Tampa Skyline  (click on photo for larger view)

Welcome to Tampa, Florida located in the middle of the state.  The river that runs through the downtown area is the Hillsborough River, this river runs into Tampa Bay, and finally the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida Swamp 

Many of the Florida Parks include settings like this one, taking you back in time when Florida was not inhabited with so many people.

Chestnut Park

The green algae sets this photo into one of its own.  It's very seldom one gets to see such a beautiful area.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge

This month has been a real problem with weather.  The haze was so bad that you could hardly make the bridge out.  Normally it's very clear, but for the last month.  First hurricanes, and now unbearable humidity and heat.

A view of Tampa from across the Bay.  From a distance Tampa has always been one of my favorite shots, but only from a distance.

Florida Wildlife

Walking along the banks of the many parks located in Pinellas County will always be shared with the Florida Wildlife which seems to be everywhere.  You will also share the unbearable humidity and heat this summer.

On Lake Tarpon this guy was drying out after diving for his lunch.

Sawgrass Park

This Florida Park, like many of them, has a viewing tower that helps to get some really nice shots of the surrounding area..

Sunshine Skyway Bridge

Up and over the Skyway Bridge.  Not a bad shot considering the taken while driving and insufferable haze.  This is going South on I-275 into Manatee County and Bradenton.  Really a great drive with piers on both sides of the North and South ends of the Skyway Bridge.
