Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Good Fences
Happy Easter & Happy Passover to all that celebrate!
Hello, it's time for sharing some Skywatch photos for Skywatch Friday and some fence scenes for Tex's Good Fences memes. These images are from our Florida trip and visit to Saint Augustine. We climbed the 219 steps to the top of the Saint Augustine Lighthouse. The views from the top were beautiful and I could look down at the Wood Stork rookery at the nearby Alligator Farm..

From the top of the lighthouse I zoomed into see this pier upclose and the birds. A few perched Brown Pelicans, an egret and a couple of Cormorants..
I hope you enjoyed our lighthouse visit and the birds. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments..

ReplyDeleteHi Eileen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, especially the lighthouse is great.
Nice lighthouse, and some great views. And you even spotted a few birds!
ReplyDeleteThe views from the light house are gorgeous. The sky watch with pure white clouds and shining bright blue sky is like pampering the senses.
ReplyDeleteNice collages, Eileen! I've never been up in a lighthouse, but I have been up in the Space Needle!! LOL. Great views you gave us, and I really like the rope/cable fence.
ReplyDeleteEileen, beautiful post this morning, and an Easter greeting to you as well. Enjoy the weekend.

ReplyDeleteWow!What a lovely place to visit!!

Lighthouses are a favorite of mine and this one is stunning. Wow 219 steps, that's quite a climb but those views were worth it. I like the rope fence you found and the one on the bridge too. Gorgeous skies and how neat to see the wood storks.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous photos, Eileen! The lighthouse is just stunning. Love the sunny Florida skies, too!
ReplyDeleteI especially loved the spiral staircase inside the lighthouse Eileen. I love lighthouses. It's been a long time since I climbed up one. Great photos of the surrounding area and the birds. Thanks for sharing and have a great day :)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful pictures. We've been to the lighthouse in St. Augustine, but weren't able to climb those 219 steps to the top. Now I see that we'll have to go back and enjoy the view from the top.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty pictures, Eileen. I especially love the second large one of the lighthouse - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy April!
Poppy
thats some good fences
ReplyDeletepeter
Such a lovely lighthouse! Beautiful fence close to it, and all the birds - just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
what a beautiful place. I would gladly walk those 219 steps to get on top to see it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures of lovely skies and a gorgeous area!! Thanks so much for sharing the beauty!! Have a lovely weekend!!
ReplyDeleteGreat place to see! I like lighthouses too, and love your photos of it against the blues sky. Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these images. I once saw a travel program that featured St. Augustine and from that time on I wanted to visit this place.
ReplyDeleteA lot of steps to climb. I couldn't do it today but there was a time. Sure like that rope fence.
ReplyDeleteIt's so green there and it looks so warm already. I've never been to Florida and would love to visit one day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Very nice, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteHappy SWF to you. xx
My husband and I stopped in St. Augustine many years ago in our early married life while on a trip to Florida. I loved it. I don't remember a lighthouse but your photo of it is gorgeous! The sky offered you a lovely backdrop.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and yours Eileen!
Beautiful shots from Florida.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit to St. Augustine. It's a place my husband and I have talked about going for a few years now, but haven't made it. Great lighthouse and the storks are so cool!
ReplyDeleteA nice lighthouse you found, brilliant pictures.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures of St Augustine..I was there many years ago..Nice walking town..Love the area around the college..Bought back memories..
ReplyDeleteWood stork rookery!
ReplyDeleteThose pics reminded my of Jekyll Island. There were swamp ponds in the forest/jungle in the middle of the island, and some trees would be full of big white birds. I thought they were egrets...

ReplyDeleteHello Eileen! You had a great place to visit in Florida. It must have been so nice to see the rookery. Great shot looking up inside the lighthouse. That's a lot of stairs ... did you have jelly legs by the time you walked back down? Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteWendy

It is not any wonder people love the light houses ... what a wonderful spot and the views were amazing. Quite a contrast in your fences, but both perfect for Good Fences. You did, however, forget the Seagulls in your last picture :) Wonderful post, Eileen and I love St. Augustine ... hope I get back there again some day.
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
Hi Eileen, What wonderful pictures. Yes, St. Augustine is a neat place. It is a bit less than 2 hrs. from where I live. I have only been there to explore twice but really loved it. I have never seen so many Wood Storks in one spot as you had photographed there. Really great! Wishing you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love light houses.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful place andscenery ..Very cool all .. Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue skies !
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you too !
Your photos are so inspiring and enjoyable! Thank you! I wish you a wonderful Easterweekend.

ReplyDeleteWhat pretty shots!
ReplyDeleteEileen, that sky is gorgeous! I too would have had to climb those stairs to the top. Really beautiful photos that I enjoyed immensely!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Beautiful lighthouse!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures from the lighthouse. My second great grandfather was a light keeper at some of the lighthouses on the Great Lakes. I hope to make it up to see the lighthouse that he worked at someday.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous place! I love your lighthouse collage!
ReplyDeleteBoth lived in and visited Florida many times, but I've never been to St. Augustine! Beautiful place! Love the lighthouse, inside & out and the great views! Wonderful photos. Have a very Blessed Easter!
