On to Zoo Atlanta and baby Po, his momma and brother. B

Momma and Baby Po (now 100 lbs)








Ahh, my place "in the trees" with my cane-and man, can this bear put away some cane!


ETC., from FLA

Beach Buddies

Willy's, another great day bar and home to a  great cheeseburger!
(Note:  Happy Hour ends at 11 A.M.!)

Outside the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg.

Yard Art.


What a town!  (Clearwater)

Pool Buddy


Pool???



Dinner at the condo.  Probably crab cakes this evening.

Wading from the beach.

Ahhh, sunset over the Gulf!

The SunshineS Skyway Bridge

Bridge connects Pinellas County with Braedenton,  Sarasota, etc.


A little scary to drive over, such an open space over the water, but it ain't #9!



4.1 Miles.  A little irritated that there is no bike/pedestrian lane so I could not ride across!



Cool.  They made fishing piers on either end from the old bridge!

The Bamboo Beach Bar, formerly the Bamboo Beer Garden, Treasure Island, Florida

Always a "must" stop at John's Pass.  Used to be the Bamboo Beer Garden. The new owners have cleaned it up a lot, so it has lost some of it's former "charm", if you'd call it that, but still a great place to go have a cold beer-as long as you are not looking for a craft beer!  
"Jasmine" is the new bar dog,






White Caps on the Gulf of Mexico

 Not often you see white caps on the Gulf unless there is a storm out there. 
It was much fun to play in the waves like this!

 Look closely-two girls, walking along the  surf, both clutching their cell phones!  Did the forget they were at the beach???




And what the "wade" to the beach looks like after a torrential downpour! 

A Great Birthday spent in FLA!

Great Seats!! Six rows back along the third base line!  Thanks, Jackie!


Tropicanna Field.  Always 72 degrees, never any rain or hot sun!
People actually stopped and faced the music during the national anthem.  Proud of 'em!

 Even Elvis was there!



 Peg's in Gulfport after the game for pizza and beer from Cigar City Brewery in Tampa.  Thanks for the recommendation, Chuckles!

A sign of the times in Asheville, but not in Gulfport!
