Skyway Bridge

Skyway Bridge from the fishing pier
Photos.

I've written about the Skyway Bridge before. The weather was a little cooler this year, and there weren't very many fishermen/women on the pier. Bob saw a couple of dolphins fishing  but I missed them. Not much fishing action either. After missing an amberjack, one volatile fisherman swore loudly using many creative and entertaining versions of the f-word. We laughed, but I was glad we didn't have kids with us.

The bird in the middle is a big squawker
Beside our vehicle, an older guy was fishing for bait. He attracted a couple of egrets but did not share his catch with the birds. He kept to himself, despite Bob's attempts to catch his eye and engage in conversation.

As always, the bridge was lovely and gold. The birds on the other side of the pier fished in the shallow water. More perfect spring weather.

About Me

My photo
The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
