Washington Oaks Garden SP

We finally had a sunny 75F day so a trip to the east coast was in order.  The beach half way between Daytona and St. Augustine is an oddity due to the Coquino shells which solidfied into sedimentary rock.  This makes for an unusual beach to explore and photograph.

On the ocean side of the sandbar activity was centered on shelling, observing weathered rock, and watching seabirds dive bombing for fish.  On the sound side we explored the oak and palm hammock and watched the minnows and crabs.

The finale was a hawk which posed for pictures just as we reached the car. Naturally I had the wrong lense on but not bad considering I got within 25' before be flew away.
