Description
The City of Tarpon Springs Florida is well know for sponges and Greek culture. It is a lovely area with many places to buy sponges and artifacts from the Gulf of Mexico. It is a tourist mecca of deep sea fishing trips, and fantastic food. But that was not my reason for visiting the area. I was on the look out for a lovely nautical photo. The very fist thing that got my attention was the shrimp boats park neatly at the docks. I took a number of photos but I love this one the best. With the sun getting low a blanket of clouds moved in, and captured the warmth of the setting sun. After looking at all the photos that I had taken I notice the pelican flying over the boats, and I knew this would be the shot. I hope you enjoy "Pelican Over Mattie Fay"!!!!
