A Drive to the Gulf Coast of Florida “Withlacoochee Bay”

I was wondering how I could use these photos in a Good Fences post!

But if you make it to the end, you’ll see I’m in good shape.

Since it’s SO HOT here in Florida, we are enjoying a few day trips.

This is only about an hour from our house so it’s an easy drive.

Looks like a lot of people put their boats in the water today!

And it’s always beautiful! We even saw some dolphins in the water but I didn’t get any good photos of them. Every time I clicked a photo, they went back down!

Oh, and did I mention a ‘good fence’?

This was on our way out to Withlacoochee Bay.

So I'm joining Tex for Good Fences!

The first picture looks like you're on a deserted island! LOL! It must be cooler out on the water from the looks of all those boat trailers. I love those cute shops they have in out of the way places. That one looks really interesting! Great fence picture too.

Diane, I really enjoy your posts. They are always short, not too long, interesting yet lovely pictures, and positive in many ways. I try to do the same - sometimes I'll do a post that's a little longer, but most of the time, it's short and sweet.
I appreciate your posts very much. Just wanted to tell you that.

love, ~Sheri

I know just what you mean about the photographing of dolphins!! They tend to be sneaky!!

Loved this outing Diane.

Hi Diane! Oh, what lovely snaps! When in Florida, you must have flamingos! :) Thanks for popping in to see me and I don't have the sense God gave me. Instead of growing more mature I seem to be slipping back into my childhood! ;)
Be a sweetie,
