    Oh la la!  Just found out this tread! Do you mind if I join?

    My hubby is presently in Siesta Key FL.  I was suppose to be with him, but a pneumonia kept me home.  He is calling me every night, and tell me the birds, the waves, and the beach walk he is doing.  Being there a couple of year ago, I can imagine Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota, Turtle Beach. 

    This year we were suppose to go to treasure Island, I had planned taking the bus from Siesta Key an go to Anna Island, I wanted to see also Sanibel.  Well, maybe next year. 

    I LOOOOVE beach and snorleling, I love take pict of beaches and I have quite a bit to share (beaches from Cuba, Mexico, North Carolina, and FL).

    I'm trying to figure how I can post a pict. Looking for the "URL" ...

    While I found it I will look at yours a little bit everyday!  If you don't mind!

    Mum. I thought that 'single' coconut would make ya smile.

    LOL.

    I chose those flops to flip for Shell, but knew that the image would make ya laugh.

    You try to explain it to our newbies, won't ya?

    LOL.

    I need two coconuts for my beach adventures.

    LOL.

    Thanks mum.

    As they say, a pictures worth a thousand words.

    Shell, I am one who had a BILAT and chose not to have any reconstruction.

    So I'm in need of TWO coconuts for any bathing suit exploits.

    Twas hoping that Mum had easy access to her coconut shot.

    VOILA....................

    So we have had our fair share of coconut conversations on this thread.

    I'd love to, but my vacation budget this year took a big hit with Matt's surgery.  I think that's gonna be my only "vacation" this year, unless we travel when New baby-boo arrives.

    Faithie - would love to see the polka dot swim suit too.

    Shell, you're welcome. Come down for a visit and we'll hit the beach. It was one of our few cloudy days here that I could make it to the beach.  We've had a bunch of them this winter but not much snow..... Laughing In a couple of weeks the beaches will be crowded with "spring breakers". Glad that most of them don't come down this far and only go to to NE FL.

    Oh Samsue, They are ALL OVER Sunset Beach in my town. The cops make half their ticket budget in March. Bring it on and keep my taxes down! Of course the locals who live there hate it because the kids pee all over their bushes and throw up whereever. I live on the intracoastal and it is nice and quiet here. Here's a sunset pic from my 2nd floor balcony. Cell phone pic, quality no so hot.

    Barbara, nice shot. What about the full moon last couple of nights.... Went over the skyway and what a view. Love how the lights twinkle in the background for St Pete beach, anna maria and the others. Can't wait until it stays light longer because I go over about the time of the sunsets.... Just as the sun is setting and then get to see the afterglow... I love the afterglow...
