68/365, #177: Looking Down

This was taken from the airplane (through a dirty window!) on my way home from Florida--a view of the sunset looking down from above the clouds.

67/365, My Own Theme: White

More of the gorgeous flowers at our hotel in Florida.

66/365, #340: Turkey

Taken at Tampa's Lowry Zoo.

65/365, #234: Pink

The staircase at the Smith-Trahern Mansion in Clarksville, Tennessee, decorated for my niece's wedding.

We didn't see the ghost of Mrs. Smith that is mentioned in the link, but just maybe she enjoyed the party! ;-)

64/365, #128: Greek

This was our server at Hellas, a "Famous Greek" restaurant in Tarpon Springs, Florida. He has a great sense of humor!

63/365, #172: Lines

Lots of lines in this photo of a replica of HMS Bounty docked at The Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida. The ship was used in the 1962 MGM movie starring Marlon Brando and also Disney's Pirates of the Carribean.

62/365, #311: Sunset

This "pirate ship" is one that does sunset tours in Clearwater Beach. I had to wait a few minutes to get this shot just as it passed the setting sun.

61/365, My Own Theme: Float


This pelican floated around in circles for several minutes before flying away!

A Southern Bald Eagle, taken at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo.

57/365, #227: Past Its Prime

I'm in Florida this week for a conference. I met up with some photo/scrapbooking friends over the weekend and we went to the zoo at Tampa and then Tarpon Springs. This boat was abandoned several years ago and is now past its prime. (I had this post titled abandoned but realized I'd already used that theme!)

56/365, #103: Flowers

Flowers and the rings!

55/365, #334: Toys



Toys--on a cake! My niece got married last weekend and chose Bride Barbie and GI Joe as a cake topper. Her husband is in the Army.

I got the fun job of getting them to stay on the cake!

Signs of spring after a long winter!

51/365, #281: Bokeh



It's a beautiful spring-like day and things are starting to turn green--a very welcome change. I was excited about the nice round bokeh I got when shooting this rose bush budding out!
