Sarasota Weekend

We drove over to Sarasota to see Dan and Jaclyn Friday night.  They came for pizza dinner.  I woke early Saturday and took the dogs for a walk.  This is a photo of Sarasota Bay at about 7:30 a.m.

Sarasota Bay

On Saturday afternoon Peter and I drove to Nokomis, just South of Sarasota.  We drove around the area and then had dinner under the Tiki Hut  at Spanish Point Restaurant and Pub.  It rained on and off during dinner, but there was a nice breeze and we watched a lot of jumping fish action.  Then, just before the check arrived at the table, a pod of Dolphin swam though Blackburn Bay in front of the restaurant. I ran out onto the dock to see them up close and try for a photo.  Of course, no luck with the photo, but I did see the dolphin and then up in the sky a Pink Flamingo flew by!  That was the  first time I have ever spotted a Flamingo in the wild.  Very cool to witness a wild Pink Flamingo! Unbelievable!
