St. Augustine - last 2 weeks of February

 We want to eat better so we add more salads to our diet, like this 
Big Mac Salad with Fries
 Valentines Day was a washout so Gary took me out the next nice day to The Conch House for Dinner in one of the grass huts by the water
 
 
 

Pecan crusted Mahi Mahi for me
Bourbon Maple Scallops for Gary
 Tucson gets into his yogurt
More rainy weather

 We rode out to Fort McCoy to try and surprise Gary's cousin but they weren't there!

Google Maps took us by Rodman Dam

and then onto a Forest dirt road
We turned around

Got to their campground but theybut they were nowhere to be found.  We weren't too impressed with it so figured they had left to go elsewhere - guess we were the ones to be surprised!
 
Gary found out where they were and we headed back out a couple days later



 Spring is in the air 
 
and so is the smell of cabbage
 A walk at Moses Creek East in hope of catching a glimpse of an Eagle

Had to settle for this King Fisher
Rode the Bike down to Shanty Town, a new arts and crafts 
village that opened this year.


Nice shop with reasonable and nice local crafts. 

Another good beach day at the Mantanzas Inlet

 
Can't be Crabby here!

Though the jellyfish are a bit annoying!
 
 
A walk at Princess Place
 

The first deer we have seen here

 
We had put Tucson back on lease because the was no.se to the ground and on the trail of something, unfortunately I dropped it, which usually makes him stop, but this time he ran full speed into the underbrush and I started hearing wild pigs squealing.  We both took off into the jungle a good few hundred yards
 

Found him with leash tangled in Palmettos, unhurt Thank God!


 
We just catch the sunset 
 

 


and last full moon rising of the month
 



  Can't believe the month is gone already!
