A Walk at Crescent Lake

This park in St Petersburg FL is right across the street from Sunken Gardens, where I am a Member and visit often, so I usually get some lunch somewhere and take a walk in the park. The peak time is winter when there are lots of migrating ducks and pelicans hanging out here, but there are usually birdies to be seen at any time of the year.

Some photos from an afternoon walk.
