More This and That from Florida!

This is the last set of our Feb./March 2011 trip to Florida.

We went back down in April for my daughter Kim's wedding....

but we didn't get to do any sightseeing then!

So, sit back and enjoy!

I am still smitten with HIM:

What are you waiting for?  Here is YOUR chair!:

One more shot of the lovely coot ducks we saw:

Looking south down Madeira Beach at dusk:

Colorful flowers were such a treat to see in February:

That wonderful egret with the green around his eyes that visited  us on the causeway!:

Palms!!:

Ruh-roe.

This sign kinda freaked me out!

(But thankfully, we didn't see any):

Some of my FAVORITE tropical birds: Pelicans!!:

Every night we would go down to the ocean to catch sunsets!:

All of them were breathtaking:

Sigh!:

It may be a few years before we return to that area of Florida again...

my daughter and husband and grandbaby are moving back to Michigan!! SQUEE!!

(Can you tell I am one happy grandma?)

I will miss going there, but hey, we can always go on a trip together back down next time!!

Next up on my blog? My Savannah, Georgia photos!! Stay tuned!!!

This and That from Florida

Today, I have a mix of random photos I took on our Feb./March trip to Florida.

Put your sunglasses and flip flops on and make a Marguerita and join me, won't  you?

This guy joined us at our hotel on the causeway almost every morning:

Ever seen a one-eyed alligator before?

No??

Well, now you have!:

They always look like they are smiling at you....

I know WHY....

They are sizing you up for a tasty lunch!:

If you notice enough, these guys are everywhere!:

Looking north at Madeira Beach at dusk:

A beautiful coot duck:

The bridge on the way to Brandenton:

A brown and white ibis:
