Light at the End of the Tunnel



Another shot from a recent visit to Ft. Barrancas. At the end of a dark, steep passageway, this door leads outside to the water battery.

Home of the Dolphins

We're back after a 2-week break from the blog!

Margaret took this photo of one of the numerous artistic installations at Gulf Breeze's schools. This painted tile mural outside the entrance to Gulf Breeze Middle School celebrates our mascot - the Dolphins - and our award-winning middle school band.

Seaside Sepia

Just a couple more from our short visit to Seaside. The simplicity of the architecture, while extraordinarily beautiful in the soft pastels the town is famous for, is especially lovely in sepia as well. Margaret captured a sign at Sundog Books, and a pair of ocean-front cottages.

YBNormal? Again...



It is impossible not to smile when driving or walking past this fun yard art sculpture in Gulf Breeze.

YBNormal?



Why settle for plain, boring garage doors? This otherwise normal brick ranch home boasts beautifully painted double doors. In fact, Gulf Breeze residential streets are bursting with unique expressions of architectural adornment in many different forms. Most of these gems are missed at 25 mph, but are a delightful bonus on a morning walk.
