Today was a beautiful Saturday morning in St Petersburg, Florida. The weather was warm, the skies were blue, and there was a little bit of wind for sailing.
Today was a typical class for young sailors at the St Petersburg Sailing Center. It was pleasant to watch because there was music from the Saturday Morning Market wafting across the water (if you were there, you'd see all the white tents in the park by the waterfront).
You can also see part of the downtown St Petersburg skyline - the highrise on the left is Signature Place, which should be finished by this spring. Then you see an office building, which many of us still refer to as the Barnett Tower (from the Barnett Bank days) though it's been the Bank of America Tower for some years. Then you see Bayfront Tower, the earliest downtown St Pete highrise from the 1970s, which still commands wonderful waterfront views.
As Mayor Rick Baker says at every speaking opportunity: "It's another great day in St. Petersburg!"
p.s. It's my grandson in the sailboat on the right.
Sharon, St. Petersburg looks so awsome. It must be a totally wonderful place to live. I love the water.
Jim - every day we're grateful that we live in Paradise.
