2011 " The Year Of Reuse & Appreciate "

I started at the gate with the orange/3 holes bricks.

Found the red bricks from the kitchen chimney, 1890 circa, more work to lay!

The red bricks from 1890 are irregular in a rectangle shape. I am using a brick chisel to chip off the 1890 mortar which consists of, 120 years old sandy-salt crumbles!

Needs Red Geraniums

 This boat is moored on the river in front of the Nombre De Dios church. Behind it is the bridge we take to Vilano Beach, the views are breathtaking.

Nombre De Dios 1565

This shrine is dedicated to Our Lady de La Leche y Buen Parto-Our Lady of Milk and Happy Delivery. The original shrine is from 1565, it has been rebuilt on the same spot 3 times, this one is from 1915. It is so serene inside and out. This park runs along the Mantanza river at the end of Mulberry St. It is a beautiful place for a walk.

The Color Of Flowers

I found this in an antique junk shop north of St Augustine. Going back for a mirror and wall sconces!
