We spent a few days in St. Augustine this week. It’s one of the reasons we love living in this beautiful state. It only took us a couple of hours to drive to St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States. (Wikipedia link with more info HERE.)
The beach is wide with powdery white sand and I even found a fence near the dunes below our hotel.
I’ll have more photos to share so please be patient with me as I try to catch up on all of your news in the next few days. I love getting back from a trip and visiting everyone!

These photos were taken just before sunset when the sky starts to turn lavender and pink.
I hope you are having a wonderful week too?

Diane, I have toured the fort at St. Augustine and I was amazed.All those tiny shells...made me feel so small in the whole realm of this world. It's a beautiful old town. Loved your pictures. I think of you every time I see lavender skies. :):) xoxo, Susie
One of my favorite places!

Absolutely beautiful. You really do have the best adventures. These pictures are such a contrast to our 29 degrees this morning. Everything was covered in frost. Josie had thought it snowed when she woke up.

Beautiful beach scenes. I'm glad you had a nice time, too.
Wow it sure is gorgeous there Diane. I love looking at all your photos of the places you visit. Thanks.
Diane,
St. Augustine is beautiful. I never realized it was the oldest city though. Would love to see more pictures. The sand is so white and lovely.
Have a nice Friday, my friend.
love,

I wanted to thank you for having the pop-up comments. I have the hardest time leaving comments with any of the other ones. It's always so easy to leave a message with you, and I appreciate that so much.

I love ST Augustine! I go once a year to visit snowbird friends. I never tire of the sweet downtown!

Beautiful. Loving the blowing grasses.
Nice new header! That's one Florida city I've not been to yet.
Beautiful photos, Diane - the light is just wonderful. We visited St. Augustine years ago when friends lived there. I loved going to the fort and seeing the coquina walls.
Beautiful photos! We went to St Augustine many years ago on a vacation. Love it there.

I remember visiting St Augustine in 1973 when I was 8 years old. We had gone to Tampa to visit my Uncle and cousin and they took us there. So beautiful. We walked the town admiring the historic structures and we ate at a really cool restaurant though the name escapes me....then we were off to Sanabel Island! Maggie
I always enjoy your beach pictures since we do not have a beach anywhere near. I keep saying to myself, we need to see Florida.
Beautiful photos--been there and love the scenery, XOXO
Beautiful and relaxing-Hugs and blessings
I visited St. Augustine about 20 years ago and absolutely loved it. Where else can you find a walled city in the U.S.? Looking forward to seeing more of your photos.
Oh, I love the beach. This looks like a beautiful spot!
I was in St. Augustine years ago and thought it was so interesting! Have a nice weekend, Diane.
Just look at the sunset, birds and grass, you surely must have felt so peaceful. Beautiful, Diane.
Have a lovely weekend,
xo-

Lovely scenic shots! :)
I loved all your NC posts but these are beautiful too.
Our daughter lives in Ponte Vedra Beach, not far from St. Augustine, and each time we visit her we intend to go. Time passes too quickly and we still haven't made it but I want to next time.
Hello my sweet friend! I must apologize for missing so many of your delightful posts. I enjoyed myself as I scrolled through your pretty pictures :)
Happy weekend to you! Hugs
Beautiful shots. Love Florida's white sand beaches. I remember visiting the old fort in St. Augustine years ago and finding it really fascinating.
We visited St. Augustine over 30 years ago, and I would love to go back again sometime. I love the architecture in the old part of the city. The lighthouse was in shambles at the time, but I have read that it has been restored since then.
Gosh it's beautiful in your holiday neck of the woods. I love those luxurious, long, white, sandy beaches.
My brother and SIL spend the winters in Ocala, Diane. I visited them the Christmas after my first husband died in 2007, and they took me to see St. Augustine. It's a beautiful town, so charming. I love the old town with the art galleries and interesting shops. And, of course, the beach. I'd like to take Dennis there. Hugs, Nancy
I love a Florida sunset. Beautiful!
It is a beautiful place -- and so full of history. WE didn't spend time on the beach; guess we need to go back (a little farther for us, but we have lots of time!)
Enjoying our time in the Pacific Northwest, but definitely starting to miss Florida!
Dearest namemate, Florida has always been an item in my wish list. I really hope that I'll be able to see your place in my lifetime.
