Reflections of Destin

It has taken me an entire week to find the time to post photos from our Easter trip to Destin, FLA, but better late than never, or so the saying goes.

The waters in Destin are fairly calm, and range from deep blue to aquamarine to sea foam green.

There are powdery white sandy beaches and sailboats dotting the horizon. I saw not a drop of seaweed. The conditions truly are idyllic.

Arriving in early spring, we got to experience pollen season at its height. But itchy eyes and runny noses are a small price to pay for gorgeous flowers in bloom.
Sunset at the harbor: sure dinner wasn't so delightful ($10 seafood gumbo lacking any promised meat), but the view made it worth every moment.

The water was so frigid that I only got in the ocean to potty. Sorry to disappoint. hehe
