October Packing List
by ATXtraveler
When it comes to the weather in the greater Tampa Bay area, summer is the norm. Make sure you bring clothes for warm weather as you are almost guaranteed several temperate days. Toward the end of October, however, there are a couple days that might actually fool you. On the night before I flew it, it dropped to 62! It was quickly back up to 75 the following day, but make sure you bring a windbreaker just in case for the evenings or a cold day.
The live oak Tree
by easterntrekker
The Live Oak tree has been called majestic, romantic, and "one of the most impressive trees in North America." It is the state tree of Georgia but there are many of them in Florida as well. They can live as long as 500 years and look so beautiful when draped in the typical grayish moss.

"Sunset at the beach"
Ok, So clearwater is AWESOME! I've been there a few times, and it never fails to amaze me! Check out this interesting character I saw walking up and down the beach playing music on this old school record player he was holding,

"FOOD"
here is my bro and my cousin while we were eating at the hurricane restaurant which is right across the street from Clearwater Beach. The food is YUM
"Sunshine Bridge"
This is a little further south from Clearwater. The sunshine ridge takes you right into sarasota. The cool ting about this bridge if you ever get a chance to drive over it.... as your driving up to the center of the bridge,... it looks like your driving into the sky. Its beautiful.
This pic was taking from Fort Desoto park. It was a gloomy day so its a little fuzzy....I guess you really have to be there to appreciate the view,

Clearwater area

My wife and I spent a couple of days in the CLearwater Beach area on a quick vacation getaway. This area is known for its' sunshine but we managed to be here for two days of rain and cloudy weather. There was still plenty to do though and our trip was very interesting. We enjoyed the wildlife of the area. Visited Honeymoon Island State Park. The ferry to Calaldesi Island was closed due to bad weather but the nature trail on Honeymoon Island was a rewarding experience. We also visited Homosassa Springs State Park and were rewarded with a close encounter with many of FLorida native birds and mammals.
