2400 Year Old Sacred Cat Rug
Visited Villa Zorayda today which was beautiful but unfortunately doesn’t allow photography. They have an Egyptian sacred cat rug from 2400 years ago – possibly the world’s oldest rug. Not only is it incredible shape (some of ours are in far worse shape) but it has a great cat image and is made of cat hair. Great place to wander around in for an hour or two.

Heart of St. Augustine 100 Years Ago
St. Augustine Pics five year anniversary week continues. I stitched today’s shot from five dry plate negatives and then created an interactive image that will allow you to explore the details of life then.
The original images are listed as being between 1900 and 1915, originally published by the Detroit Publishing Co. I found the pictures at the Library of Congress.
Five Years
Five years ago today was the first post here at St. Augustine Pics. The primary goal for the site was to spend more time exploring the town and using my camera more. In that first post I mentioned hoping to share it with visitors. The graphic below shares the successful highlights.
These numbers exclude some of the 1,330 facebook fans who enjoy the convenience of seeing the pics only there. Also the first month or so I hadn’t set up analytics so it’s excluded. Amazing. Lots of love. (And one piece of hate mail, ha ha)
I’m still discovering plenty of new things so unless it becomes work I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
Stay tuned, I’m hoping to celebrate all week. Partially because this snuck up on me and I haven’t done anything for it, ha ha. And thank you for visiting. 5,663 of you have visited the site over 200 times. That really is incredible to me.
