The third and last shots are my favourites with the birds on the signs.

Most signs have birds on them. They are natural perching spots, actually the only good spots out in the open water down there in Florida…

I guess, take a right at 78! I love all the birds on the numbers.

Interesting markers — day beacons with yellow patches — intracoastal waterway aids? We don’t have them here, very few cormorants these days also, but a surprise visitor showed up. A harbor seal! Very friendly to say the least.

All these are markers of the Intracoastal Waterway on the Gulf Coast of Florida. But pretty much the whole Intracoastal Waterway, down the whole of the East Coast, is marked like this.
