A bit more of Florida

Here are a few more shots from Florida.  Our trip had three stages, St. Petersburg, Nokomis, and Sun City, and with the exception of two days of heavy rain at the start, we had exceptional weather. 
The video of the "Drum Circle" at Nokomis Beach did not upload, I will try to youtube it.
