a lovely view

This is De Soto National Memorial, in Bradenton Florida. We used to live very near this park and would go for walks there quite often. Now we live on the Braden River - which can't be beat! But we still go into town about twice a week to see mom and visit this park. It's about a 20-25 minute drive, but the walk there is so beautiful. Plus, we pick up my mom's dogs and take them for a ride in the car & a walk in the park!  The water and sky were just gorgeous today . . . .

The 2 extra pics are of Steve and my mom's dogs as well as a surprise I found today on the beach there. Do you see the tiny starfish?? ;O)
