crystal beach florida: Mating Game? Two Red-Headed Woodpeckers On The Pinellas Trail - 08/18/13 11:41 PM
Is this the Mating Game? These two Red-headed Woodpeckers seem to be doing some type of mating ritual on the side of the Pinellas Trail in Crystal Beach Florida.
 
While out for our morning walk here in Crystal Beach Florida, we spotted these two Red-headed Woodpeckers and I was glad that my iPhone was along so I could shoot this short video of what was taking place! You never know what you are going to see, so always have your camera ready when out and about!

Indeed, any day on the water is a good day and we have plenty of good days down here in Crystal Beach Florida!

Yesterday I took the day off and went out on the boat with Ronnie. Naturally, he caught dinner! I relaxed and spent a little time in the water off Honeymoon Island State Park when he brought the boat close to shore for us to cool off.
Today Ronnie was back out fishing, only today his buddy Bob was with him. They caught several shark but let them go again. A few they simply cut the line since … (14 comments)

crystal beach florida: Another Beautiful Sunset Over Crystal Beach Florida - 01/05/13 10:02 PM
Yes, yesterday was indeed just another beautiful sunset over Crystal Beach Florida. 

It had been a picture perfect day, with temperatures in the low 70's and beautiful blue skies. Perfect for being out showing homes to a new client.
So naturally, we also had a picture perfect sunset. Today it should be going up to 79 degrees, so it is going to be a wonderful day to spend time in the park, taking a long walk.
Wishing everybody a fantastic Sunday!

crystal beach florida: The Whole Family Just Hanging Out..........IBIS Style! - 12/20/12 03:42 AM
The whole family just hanging out....or at least that is what it looks like to me! I saw this family of IBIS up in a tree while taking an early morning walk a few days ago and could not resist this photo opportunity!
There is nothing that I enjoy more than being out in the open air, enjoying the sunshine and blue skies. This is really a wonderful time of year down here in Florida and this family of IBIS seems to be enjoying their view over the Gulf of Mexico from this location! (In case you did not know, the … (6 comments)

crystal beach florida: Crystal Beach Florida - Right On The Shore Of The Gulf Of Mexico - 12/13/12 10:09 PM
Crystal Beach Florida is right on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico and in my opinion, a fantastic place to live! 


The entire community is so small that nobody lives more than five blocks from the water! That means taking a walk to the shore to watch the sunset or to watch the birds feeding first thing in the morning is something that is extremely easy to do. 
Crystal Beach Florida is also a golf cart community, meaning you can travel through our streets on a golf cart rather than using a car IF you own a valid … (15 comments)

Red fish are back and the fishing is good off Crystal Beach Florida.

It was pretty windy and cold for a few days and I am pretty sure that even the red fish headed to deeper water for a while but they are back and although he had to wear long pants and left in a jacket, Ronnie was out with his buddy Bob once again today. He caught this red fish and guess what we are having tomorrow.......
This one is going to be smoked on apple wood and made into a nice fish spread. That is what he … (8 comments)

crystal beach florida: Sunshine & Blue Skies Are Back But That Wind Continues - Crystal Beach - 10/30/12 12:08 AM
The sunshine and blue skies are indeed back here in Crystal Beach Florida but that wind continues and is brutal! 

Our morning walk was along the bayou and that was fine but when we got out to the seashore along the Gulf of Mexico, I stayed there for about 5 minutes and got away from the winds quickly! It is COLD!

Our temperatures this morning were in the mid-50's and the wind gusts are still 40 mph with steady winds at 30 mph along the shore.
That is simply too cold!!! I watch the news and worry about our … (6 comments)

Hurricane Sandy is bringing a lot of wind to Crystal Beach Florida this morning and our high temperature is only going to be 73!

That means break out the slacks and long sleeve shirts for this kid. I have homes to show today and I want to be warm enough.
My morning walk along the seashore was REALLY windy, with gusts up to 35 mph but as soon as I got a block away, it was much calmer again.
Be safe all of you up in the Northeast and don't ignore the warnings! I live in hurricane country and know … (4 comments)

It is another fantastic Friday here in Crystal Beach Florida. Blue skies, sunshine and the humidity and temperature are both perfect for the end of October.

While the east coast of Florida is experiencing rain from Hurricane Sandy, we are having really fabulous weather. It was a picture-book kind of day! 
After running a market analysis for two different clients, I had lunch with a friend and did a bit of shopping.
Wishing all of you a wonderful weekend! Those of you in the northeast, I sincerely hope all predictions are incorrect and that the storm stays far out in … (6 comments)

crystal beach florida: A Beautiful Day In Crystal Beach Florida! I Love The Fall! - 10/21/12 09:40 AM
A beautiful day in Crystal Beach Florida is exactly what it was!
My day began with a nice walk from Crystal Beach down to Ozona........a little under three miles. Then I had a wonderful breakfast at Ohana Cafe before returning home to work in the veggie garden for a few hours.

What day would be complete without an evening walk along the shoreline here in beautiful Crystal Beach Florida? I love living here!

crystal beach florida: When The Fog Burns Off Bliss Is Found.....Reflections...... - 10/09/12 12:19 AM
When the fog burns off, bliss is found........those words came to me while I was taking my early morning walk through a foggy Crystal Beach Florida.

I was listening once again to an audiobook by Robert Thurman titled "The Jewel Tree Of Tibet" and reflecting on how knowing one's self through meditation is comparable with what is happening right now, right here in Crystal Beach Florida.

As you can see from the photos, our community is surrounded by a thick fog this morning, much like the mind when we don't train it to be free of attachment and seek … (16 comments)
