American football has to be experienced live.
You don’t get it ………till you have been to an NFL game in the 🇺🇸
It is an event beyond sport.
It is a cultural experience.🤗
This is what America is.
Tampa bay Buccaneer’s v the 49’ers.
November 2024.
Seated way up where the Blimp flies!
Beer, popcorn, hot dogs, in searing heat 🌞
Crowd watching….the passion
A day to remember ☝️
These guys are patient 🤗
Wait for it…..
Limpkin wading birds, just lovely to watch
Turtle 🐢 on far bank.
Hard to stop these as they quickly vanish into the water if they sense you near.
50 feet away is as close as you get
What you 👀 at ?
Who you 👀 at? 🐊
Heron’s Rest
We are just enjoying the afternoon sunshine, Ian is fishing and this guy comes calling 🙂
Think he is focused on Ian’s
potential catch🐟
There is something about local Live music 🎶
Florida bar, biker bar and grille next to a Harley Davidson site.
This is one of those local places you find yourself people watching.👀
Just watching ………
Floridian crackers, bikers, lady bikers, ex bikers, and others like us enjoying the atmosphere of a warm, balmy Florida Sunday evening.
The band here were playing covers from a wide spectrum of bands, Beatles, Stones, etc.
Then they launched into Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably numb’
It was just a stunning cover.
(This video does to do it justice and I speak as someone who has seen Pink Floyd live)
Here is my poor video snapshot.
Then to end the set Lynyrd skynerd’s ‘Freebird’
Wow, great cover guys…..👌
‘Support local live music’
🎵😃
They are out there🐊
Just keep watching the water, and hopefully you will see one sliding by.
Late afternoon, early evening.
This is a youngster🐊
So good to see life returning to normal after the storm for these Sparrows 🤗🐦⬛
Ocean road trip🌊
If you fancy a day at the beach.🏖️
There is the main Englewood beach, access from Beach road over the bridge to Manasota key.
If you fancy a road trip as well, take the road north to Blind Pass beach.
Less crowded too!
But you also get to drive along the ocean road.☀️
