Another one of my favorite places to visit near Sarasota is Historic Spanish Point. As usual, I won't go into a lot of detail here about the place since I have a link to the organization's web site in the
Landmarks I've Visited section. These photos are of just a few of the places at the Point - there are loads more.
One of my typical 'palm next to road' shots.
A succulent thrives.
Sun Garden and Pergola. The pergola is perhaps one of the most well known features of the site.
Bouganvillea growing around the columns and top of the pergola. The colors of Bouganvillea are so intense, I think they can actually hurt your eyes.
Chairs under the pergola.
Some of the grounds.
The White Cottage.
More grounds as seen from the Sun Garden.
