Photos from the Sunshine State

I was home sick today and drafted this post for you guys. Lucky me...

These photos are actually a matter of pride. Most of them are SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) and thus have no editing. I think they turned out great.

View from the plane window. We were lucky and got to fly First Class for cheap!

Arbitrary self-portrait on plane that turned out lovely.

Almost at the airport, flying low over Tampa.

We stayed for a few nights with my great-grandparents in Homasassa Springs. This is from their backyard... sunrise.

This little guy was on the window pane. I love the blue around his eye.

Then we went to a National Park beach. It took us maybe 3-4 hours to walk to the end and back. But the birds... oh, they were AMAZING!

BEAUTIFUL beach. Nothing like the stone-and-seaweed beaches we have up here!

Adorableness.

Aww. Pelicans. I love those guys, they're so awkward when they land.

This funny-looking fellow is called an oystercatcher, I think.

*Loved* this egret. So adorable.

I wouldn't want him mad at me, though. That beak looks lethal.

Cutest. Thing. EVER.

And the shells we found were marvelous.

Purchase on Etsy here!

Some had tenants!

Rawr.

It was a lovely trip — so warm and sunny! It's grey November back North... *sigh*

Tomorrow night is opening night for our play! Things have been hectic but I hope for the best.
