  • Bounty

      The H. M. S. Bounty glides into St. Augustine harbor and dwarfs the bayfront. In order for her to get through the Bridge of Lions, her spars were set near vertical as she waited for high water.   A beautiful sight she is!

  • Spider and Web

      Spiders and webs, what a brilliant idea! How did Mother Nature come up with these things?   This spider is so curious that it is difficult to discern its head from its toe. There are so many secrets in life to unravel, it's astonishing.

        Cloudy days have their beauty, especially when the sun finds a way to shine through.   Here's to all the "clouds" in our lives being holy!       St. Augustine bay front, shot from the Bridge of Lions.
