The sun has set on Lido Beach. Another beautiful day here in Sarasota, FL.
Don't know this guy, just another dude enjoying a walk on the beach.
Yoder's Forever
The best damn peanut butter cream pie in the world! I always look forward to going to Yoder's when visiting Sarasota, FL, just look at these pie's. They serve other fine food but it's the pie that keeps me coming back.
Earlier in the day we went to Myakka State Park, it's Florida's oldest and largest state park. The park is about a 1/2 hour just east of Sarasota. At the park, they have a canopy walkway and tower on a nature trail. You climb a short 35' tower, cross a suspension bridge and than up the taller tower to a height of 74'. From the tall tower you have a wonderful view of the park and a close view of all the vegetation.
Here are some of the photos I took today in the park. We'll be fishing later tonight. DT
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Sunset on Lido Beach tonight. I just love walking the beach looking for sand dollars and other beautiful shells. My feet are sore and I'm pooped. Here are a few more pic's shot with my G9.
More tomorrow for sure!
Gone Fishing
We're in Sarasota, FL. It's great being on vacation! We bought some fishing poles at Kmart, rather than renting for the week, much cheaper in the long run.
Debbie was the big winner, she caught 5 of the eight, I got 2 and Chris 1. What a great day. Here's Chris on the bridge fishing, the new Ringling bridge in the background.
Below is the new Ringling bridge below. This bridge replaces an older draw bridge that was in place for years.
We also managed to provide a fish for a local bird waiting for a kind soul, I'm such a sucker. I'm having fun!
The Ratz Pak
Warning! This post has nothing to do about photography and everything about small pocket pets.
Do you have or do you know someone with a pet rat or some other pocket pet? My son Chris has two of them, Sky & KoKo.
My wife Debbie has come up with a wonderful product for owners of pet rats or other pocket pets such as hamsters, mice, guinea pigs and gerbils. Her product is called "The Ratz Pak"
These are clever carriers that are slung over your shoulder for hands-free carrying, they come in all sorts of colors and patterns. If you or someone you know has a pocket pet, have a look at the Ratz Pak.
Florida Bound
Today I'll be leaving for Florida for a short vacation with my family. We'll be on the gulf coast in the city of Sarasota. I always enjoy visiting Sarasota, they have wonderful beaches for shell collecting and some pretty good fishing as well.
I'm taking my trusty Canon G9 with me, no sense taking all the other gear while on vacation. I'll try to post while away, show you some of the sites and share what ever comes to mind. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
