21/01: Lighthouse and Anastasia State Park

Posted by: The Agnew Family
The St. Augustine Lighthouse can be seen from a long distance off --- from St. Augustine Beach and St. Augustine. Ed and John decided to climb the lighthouse and tour the grounds, while Carol, Zaph, Cait and I opted to walk around the lighthouse neighborhood. This lighthouse is fairly tall as you have to climb 219 steps to reach the top. The lighthouse is 140 years old and is second lighthouse in this location.
The lighthouse. That's Ed standing at the top waving at us.
This is us waving back at Ed.
The view of St. Augustine from the top of the lighthouse.
Looking out at the inland water way.
Inside the light.
Looking down the steps.
Carol and I found this house with a boat prow.
I could live here. This house is on the water. I shot the photo through the window in the gate. Just love the outdoor fireplace.
Carol and I walk down the fishing pier at the yacht club and found a couple of fishermen filleting fish. They threw the scrap pieces of fish into the water to the waiting pelicans. Small pieces of fish were picked off in the air by sea gulls.
Ed had read that there was good birding at the local state park (Anastasia). Don't think the good birding is in January. We did see this cardinal attacking the side mirrors of vehicles.
Zaph and Cait had a great time today.
