| Crossing the Sunshine Skyway Bridge |
I always look forward to crossing the
Skyway Sunshine Bridge and our annual visit to the fishing pier on the other side. It's a
state park that attracts both sightseers and others who simply want to spend some time fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.
Heavy wind warnings made me a little apprehensive, but in fact, wind on the bridge was less strong than we've experienced in the past, probably because there was no crosswind. I love the height and the feeling that we're flying into the clouds through gates of gold.

| End of the pier |
The pier was full but not crowded. In the past, I've had the sense that many people were fishing out of necessity, not for recreation. Not so this year: I was happy to see a cheerful, polyglot crowd simply out enjoying a warm day on Tampa Bay. At the end of the pier, salsa music was blaring but it seemed "right" and I felt like dancing.
It was very windy on the pier and but the heavy, well balanced pelicans are unbothered by a gulf breezes. Other birds were less numerous. No dolphins at all, and only a few boats in the bay.
