fishing with my buddy

Steve, the dogs & I went for a lovely walk at DeSoto Memorial, a national Park here in NW Bradenton today. It was so nice to visit the trails there again. The walk is enchanting and you end up on the beach! There is always wildlife to photograph, including this very cute couple. The beach is on the Manatee River but I really smelled the salt air there today . . . . mmmm! It must have headed in from the Gulf.

Thank you for your visits & comments on yesterday's great white egret hidden among my backyard trees, much appreciated. Tomorrow I need to get up early for a NIA JAM! This one is to benefit the homeless in our area. I'm looking forward to participating.
