I really enjoyed the holiday break. I spent time with friends, ate far too much chocolate, and did some more artsy things. I also went to a conference in Florida. The conference was pretty good, and yes, I skipped out a bit to walk on the beach and visit a couple of beautiful gardens in the area. Here are some pictures. Hope they warm those of you dealing with the cold of winter!
These first two show St. Pete Beach, right outside the hotel. I really enjoyed my long walks along the beach every day while I was there. The weather was great - high temperatures in the 70s. You know, I think I could get used to that kind of winter!
This next one was taken at Pass-a-Grille, just down the road from St. Pete Beach.
I went to a couple of Botanical Gardens in Tampa and the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. They were all beautiful! And seeing flowers in bloom at this time of year was a lovely treat.
I got a kick out of these signs (made me kind of nervous, too!!). I did see some alligators - luckily, they were sleeping and didn't seem to see me!
I've also posted some black & white pictures to my other blog (JillBlogz) - click on the link at the right if you're interested!
And now, it's back to work. It's going to take a while to get back into the routine!!
Best wishes for the new year!
