The Second Set of our Trip to Florida Pictures, (other than the Wedding!)

We went to Florida

for the second time this year...

(For my daughter's wedding),

but we didn't have much time.

And,

I didn't have my favorite camera

with me due to having to fly there.

But I did have to take some photos anyway.

I mean..how couldn't I???

(I was in the tropics, for cryin' out loud!)

I was so pleased that I did.

My old trusty Panasonic Lumix

Point and Shoot camera

didn't disappoint me.

I had forgotten how I fell in love with that camera

when I first started doing photography.

It didn't disappoint me, and I had fun using it again.

A gorgeous sunset:

Let's grab those two chairs there, shall we?:

A pelican in the sunset!:

Can nature be more beautiful?:

Wait....

maybe!:

We were sitting by the pool and I spied a butterfly by the fence.

I grabbed my camera and ran off.

(My family is used to that sort of thing with me).

But, I couldn't help myself.

He was gorgeous!:

We were lucky to land a condo for a week.

It was small, but it had a balcony overlooking

the Gulf.

We watched a man one day build a huge

sand pyramid on the beach.

It had a tube inside

and at sunset they were looking through

the hole and the sunset

landed

dead on so that they could see it thru the tube.

I wondered about it, but I didn't ask them...

Now I wish I had:

My point and shoot has a zoom, which was used for this one

and I was amazed I could see as much as I could on

the boat with it:

Lovely, lovely sea grass...

Our last night at the beach:

Sigh.

This is the last set of photos of Florida

from me for a while...

I am back in the U.P. now

in the height of our spring.

It has its own unique beauty too...

I will be sharing it with you soon.
