Sudgren Sunset


When ever we're in Florida we always make a tasty beverage, grab some 5 Guys burgers and head to Sudgren for sunset. We eat outdoors at much as possible.  And it is so nice to leave the reservations behind and eat like a local. A local osprey that is.  All the other local people are sitting inside their air conditioned condos or restaurants.

I love the movement and composition of this photo

But why would you eat inside when you can dine by the lake. This egret agrees.

This photo has dazzling color in the ripples. A favorite silhouette.

And take a sunset swim.



They perform water ski shows at Sudgren.  I prefer the dazzling performance of the setting sun.


I asked a girlfriend to dine with us on this night.  She preferred to dine alone.  Danielle, you missed a great sunset!  And my dazzling conversation.  Ha!

Layers of color at sunset

But there's always next year. Sunset at Sudgren happens for free everyday. But bring your own burger!

I can see why you like the egret in the reeds shot, its spendid.

Such a gorgeous osprey! Love the other photos as well. Beautiful sunsets and I agree about the movement and composition in the lake & reeds shot. Hope you've had a great week. I am back from a cruise...was already behind with everyone. Now I'll never get caught up! :-)

Great photos. The sunsets are very beautiful and the birds especially beautiful. I think I would be joining you outside and NOT staying in the air conditioning!

I'm very much behind in paying you a visit since I've taken on a huge and challenging project...converting cross stitching to crochet pattern is taking up way too much time for me.

But...I finally made it here, and I'm really enjoying the beautiful images...the colors and the warm glow in all are so relaxing and so tranquil. A day beginning, and coming to a peaceful close.

LOVE the silhouette!!! And thanks for sharing this post with I'd Rather B Birdin this week.
