Maria Sanchez Lake is almost downtown St. Augustine, a residential area with older homes. The lake is a bird magnet and there are often some nice flowers in yards around the lake.
If you don't see any birds near the water look up in the Oak trees. This Great Egret and the White Ibis were waiting for the tide to start in. This flower is a Lycoris, it was almost hidden by someone's garbage can.

You post great photos! I may not comment on all your threads but you can bet I check them every time!
Nice...
Good job.
That 3rd picture-the log looks like a gator! :D
I mean the 4th picture
Hey!
Didn’t know that lycoris came in that color! Beautiful!
If you see a couple of stray guineas, let me know! Mine decided to fly the coop this evening. They’re too stupid to go back inside with the hens and too stupid to roost in the trees.
Very cool pics, thanks.
Thanks for sharing your talent.
Very nice work, SWAMPSNIPER.
Ahhhh, my treat for the day. ; )
Beautiful...did not know the name of the flower.
Awesome as usual.
Ditto that ... love your pix!!
