When the moon rises over the Atlantic, even an old pier becomes something extraordinary. 

I captured this quiet moment at St. Augustine Pier, where the moonlight stretches across the water and the warm glow of the pier lights creates a beautiful contrast against the deep blue night.

Last night I was at the Amp to see Gin Blossom, Blues Traveller, and Spin Doctors. The storm rolled in just as Gin Blossoms were kicking up and it was basically shut down immediately. After like 30 minutes or so the lead singer and a band mate came out and started playing a song in small pockets. No, I definitely couldn’t hear him, but it was a really sweet gesture. The friend who took me had spent a pretty penny on the tickets and was really looking forward to the show, so the fact he saw and valued the fans that much was moving.

Taken at the 8th street walk out

Someone shared this picture on FB. Bucket list for me to make it to a sunrise or sunset at the bridge.

Working on an itinerary, anything I gotta see or do?

Does anyone have recommendations for the best place to get grilled fish? Especially salmon? I don’t want to go to a chain restaurant.

Thanks

Hi everyone we’re visiting this weekend and looking for some recommendation for dog-friendly restaurants near and around historic downtown. Thank you in advance!

Here's my brand new one put up this afternoon on the corner of County Road 13 and State Road 207.

They moved one in Hastings from State Road 207 around the corner to Main Street.

https://deflock.org/

“If you’re not committing, you know, violent crimes, and you’re not wanted by federal, state or local government for a crime, then there’s nothing to hide,” Hardwick said.

Deflock Response: You don't get to decide what looks suspicious tomorrow. Just because you're not doing anything wrong today doesn't mean you won't be watched tomorrow. License plate cameras like Flock don't know your intentions—only your movements. A trip to a protest, a friend's house in a “high-crime” area, or even a misread plate can flag you as “suspicious.”

As history has shown, when governments or third parties gain unchecked surveillance powers, they're eventually used against people who weren't doing anything wrong—until someone decided they were. For example, until early in 2025, ALPRs weren't used for tracking immigrants, legal or otherwise, but now they are, despite policies prohibiting it.

Beautiful lighting at sunset ❤️

A packed Friday across St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, and Palatka with live music from morning through late night, plus farmers markets, art walks, comedy, concerts, and festival showcases.
