Palm Beach/West Palm Beach sky line 11/28/2009

David, Barbara, and myself spent a portion of the this gorgeous day in the downtown area of West palm beach and in Palm Beach. The skyline shots were taken from the new floating docks along Flagler.




This an extremely complicated cross-way. Where is the brail?

The shot of the guy riding this bike did not come out :(

Grassey Waters Preserve & Apoxee Urban Wilderness Park 11/26/2009

While David and Liz were watching the Macy's Thanksgivings Day festivities, Scott and I schlepped through Grassy Waters and Apoxee Park. It was a beautiful day that was in the low 70's, with a slight overcast, and with a mild breeze. Everything was green from the needed rains that we received yesterday. Being that we did not arrive at the parks until after 10 AM, we did not see many critters. It was a peaceful outing and I really enjoyed the quietness that allowed me to enjoy the simple sounds of the breeze singing the trees.

Coral Cove Park 10/09/2009

Today we snorkeled the shoreline of Coral Cove Park. It was fabulous because only a few people were at the park and the water was relatively clear. We saw a variety of fish. We met the boss, a 4' Barracuda, that followed us for a few minutes. It was another relaxing day!

Crabbing 10/05/2009

This afternoon, Debbie invited Liz, David, and myself to assist her in setting some crab traps. Being that I am always open to new things, I decided to add this to my list of experiences. Debbie placed pig feet in each of her 6 traps. We loaded the traps onto her pontoon and were off to place them in sea grass for harvesting. We simply tossed them into the water with their painted bouey's tied to a rope (for identifying).

This adventure also landed us at Beer Can Island, where the locals go to lounge in the shallow waters. It was a fun and a relaxing afternoon! Did I mention that it was stress free? Ah, the perks of being on vacation!
