This area, Florida's Panhandle, has special meaning for me because it's where my parents lived out the rest of their days. They moved here to escape the congestion of SE Florida and my brothers and I and our families have some great memories from here. It's hard to be here knowing that there will be no more family gatherings with the kids, grandma and grandpa but it is good to remember.
So, my day started out pretty low key. I slept in then visited with my uncle and finally headed out exploring in the early afternoon. Between Carrabelle where I stayed and Apalachicola there isn't much except coastal residences until you get to Eastpoint. What was presumably a tiny thriving fishing village seems all dried up and on the verge of blowing away. Sad to see so much of this these days but these people have been fishing and oyster gathering for generations and perhaps they'll survive this round too.
On the way home with just barely enough light I shot this boat. The perfect end to a great day.

It's so easy to forget, not only how beautiful the world is, but how beautiful a place down the road might be. Your photos make me excited to wander!
I love that sunset picture! Hope we can visit again soon :)
Brounley, will we be too old to wander after we get Cary through college? Or will we just be too worn out to wander very far?
