This past weekend was filled with fun and diversion from my normal routine. I spent a lovely day with a friend in Tarpon Springs eating Greek food, playing pool and hitting the vintage shops. I also got in some photography on Saturday. My husband and I headed out to Sand Key, FL and surrounding beaches to soak up a little sunshine and explore beach condos. While we were trekking about, these hot pink flowers really caught my eye. They were ground hugging beauties. He immediately identified them as “ice plants” which I had never seen in the South before. He said they grow like wild up in California where he is from. In 45 years this is my first ice plant spotting. Wow! The color is fantastic (unaltered…straight from my Nikon D7000). I find I actually “see” more when I carry my macro lens with me. There really is so much beauty in our world. 🙂
