Wow Patty those are some awesome pictures!

Let me take the test and see if I can figure out where all of the pictures were taken:

Picture #1-Lashley Park or Gilchrist park in Punta Gorda
Picture #2-From the top of the Wyvern Hotel in Punta Gorda looking over Dean's South of the Border restaurant
Picture #3-Boca Grande lighthouse
Picture #4-steps to the Boca Grande lighthouse
Picture #5-Marina Jack's in Sarasota
Picture #6-Banyan tree out in the middle of the park at Marina Jack's
Picture #7-Sailboat at The Venice jetty's
Picture#8- Fountain at Marina Jack's again

Ok, how'd I do?

Very nice pics. What kind of camera are you using and are you using an IS lens?

Thank you. It's just a Casio 10 megapixel digital camera. No special lens. I love that little camera.

Wow Patti,

Great pictures, Awesome shots! I thought maybe all the rain was going to hamper your trip, but you certainly cannot tell by those pictures.

I just got back down here, and am looking forward to a fishing excursion! I hope I can get some good pictures too, but those are awesome! I know after looking at them, your wondering why it took you so long to figure out why you haven't lived down here earlier. :-)
