Soup's On!

I recently found a new lunch/dinner spot in the Riverside avondale section of Jacksonville called "Soup's On". Lots of good, homemade soups and sandwiches, plus good iced tea to boot. Always willing to let you sample any of the soups, you could almost get by on that alone!
The restaurant is fairly small, but comfortable, and offers free wifi as well. The menu changes daily, and they always have plenty of frozen pints to take home and have later in the week. I found the dessert soups very interesting and have tried several, all delicious! The soup in this photo is a chicken/mushroom/lemongrass/noodle soup, and the sandwich is a portabella with pepper jack cheese and arugula.
Feel free to click on the photo to see in more detail!

This picture was taken at the Fountain of Youth park in St Augustine. I didn't actually go into the fountain area, just wandered the area nearby. There were at least 5 peacocks, and they made quite a racket!!

Skywatch Friday

North Florida and South Georgia are being kept pretty smoky, with all the wildfires in the area. Some days it's not so bad. This is what I saw while driving this morning on the northside of Jax, just a couple miles from the airport. The view is on US 17 going south (towards downtown Jax).

Camera Critters Weekend





Saw this fella (a blue heron) on my walk along the north Riverwalk, between downtown Jacksonville and the Riverside Arts Market. The river behind him is the the St Johns river.
