This is the end of Old Tampa Bay at the Oldsmar Bridge where the channel from Lake Tarpon feeds into Old Tampa Bay.  You can see the old railroad tracks running across the Bay.

Just taking it Easy

Beside a small lake this female was just setting their at early morning enjoying the moment.  There are times you envy the animals and their simplicity of life.

Snapping a shot of the neighbors flower.  I like this with the fly on the left peddle.

Old Tampa Bay with the power lines running across the bay to the power plant.  The weather has not been great this year, and the overcast here gives a depressing feel.
