3. Destin, FL

I've lived in Alaska - - I've driven the Eagle River 500 -- I've skied with the moose in the snow - - trust me -- this is better

4. Ahhhh..I can just smell the salt and the ozone as it hits you on the beach....

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

8. Why the red flag?

The surf looks pretty calm.

9. That's what all the touristas say till they go glugg glugg

rip curents

13. The 'touristas' have

attitudes about some 'locals', as well.

14. Landlubber talk

Toes in the sand trumps that

I do love me some shrimps and oysters

17. Whatever works for your

mind is fine with me. Unnecessary insults, based on false assumptions are what will stick in my mind. Have a nice evening.

18. Wow! Pictures of a pre-apocalypse place that no longer exists..

or perhaps, will not exist soon. x( :mad: :puke:

5. All this destroyed so a few greedy Bastards at the top can control the price of Gas...

Florida was a paradise.. you used to be able to fish almost anywhere, see Dolphins up close on a daily basis... stand in water up to your knees and see the fish swim around your feet.... no more.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Mr. Obama.. I beg you.. Stand up to BP.. do not let this get worse than it is... (we may already be past the point of no return)

7. Where the water meets the shore we are all connected

Greed is an abomination...we're fucked...maybe the sky gods can reclaim it...if they have any hair on their asses

19. omigawd! What a magnificent picture..what a magnificent place...

I want to wish myself into that picture...

20. stunning...

What a truly beautiful image... as a lifelong Floridian I have the sickest of feelings in the pit of my stomach and pray every day that our beloved Gulf can be saved.

Could you possibly post this in a larger image? It's a bit small to desktop image, but I'm determined.

10. Love your pics

I'm always looking for great photos to paint especially ocean and wet sand. So I hope you don't mind if I hit >save> and stored a few in my "Inspiration" folder.

It saddens me that all of that can go away... :cry:

[Baclava]

11. Save away - if you make any money off them - I take paypal

p.s. - never pick up jellyfish then lick your lips = just a word of warning

[nc4bo]

12. :)

I wish I could sell what I paint but then again - nah. I've a feeling the additional pressure to produce consistently would squash my spirit.

Art is a beloved hobby and I want to keep it that way, if that makes any sort of sense.

Thanks!!

21. Baclava...

just wanted to let you know... ever since I saw this thread I've googled Destin, FL and found many more pictures and information about the area.

I must admit... I had no idea this section of Florida, east of Pensacola was so beautiful. I mean, it's amazing. Stunning... stunning in a Carribean cruise kinda way.

I will be in Florida in Sept... I plan on a day trip out to Destin... I hope it looks like it does above.
