Snapshots

As you start down the path to the beach, there are numerous sea grapes growing. I love the roundness of the leaves, and the clusters of grapes.

I wish I had some sea grapes around my yard, they can grow into quite an impressive tree with a nice trunk!

There's a huge palm tree in the courtyard of the beach club, and we had a great view of it from our balcony!

I love palm trees! They are the essence of tropical Florida to me, and there are so many varieties!

We enjoyed an edible fruit arrangement, an anniversary gift from one of our customers.

This was so refreshing, and the perfect accompaniment to our lobster tails, and shrimp with angel hair pasta. I didn't get a picture of our food, because I dove in before I thought about it! What's in the goblet? It looks like a nice blush, but it's Sparkling Cranberry Juice :D

Hubby spent a few hours drowning some bait...

Here he comes with his Slammer after casting out. He didn't catch anything, except maybe a few zzzzz's while waiting for a bite.

This is my favorite picture of me at the beach

or is it this one?

I really like both of these.

There are murals on the walls around the hotel, and in the rooms.

This one was a few steps from our room.

Early morning on the beach...

hmmmm what did the tide bring in? I bet there's a nice shell under the seaweed!

I spy my hubby with a shirt full of shells!

Where is his shelling bag? Oh yeah, we filled it already!

We always set up the tripod for pictures before we leave, except for this last time. Due to possibly over use, our tripod gave up the ghost. Unfortunately it died on this trip. What an unfortunate time for it to decide 6 years of use was enough.

We tried our best to get a decent pic of the two of us by setting the camera on top of our canopy chairs. Too bad it didn't work as well as we expected....

I'm going to have to crop out the canopy. I'll get another photo op the next time we hit the beach, and I'm bringing a new tripod!

One of the reasons I love the Gulf so much is the beautiful sunsets.

There is nothing in the world like watching the sun drop into the ocean.

I'm headed back to my creation zone now, I hope you enjoyed the trip :)

Love,
Del
