A Week Before Christmas

Photo worthy sights on our way to the beach.

This little guy is sporting an unusual pattern.

 

Parasailing is one way to get up in this world.

Good morning to you pretty thing!



Sleeping in is allowed here.  Take your time. 

A sandman who looks an awful lot like a snowman.

It's hard to resist singing along so instead I joined in.  "We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year."

This pair is people watching.  I wonder what they think?

Cute, aren't they?

A Christmas ferris wheel, why not!!

All aboard!!!!

I hope you're all well as you prepare for Christmas.  Enjoy the beauty and spirit of the season.

Come See SK

We're addicted to SK sunsets.  You'll see that in the next few moments.

Thank God for cameras.

Lon likes our rental car, a Honda Civic.

I can't stop taking sunset pictures. 

The colors yesterday were amazing; every shade of yellow, orange and pink showed up.

Long after the sun set, we watched the panoramic sky.

Here's Jared, returning from fishing from the Gulf shoreline.

These critters are abundant but elusive.

Here's Jared again. 

The water is a comfortable temperature for wading.  Jared was in up to his waist while fishing but wetting my feet was as far as I got.

The red foliage is pretty against the green and blue.

I don't start out planning to put this many photos on my blog posts but it's hard to omit any.

The pinks were so, so pretty.  I think of cotton candy.

This gathering of birds is "in the pink."

A "regular" on the beach.

It's fun to watch these fellows swim under water along the water's edge.



I trust you've enjoyed seeing what we've seen on Siesta Key.  Come back tomorrow or the next day for more.

 

Merry Christmas from SK!!

 

 

 

All is well on SK.  We're enjoying the views of the Gulf and the Christmas decorations along the entrance to the condo complex.  It's all lovely.

Look Out Gulf Waters...Here We Come.

                                              Hurry up Friday!

Friday's Birds

I love the shade of red this fellow is sporting.

At 1:00 this afternoon when I took these photos, it looked like Grand Central Station at our feeders. 

Sometimes we have to stand on our head to get what we want.

I detect the slightest shade of yellow on this lunch guest.

This sparrow was an "eat and run" visitor.



It's time to put a fresh cake of suet in the wire holder since "somebody" has gobbled it all up.

Isn't it nice and relaxing to observe birds up close and personal?  I love the zoom capabilities of cameras. 

 

Yay! It was fun to see a chickadee today.  They're just plain cute.

I hope you enjoyed today's pictures.  Until next time, enjoy whatever you do.
