Downtown Jacksonville

My Kirk Tuck walk of the week. I hardly ever go to the downtown as there isn't much of one in Jacksonville. When you are a city of under a million with a land area greater than Los Angeles and surrounded by lovely beaches and open land there is no real urge to huddle up in the center. Therefore Jacksonville's core is mostly business buildings and few residential buildings. We were in town to go the the museum of science and history, MOSH, with our granddaughter. We all had a great time and the drove 15 miles to have lunch at the beaches.

Gargoyle and cat.

This little gargoyle, without wings due to a clumsy owner, has a strange attraction to cats. A lizard finally got her attention.

Future puttanesca.

These were all chopped and ready to make into a wonderful Puttanesca sauce that was served over pasta.

Kate at Delia's graduation.

This is my daughter Kate. Her daughter, Delia, was graduating from 5th grade. As you can see, she is the one of my three children who inherited the photography gene. She specializes in photographing bluegrass musicians and is very good at it.
