how good these looked!

Only the most adorable little street in America! Probably the oldest one too.

“I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.”

In front of the Spanish Military Hospital.

Does this not take your breath away? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the moon. And the fact that I was so close to the water...well, a magic moment.

"And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonbeams kiss the sea..."

This was me in the Casa Monica Hotel. What a beautiful building!

"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up."

This was the next day. Or not. I can't remember the day. I do remember D was in school, and I chose to be let out downtown and walk south. Not good with directions, so don't take the south part to heart.

"And that is the theme of War, the fortune of battles, The making of perfect soldiers."

We all knew that the farmers market would show up! And here it is. Only a quick trip. And a new lens!
