These will probably be the last photos taken on my old Nikon L830. It has decided to fall apart, all the plastic bits disappearing. So, I ordered another “cheap” point and shoot camera — the only kind I use as they are easy to carry — and should receive it today.
The weather was very cold on Friday when I visited the park. I had intended to go onto Washington Oaks Gardens as I usually combine these two parks since they are situated close to each other. However, feeling very tired… perhaps from the energies or a little upset after a strange online encounter. Anyway, I decided to make it a loop driving trip and circled around up through St. John’s County until reaching SR206 and then heading back via SR 1 south. I wanted to see the progress on the turn-about at the intersection of Old King’s Road and SR1. It’s done. A shopping center is slated to go in as lots of houses are being built out that way and there aren’t any close-by grocery stores. Then I took myself out to breakfast. It was a satisfying way to finish my little outing.
Today, Sunday, I headed out to the Graham Swamp Trail, a RT 4 mile on a combination of old railroad right-a-way or road and boardwalk over the swampy areas. I decided not to bring my old decrepit camera so, sorry, no photos. It was a delicious brisk 57 degrees F, so perfect walking weather.
Hopefully, I’ll get out for another photo nature walk this next week. The remnants of Tropical Storm Sarah, which is now flooding into Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico will be drawn our way by Wednesday. It’s my laundry day, so I’ll be home anyway.
If you’re new, here are some links to earlier trips (2023) to Graham Swamp:
