After breakfast, we attempted to visit the beach; however, due to starting out late on a holiday (Memorial Day), we could not find any legal paring spots. We decided to drive along the beach and stop for spots that offer a quick shot of its beauty. It was a gorgeous day in the low 80’s and the humidity has dropped from the front that is passing through the state.

Hi Joe
So many photos. I shall have to upgrade to broadband. Downloading lots of photos is such a pain for me.
Nice warm day at the beach, obviously. Air Temp 88*F does not surprise me, but water temp of 80*F does. Seems really hot, to me.
Nice photos of the flowers and Dragon Flies. Aren't Passion Flowers bizarrely beautiful?
I take it the car is new. Very nice.
Cheers

Broadband or cable is a must!
The water is warm in this part of the world any more. I went swimming yesterday and it was pleasant and refreshing.
I have that same Passion Flower on my fence: Purple Passion Flower. This variety does not produce fruit.
I bought the car last October. I traded in my SUV because I have wanted a convertible for years; however, I do miss my SUV, as I have has three of them. Sadly, Toyota has discontinued this model.
We have a local Passionfruit - not as pretty as yours;

Also the lovely pink-flowered Banana Passionfruit is a round here, but it is a weed, and smothers entire trees. Beautiful flowers, but a bast*ard of a plant, unfortunately.
Cheers
The fern on the tree on your log looks like what we call the resurrection fern. The orchid is beautiful!
We also have our share of annoying plants; however, most of them are not endogenous to Florida.
