Winter Park - the kind of winter park I could handle...

One of the main streets...

(apparently this is 300 feet from Mark's doorstep - lucky guy!)
Looking out over the water...

Ah PINK!

And more pink...

The entrance to Rollins College...

The college from the water - rough to be a student here...(you're looking at the pool!).

Greeneda Court where we enjoyed our "coffee"...

Barney's who supplied us...

Part of the courtyard...

One of the business entrances overlooking the courtyard...

A typical boy...boys will be boys...

Note the old gas lamp on the wall...

Yep, its the parking enforcement!

We parked legally and escaped her notice!

The Town of Celebration, FL

A picture perfect town...perfect enough to be charming & almost creepy at the same time...

It is super clean and very picturesque. Every front step/door, yard and business looks immaculate.
Storefronts looking towards the water...

Another row of shops...

The lamp post artwork...

Lots of electric cars w/ special parking spots..

More of the shop & palm lined streets...

The street signs...

The barber shop...

Along the waterfront...

Looking through town square towards the waterfront.

The Sunshine Bridge & the Sunset

Doesn't look like much from this angle...
But then you see a bit as you cross it...it has two huge "peaks" created by huge yellow beams...
a better pic & angle is below...

To the right is part of the old bridge which was damaged and the piers are now used for fishing as they run way out into the water...

The sunset begins...

And is reflected...

Our view spot...

Some sunset dancers...

So many warm colours...

There it goes...

And here is what the Sunshine Bridge looks like from afar...if you look closely you can see the vehicle headlights crossing...

Our vantage point...the rest stop...

I couldn't resist the colours!

Lands End (of the Peninsula) and DOLPHINS!!!

Here sat Mr Jones & his dog...his wife/lady & children sat in the SUV while he sat as you see him, making peanut butter sandwiches on the bench...

Strange.
A far more attractive auto mirror reflection than I'm used to in February/March...

Looking across the channel...

Looking at us...

And then we spotted DOLPHINS swimming along the channel beside us...

Wish I could have gotten a whole lot closer...

But this one seemed to be keeping an eye on us as it was...

Needless to say, we were ecstatic to see them!

Pass-a-Grille, FL near the tip of the Peninsula

Oh...I could live here...

where your view across the street from your condo is the beach & the ocean...

Along the street...

Can you hear it calling your name?

This beach wasn't as nice as Clearwater Bay, but neat sand...

Looks like regular sand, right...
But no...it is actually composed of fine & coarse crushed shells!

A jaunt around John's Pass near Madeira Beach, FL

Here's one of the main streets...
One of the residents...
Up on the boardwalk...

Looking off the end of the boardwalk...where we watched dolphins!!

And sailboats heading out...

and walked past the ice cream shop...

Checked out a restaurant to come back to some day...

More of the same...
