When we come to it

Would you drive over this bridge?


Actually, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is not as steep as it looks from this angle. It did freak me out for a minute, though, coz I had promised DS we'd cross over to the next county as part of our last birding trip.

All the time I lived in the Tampa Bay area, I wouldn't drive over this bridge because I'd heard so many horror stories about its construction. I had second thoughts as I stood in the park and shot that first picture. But when we got closer, it wasn't nearly as intimidating as I'd imagined. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed the crossing and hope to do it again when we have time to linger longer.

This was a whirlwind tour of as many counties as we could cover in two days, so we didn't stop anywhere long enough to seek out the best photographic angles. I just shot where I stood and hoped for the best. As it happens, Meems has also posted about the Sunshine Skyway today. She has some great pics of the bridge, including some really nice zooms of the 'sails'. So I'm going to be lazy and refer y'all over to her site to learn more about it. 8-}

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
