I don’t know that I ever thought of setting sail in a pirate ship as an Easter activity, but it sure turned out to be a fun day. The weather was gorgeous and the company was the best. John’s Pass is a fun place to visit and I wandered until it was time to board the boat. Oops, ship.
I knew these keyhole shapes in the bridge abutments were there.They give a nice frame for your picture.I watched this sailboat coming in and tried, and failed, to get a shot of the drawbridge opening to let it pass.I stopped to take this picture and hoped that that balcony on the left would give me a view of the draw bridge, but it didn’t.Normally sailing would seem to me to be such a peaceful way to spend the day, but those jet skis took care of that notion.Then I had to run because I saw that people were boarding the ship. Not the Dolphin Quest, the pirate ship behind it. I liked this view because I’ve been here for night photography and loved the rigging and flags when the string of lights is lit.Handsome pirates. I have grandchildren older than they are.We were in view of land the whole trip.When I took this shot a lady beside me nodded knowingly and said that she had taken that shot too. LOL.My new friend and nominee for ‘best costume’ of the day!I was so happy to see that I’d gotten a dolphin shot, then I saw that his fin is torn and half is drooping.And then were were back, and hungry. It was time to visit the Friendly Fisherman.I had a discussion of F-stops with my grandson, I hope he sees this shot.As I was eating my grouper tacos, YUM, I kept taking pictures of the various birds that perched on that post, putting themselves into a perfect frame. A pelican had stayed there so long that someone asked if it was real.I guess the pelican was king of the castle because the egret took no chances, it got itself out of the way.
What a fun way to spend the day with family and friends. And nobody had to walk the plank…
Living on the Nature Coast of Florida provides constant photo ops, and I need an outlet to share what I see. And sometimes what I think...
