Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, FL


We had a great time last night. Good sailing friends Ted and Linda Seefeldt and Pete and Pam Peters joined us here at Fort De Soto park. We got to eat good BBQ ribs and tell sailing stories. As the sun set in the west we saluted the day with the conch horn.

I got the group together for a photo, but the exposure seemed dark. Aren’t digital cameras great? You can see these things while you can still do something about it.
















I figured it was because the open sky was in the background, so I decided to take the shot again facing the other direction. That did not help, still too dark.
















So, I got the flash in the act and it seems like we finally got a good group shot. Good thing the iPhone4 now has a flash. 
















Barbara has a birthday next month so we will get her a replacement camera so she can take over the photo chores again. She has issues with my picture taking.

The coffee maker woke us up this morning. Well, it woke Jocelyn up this morning since it was right next to where she is sleeping. We have seniority and claimed the bedroom. She gets the sofa.

The girls spent the morning helping Jocelyn learn to ride a two-wheeler, and after lunch we set out to explore the park. We saw several dolphins from the fishing pier and the pelicans were having a field day catching the bait fish that were trying to hide under the pier. The rest of the afternoon was spent at the beach with the girls hunting shells and me snoozing in the shade of a tree.
















Life is good!
