Trip to Florida: Part Two


Let's continue today with some more random
Florida pictures...
because I know everyone is in a winter slump up north yet!




A prickly cactus just laying beside a road:










A gorgeous flower we saw when we went on a walk.
Is this a Camilia?  Begonia?  Anyone???:








Seagulls chillin' by the waves:









Saw this Dad and his little girl as he was giving her loving surfing lessons:









Madeira Beach around dusk. Those two chairs are calling me today, how about you?:










A longer shot of the same spot:








Seagulls admiring the sunset:









Another chair awaits you!:








Lovely Hibiscus!:


More  posts are coming of some more Florida
and even of some Savannah....
stay tuned!!

  4. Joan, My favorite photo is of the seagulls admiring the sunset! However, they are probably thinking, 'Well Crap, now who will feed us?'
    I think your flower is a camilla...the leaves don't look like a begonia, but what do I know"?

  6. Joan, I am so missing the beach, the roar of the surf and the wonderful sunsets. Your pix are wonderful especially the sunset.

    We are back in Southern Michigan, cold and snow covered, but I know that Spring is coming soon.

  20. I can hear those chairs calling my name! Beautiful flowers, I agree with the camellia also.

    Savannah, I'm looking forward to those. When I lived in GA I drove over to Savannah every time I could get away for the weekend. Hope you had fresh shrimp on the river front. Or maybe a walk in Bonaventure cemetery?
