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.
