In early November Brett and I went for a walk along the waterfront near downtown St. Pete.
The old historic pink hotel (Vinoy) looked pretty against the blue sky as we passed by. Built in 1929, the hotel was taken over by the Army during WW2 and was used for training. It has been said that it is haunted.
Walking past the boats at the municipal marina.
As we walked out along the pier this sailboat came close to us. It swerved at the last minute.
Pelicans were diving along the pier.
The old pier pilings are still in the water and the pelicans like to sit on them. The inverted pyramid building and the pier were torn down in 2015 and the new pier was completed in 2020. You can read my post about the old and new pier here.
Watching the pelicans diving under the pier. The bait fish are plentiful under the pier so the pelicans are constantly diving around it.
Taking a break after climbing the back stairs of the pier building.
The view of St. Pete from the top floor.
Bees buzzing on the goldenrod that was blooming along the pier.
The orchid trees in the parking area were in full bloom.
