Florida's Pompano Beach






A few more photos of the recent trip to Florida.
Helps me relive it too. 
I'm just not a winter person! 

The sweet canal along a main strip in Ft. Lauderdale caught my eye. 



And wandering the neighborhood nearby where we parked, 
there were many gigantic, lush trees like this one. 




My father and Fairy Stepmother
rented a sweet little bungalow on Pompano Beach 
where I spent a good deal of time. 









We were literally just steps from the beach. 





They said the brush has grown up a bit since they were last here
but you can still see the water from the patio. 












And every morning
(when it was already 80 degrees)
I took a walk from the bungalow to the park along the beach.









The views were exquisite. 











Though I didn't get to see any nesting sea turtles
I was told it's a big deal here. 




















The last morning I got up a little earlier to catch the sunrise
over the ocean. We're so used to seeing the sunSET over the water 
on the West Coast so I had to get a few photos. 








I could definitely use a little more beach time already!






































A lovely full moon just before I left. 






Sigh. 
With the warmth, humidity and palms everywhere,
every time I stepped outside,
it felt like I was in another country. 

I didn't expect to love Florida but...
dreaming of when I can go back!
