St Augustine Beach

Bob, (the other volunteer here), and I spent a couple of days last week repairing fence here. It is one of my favourite jobs here and as usual we had some friends on the fence posts. The first one is very common on the fence posts and is called a fence lizard. They are harmless and love to climb on to your back when you are not looking and ride in the pickup on the back of the seat or on the window ledge.


This critter is not so friendly, but they like to come out of the cracks in the posts and look like they are going to sting you. Scorpions.


On Monday we went to the beach in St Augustine. You can drive 4 wheel drive vehicles on the beach there so we drove down the beach and stopped to walk for a couple of times along the way. We were going to visit a few historical places downtown but it was way too crowded for us there. We might try again someday and go earlier in the morning.




 Janice was collecting shells in the surf and was tickled to find this barnacle that was purple!


We stopped in Polatka on the way home and had a delicious fish supper at Corky Bell's. It is a little restaurant on the shore of the St. Johns River.
