Looking through the mangroves as light falls, Old Tampa Bay
I rarely see the dark. Off to bed while there is still light in the sky and awake into sunshine. We arrived in Tampa in the afternoon and by the time we toured the hotel and had dinner, suddenly it was dusk and then darkness. It was so exciting walking through the mangroves, wondering what eyes were looking at us and hearing the chirrup of many insects and night birds.
Doesn’t this look like a giant tarantula, below? It is really a spider crab and once I had my eyes focused they were everywhere. Wouldn’t it be fun to go there at Halloween?
Is it a tarantula?
At one point the darkening sky turned green. It was eerily beautiful.
It contrasted so beautifully with the pink sunset just before.
More wonderful photos and stories from Tampa to come.
