Fog & Mist

Yesterday started out being a real nice warm day,so off down towards Clearwater Beach we went. The highway down was good all the way until I turned and started to the beachside. The weather changed drastically,the fog and moist air was coming in off of the gulf,with it the temps started to diving. But on we go towards the mark that we had decided on,"the beach".

I didn't stop at Clearwater Beach we took the road on south where I saw a sign that said Sand Key Park. When we see a sign that has any kind of park on it we automatically think of "ah ha a place to walk". The park was on an island so it had a beach,I parked the car and then we went toward the water. Only we couldn't see the water at this distance. As you can see in the picture above it looks more like a snow storm than a beach in Florida.
We got out to the waters edge and here is what we saw looking up the beach. There were a few people brave enough to be out walking.

After we did a short beach walk I started home and saw this walking and bike trail so naturally I had to stop because the light bulb went off in my head,"another place we had not walked",we like to walk the place that we've not walked before.

The trail is beside the bay and as we started we saw this tugboat with the dingy at the back of it. It was anchor here,I think because it had something to do with the construction they are having on the bayside.
As we were walking I looked across the highway and saw the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Near the end of our walk is a Spanish American War Memorial.

This is not the end of the trail,but it was for us because Nancy didn't want to walk over the bridge. We had another good day.
This morning has started with the temp 41* and going to get up to 68*,cooler then yesterday but will seem warmer because the sun will be shining.
