Changing Tides

Laughing Gulls

These are some of my regular breakfast companions.

Green Heron

Snowy Egret

We kayaked from the Tides out into the Inter Costal Waterway to a little island to swim.

Renee got some new snorkeling equipment

 and we bought shortie wet suits so we could swim

 when the water was a little too cool.

Madeira Beach from the bridge at John's Pass.

Beautiful vine decorating the doorway to our cottage.

Shells I collected on our kayak trip.

I bought this orchid at the Wagon Wheel Flea Market

 in St. Petersberg for $6.00.  Cheap!

The local pirate ship out of John's Pass ... looks like fun!

Treasure Island Weekly Market

We rode our bikes to Treasure Island

 and stopped for a little barbecued ribs for lunch.

Yummy!

Anita ate some waffles, too.

Snorkeling in the Keys

A few more shots of our snorkel trip in the keys. We had a lot of laughs.

Lightning Whelk egg case ...... very weird.

Anita caught a beautiful Yellow Tailed Snapper.

Anita also caught two Grunts.
