Amelia Island Adventure Day 4

There are a number of these beautiful fountains on Centre Street and neighboring area in the historic section of Fernandina.   It took several tries before I got the camera settings right to capture the water drops.  I get so frustrated sometimes that I am sorely tempted to switch back to aperture priority mode rather than manual, but I did get it right in the end.


The skies are so gorgeous just before dawn.  I couldn't resist taking my camera with me on my morning walk.  It gets a bit heavy hanging around my neck, but scenes like this are well worth it.

Amelia Island Adventure Day 3

Last night we ate dinner at the Salty Pelican across from the harbor.  The sun was setting - it was beautiful.


This morning, I was up early again for the sunrise. 

The architecture here is fabulous!

 Sea Turtle tracks

Lunch at Sandy Bottoms on the beach.  Betty enjoyed a Blue Moon beer.  Being the designated driver, I enjoyed a icy glass of water :-(



This afternoon found us at Big Talbot State Park.  The beach is filled with fabulous driftwood.

Amelia Island Adventure Day 2

Up early to catch the sunrise.  The tide was still out - a breeze - no people - heaven!


Walking around Fernandina Historic District
The homes in the area are delightful.  Beautiful gardens and lots of picket fences.

Train Depot opened in 1899 and served as the railroad depot until the 1930s.  It now houses the Visitors Center.


 Nassau County Courthouse built in 1891
I thought it might rain - but it did not

 Back to the beach
