St. Augustine, FL is the oldest city in the United States. It has an incredible history from the 16th, 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. Spent my 80th birthday week there as a vacation given to me by my significant other. I didn't feel like lugging my D850 or my D5500 and the lenses, etc. I chose to travel light, and use my Nikon Coolpix P7000, which has virtually the same controls/options as my DSLRs, and exceptional image quality. I refuse to use the digital telephoto. If I can't get it with the optical, then I have to move closer. This is the first set. I will be posting more as the days go by. I hope you enjoy them, and constructive criticism is welcome.

Nice shots. Been there many times. about a half hour drive from where I live!On the way back to fly home from KJAX, we stopped at the Jacksonville Zoo. Some good animals in good habitats. Some animals were not on display. I would like to get more time in Jacksonville. It probably has some good stuff to see.
