The eyes have it

FERNANDINA BEACH, FL - - Summer vacation is over. So, what else is new?? Not much. But the weather is getting (a little) cooler and we're hitting the road again for short trips. This weekend it was Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, about 110 miles north. A quaint ocean-side town with a historic district on the inland waterway, is most notably known for being 'the' place in the shrimping business over 100 years ago...and still hauling them in.

This wide-eyed calico feline we found on a side street six blocks from the docks was very friendly and very interested in the camera at just about eye height. Her curiosity brought this picture. We also saw about dozen wild turkeys feeding alongside the road on our trip up, but they scampered off before we could get photos.
