Next to our dock an osprey spent a leisurely afternoon shredding a fish and fending off the occasional crow or sea gull. He started calling (in the high pitched, irritating tone) to another osprey who came over briefly to check out his possible nesting site. It must have been sub-par - or maybe he was, because after a few minutes she left even though he called plaintively after her.
We walked our bikes to the top of the bridge for this view of the harbor. Yes, it is a pirate ship - every tourist port in Florida has one.
Loading up the bikes we headed to Lover's Key state park, because we needed more exercise than riding on pavement gave. Sand, the perfect surface for a strenuous ride. I was fooled at first by the smooth, hard-packed sand. That disappeared a mile or so into the wilderness where soft sand was the norm.
Sharing the path:
OK, I admit it was scenic:
Our wandering ways end on Friday. We have rented a furnished 2 bedroom condo for the next year. It is on the southern end of Siesta Key with everything necessary for De Anne's amusement. Small gated community with pool and a boat dock on Blind Pass and a few steps from beautiful Turtle beach.
