Took a little trip down to the "tropics" to celebrate my wife's birthday. Couldn't help but take some pictures while waiting

for my family to arrive at the restaurant

The restaurant (Sharky's):

Very nice.  The "tropics" are alive and well.

Rob! You came down to Venice and didn't say hi!  :laugh:

If this was yesterday you may have seen me speeding around on my new motorcycle (red crotch rocket with blue helmet).

I was not at the restaurant, but at the beach next to it with a ladyfriend.

hi ruskin,

the pictures are terrefic,Please convey my regards and best wishes to you wife. I should admit that other than gardening my other favouriate pass time is photography.

and visiting picture gallery's of proffessional photographers.

you seem to handle you machine like a pro does.since you have

taken pains in getting the proper angles and your pictures do not have a pinch of glare_Good Work !

without that U.S flag and american cars in your pictures, one could easily think is some remote beach location in thailand,

malayasia or papua & new guenie..

your pictures show how healthy those cocos nuciferas are and the sabal palmetto's are also looking great.

For the benifit of members i request you all to share as to which digital camera was used to shoot the above pic.

One Man One Tree !

Love,

Kris (to all my friends out their).

love conquers all..

Great pix!

And hope your wife had a happy birthday, even if you got a little palm-crazy . . .

Hey all,

Thanks for the compliments and my wife did have a nice birthday at the beach! Kris, I am by no means a professional photographer. The camera in question is a Canon Powetshot A80, an older 4 megapixel digital camera. It really is idiot proof and takes nice pictures so I guess that is why the pics turned out nice...plus they are pictures of palms which always helps!

This is proof that coconuts can be grown in Californian micro-climates!

I think you might be talking about the wrong Venice.
