St. Andrew’s State Park

   September 11, 2013-On this “Patriot’s Day” we visited the nearby St. Andrew’s State Park.[again]

  

The jetty and the bay

  Up to this point in our trip the beach has had a yellow flag every day

Moving on…

   The water was even less clear inside of this bay.  The water had the color and visibility of tea, but was much too salty for any further comparison.

It’s always interesting to sit near the bay and watch the ships roll in…

…oh, I feel a song coming on:

  We also visited the alligator park in St. Andrew’s:

We brought some bait for the alligators!

  With all of the rain that they’ve had down here this summer, the path was flooded by several feet!  These steps would have lead down to the path.

   During the first week of our trip, these planes must have been doing some maneuvers from Tyndall Air Force Base and we’d hear them blow by probably a dozen times a day.  I would love to know what kind of planes these are.

   I didn’t have time to catch a picture of the “North Thomas Dr” which would’ve been more fitting.

What a fantastic sunset!

I love to see the wide variance of colors in a sunset’s “gradient”
