My husband and I visited St Petersburg, Florida last weekend.  We are not your typical tourists.  While others are basking in the sunshine or frolicking in the surf, we go in search of nature – seashells, birds and shade.  We found respite and red dragonflies along the quiet ponds of Bradenton’s Botanical Park, got up-close-and-personal with owls, pelicans and herons at the famed Seabird Sanctuary, stopped for some yummy seafood at Crabby Bill’s and enjoyed the hijinks of egrets on Pass-a-Grille Pier.  All-in-all, a lovely trip. The Gulf waters were especially pretty, with bright blue sky and wispy clouds lending a lovely background to my pictures.
