Beach Days Are Here!

April 6, 2009

We almost didn’t find a parking space at Pass-A-Grille Beach this past weekend. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen it. Still, though, it was a very laid-back crowd.

Great day for photographs at the beach today–clear [...]

Winter Walk on Pass-a-Grille Beach

January 26, 2009

The ice on my car windshield late last week was a sign that we would not be in for good beach weather for a while. But the early part of this week has warmed up nicely, at least during the daylight hours.
It’s always cooler at the beach because of the breeze off the water, but [...]

Pass-A-Grille Evening

July 5, 2008

Pass-A-Grille has one of my favorite beaches in Pinellas County. It has no tall buildings on the beach, and the neighborhood is usually quiet and laid-back. I took this photo from atop the jetty at the south end of the beach. The telephoto lens foreshortens everything, so the huge Don Cesar Hotel appears much closer [...]
