Sometimes a body just has to get away. This week, I gratefully had a chance to head down to the Gulf Coast of Florida to our little get-away. The nice part is that it's right on the water overlooking Sarasota Bay.
Hubby had a business trip in Atlanta...and I had 3-1/2 glorious days of solitude to look forward to. What a gift!
I settled in right away, went to the store and bought food and flowers for the week.
The view from the lanai overlooking the water where I made myself some breakfast.
Then I played with my new camera and took some pictures of the birds on the water.
Later, I took a walk outside and spotted a duck couple....
along with this little guy....
and this creature who was very still....
The path I walked is like a tropical jungle.....
I stopped to smell some flowers.....
Couldn't resist this pretty jasmine vine dripping down along the entry way.
Or this lion standing guard over the impatiens...
A view of the lanai, where I spent most of my time contemplating life....
I'd love to be able to stay here forever...........
"I washed away the weeds and foam and took my seaborne treasures home."
