Today we had to leave Jellystone but couldn't go without one more walk around this little bit of doggy paradise. It was so still out and the reflections were beautiful in the water.
Here, come and join us for a peaceful walk this morning.
Here is one of the Boo Boo Bungalows. What a beautiful setting to wake up to in the morning.
From there we walked down this very pretty trail. It just so happened a bird flew right across the path as I snapped this shot.
Only one thing could be better than one Wazzu - and that would be two of Wazzu.
I managed to get a shot of the Great Blue Heron and his reflection before he got spooked by our presence.
Here's a picture of the waterslide I mentioned yesterday. In addition, they have a paintball area, miniature golf, indoor swimming pool, a skateboard park and many other fun activities for kids to do. It really is quite the place. But I must say I'm glad we were there all by ourselves. I imagine it's a bit different with 400-500 people there - and probably over half of them being kids.
Near our RV was a small play area for real little kids. A dog I used to have, Buddy, loved going on slides with me - large slides. I thought maybe Sparkie would like to go on the baby slide.
But Sparkie took one look at it and thought it must be some new kind of agility object. So, in keeping with that theme, she decided she'd better fly.....you don't want to touch the yellow!! Ha ha.
Unfortunately, it was time to leave. We headed across the state to the eastern coast of Florida.
When we arrived at our next destination, St. Augustine Beach, we weren't too sure about it. Heck, at Jellystone our street name was "Squirrel Lane." Here we saw street names like "Shark Fin Lane" and "Barracuda Avenue." We were thinking maybe we should turn around!
But we decided to give it a try. After getting settled we went to a nearby beach. I don't know the real name of the beach but I'm thinking it would only be appropriate for it to be named "Jellyfish Beach."
There were hundreds of jellyfish on the beach - both up on shore and in the water. These are Moon Jellyfish.
In this picture, notice the little bumps - these are all jellyfish. And the whole beach, as far as you could see, had hundreds of these jellyfish just dotting the beach.
I'm guessing this is probably a jellyfish but doesn't it almost look like "Jaws?"
The beach had some pretty little birds as well.
This Ruddy Turnstone seemed to be finding plenty to eat.
And here is the cute Western Sandpiper.
A flock of gulls took off as we approached. As you might imagine, with three dogs, we don't sneak up on too many things!
As we got further down the beach we came to a state park. There was a boardwalk there that went out over the dunes. I snapped a couple pictures of the beach area.
From there, we could see a lighthouse off in the distance. We did drive there later but we were so close then that you couldn't really get a good picture of it.
On the walk back we saw some Pelicans wave surfing. This is the coolest thing to see in person. Mike and I could watch them do this for hours.
We also saw a guy surfing. But he wasn't nearly as much fun watch and certainly wasn't nearly as talented as the Pelicans.
Back at the RV park I took a short walk. I came upon a Bird of Paradise plant. Unfortunately, they were a little past their prime as you can see. But it still is pretty.
