Florida Vacation

 I am linking up with   Mosaic Monday and Our World Tuesday

On April 3,  hubby and I started our Florida vacation. We flew to Tampa with my hubby's cousin to join him with his condo search. We also were able to visit with my hubby's sister who is now a snow bird living near Tampa part of the year. These are some scenes from our Tampa Bay hotel and from my SIL's new neighborhood.


At the beginning of our Florida vacation we stayed at the Best Western Bay Harbor hotel, we had a great room with a balcony over looking the bay. I guess you know me by now and that I had a great time checking out the birds from our balcony. It was fun watching the pelicans dive for food right from our room, also seen were the Great Blue Heron, Laughing Gulls, ducks and some shorebirds.


A view of Tampa Bay from our balcony.


A few Brown Pelicans in the Tampa Bay.



I believe there was a nightclub across the water from our hotel, I thought the reflections were pretty at night.


The mosaic above included birds seen at the wetlands in my SIL's neighborhood. I would love to live in one of the houses facing these wetlands.


Above, is a cool scene for a birder. a Belted Kingfisher and a Sandhill Crane in the same shot.


I saw around 5 Sandhill Cranes walking around the wetlands and golf course in my SIL's neighborhood. I hope the birds were safe with the golf balls flying around.

This is just the start of my vacation, we started off with some real estate hunting and then we parted ways with hubby's cousin and continued our vacation down Florida's gulf coast.

Thanks for stopping by my post and I always appreciate your comments.
