Still on the Gulf Coast

Do you believe?

Pines & Palms.

One of many homes on stilts.

Highway 98, driving north.

A beautiful day on the beach.  Panama City, FL

Peaceful.

Dune grass.

Another end to a wonderful day.

Heading North along the Gulf Coast

Lake Manatee State Park, Florida

Where there is water, there are signs.

Beautiful berries; what are they?

Gopher tortuous.

Do not feed; huh!

Experience hurricane winds, wow!

Soft sand and warm water.

Warm water and soft sand.

How cute is this!

Leaving Little Manatee River State Park.

Last Day on the Keys

Key West Cemetery has quite a history.  Because of the hurricanes, they are buried above ground, encased in concrete.

 A few of many colorful grave stones.

 I believe Steve had many friends.

 This homeowner wants to be heard.

 Sloppy Joe's on Saturday afternoon.  Hemingway wet his whistle here.

 Dinner at the end of the day.  Catch of the day & chips.  Yum

 We throw food out to the fish; the pelicans wait for the fish to feed.  Then gulp.

Good bye Key West; see you next year.

Marathon, Florida

 Turtle Bench.

 Meet Rufis.

 This little one made us wait for him to cross.

 Turkey Vultures resting.

 Awwwwwwww...the sun worshiper.

 Yum, Greek Salad.

Key West, Florida

Super Boat races.  Sadly 3 racers died while racing earlier in the week.

Mallory Square

One of 180 boats on the Poker Run; from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West.

Yes, the smallest Bar.

Young Sailor on Friday Night leave.

More money!

What are you reading Ed?

He misses his mom.

Lotsa money.

They are South.

Must be roller hockey.

Funky place to eat.

Lobster BLT, with fried green tomatoes.  Oh, and beer.

Can't get enough sunsets.

Nope.

Another day in "Paradise"

 We had an educational tour of the hospital.  (The hospital is non profit)

 This little one has a neurological problem; they call him Spinner.  He was found floating and spinning.  He will be a permanent resident.  I was very impressed with this hospital.  The more donations, the more care they can provide.

 This one is in the tidal pool.

 Our Yacht forgot where we are parked.

 Let the show begin!

 Find the bird.

 My favorite bird.  I can watch them dive bomb all day.

Voila.
