Did I say a walk? It was nearly a sprint, maybe a trot. My cousin is fast! But we had a lot of territory to cover in one morning, or so I thought. As it turned out we parked the car and then were able to walk to the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, the charming shopping area, the fort, and the Bridge of Lions. Great restaurants and coffee shops were pointed out to me as we walked. This is a great place to visit. Even the lighthouse was pretty darned close by. What more could you possibly ask for?
This building housed the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, and now houses Flagler College.The stained glass and mosaics of the interior design were designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.An egret with a fish will always catch my attention. But he let his catch go, alas, too late for the fish to survive.The Lightner Museum is located across the street from Flagler College.These are very impressive buildings and garden settings.I will always love to look at a scene through an arch.I saw photographers taking their time, setting up their tripods, while I zoomed along. Next time!Shooting on the fly is my excuse for cutting off the sign.A walk through the lobby.Also found in the narrow shopping streets.Lots of alleyways to explore.Such pretty flowers.Street photography.The Castillo De San Marcos is the oldest fort in the continental United States. I zoomed past. Further exploration to come another day.The Bridge of Lions, aptly named for these two who guard the entrance.I have to go back.
