The poles from the missing Safety Harbor fishing pier are still standing. The birds love them. The city says it will be at least a year or two before a new one is built. It was late in the morning when I was taking a walk so I converted this to black and white instead of back lit shadows with my camera. I’m thinking of framing this.

Into the sun with my phone while on my walk in mid-November.

These mangrove crabs are usually skittish and run fast under the boardwalk but this one was slow and I was able to catch him with my phone.

It’s typical to see a night heron hanging around the mangrove boardwalk early in the morning although sometimes they are napping in the mangroves.

Zooming in I could barely see Tampa across the bay under the clouds.

There was a low hanging fog across the bay looking north.

Turning around before leaving I could see the sun peaking through the overgrown mangroves.

The tide was low and I could see tons of birds out on a spit. Mostly gulls, terns and pelicans.
