Catching up with some pictures - Johnathan Dickinson State Park, Hobe Sound, Florida



The live oaks around Amelia Island. We were fascinated with the size and abundance of these trees on the Island.

Our last sunset at Fort Clinch S.P. This vies was across the St Mary's river.

Farmer's market at St Augustine. Lots of vendors and people shopping. This is a popular activity in Florida on the weekends.

One of the oldest churches in the country. The parish dates back to the 1500's but was rebuilt twice since the early days.

The Blue Man Group trainees outside of the fort at St Augustine.

Castille Del San Marco.

A view into the fort. The fort was constructed by the Spanish Army in the 1670's.

Firing the canon. 

The three types of artillery were on display at the fort.

Beautiful engraving on these weapons of mass destruction.

Next stop was Flagler beach. We really enjoyed this camp since we had beautiful weather and were right on the beach.

Roger Gimbal memorial monument.

Silver Spring at Silver Springs State park. We drove over to visit Bev and Gary Clark.

Wetlands at Johnathan Dickinson State Park.

We were treated to some beautiful sunsets here in the past few days.

The state park was built on an old military installation. The land was turned over to Florida after World War II

A view from the observation tower at Hobe Mountain. We were at 86 feet above sea level ! The air was really thin at this altitude! The view is of the intercoastal waterway and further to the Atlantic.

A swamp buggy in the park

Red Bellied woodpecker.
