Oh my goodness where is Destin? I love beaches like that... I'm gonna roadtrip around FL a lot this summer and the next 4 years... that's beautiful.

Great looking 8 on a beautiful beach!

Beautiful 8...I just got a new wallpaper :)

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

very nice car, I cannot complain!

Damn, your white really PoPs in that picture! I don't know if its the sand or what...but I think my PB would look just as good next to that ocean. :cool: What kind of camera?

Nice pix!

It's in the panhandle, about halfway between Panama City and Pensacola.

If you are going to roadtrip around FL, you need to make sure you go to Siesta Key, just below Sarasota. The beach is rated one of the 10 best in the world. The sand is like talcum powder!!! Venice beach is also pretty nice for just chilin'

looks sandy = )

Thanks! Its a Kodak Z612

posting to subscribe AND COMPLIMENT! i've been looking around for beach desktops for my work computer and your pics are perfect!

The close up picture of the back of the 8 is brochure worthy! Awesome job!

Cool man, me and my wife are from Destin :D

nice scenery

funny,

i grew up there... i thought everyone got home from school and played golf or went water skiing..

then moved to virginia...

destin rules...

beers :beer:

Nice pictures RX8guy86.

I need to take my 8 on a road trip. :)

Thanks for all the compliments!

i would trade you my shore for your shore any day!

haha!

just beautiful. my wife's aunt has a place down in watercolor which is just around the corner from destin and those beaches were beautiful. i still had to get over the fact that most of those beaches you would walk through woods and over pine needles to get to that perfect sand. it even fluoresces at night when you walk on it because of something in the sand.

Very nice pictures. Beautiful beaches out there in Florida.

Where are the palm trees???

BTW nice car...my second choice if I didn't get VRed.

beautiful pics..need to get down there myself, It's been a while. Glad to see the beaches are being restored after the storms.

Good shots of your 8.....lookin real nice!

Oh you need to get on a plane...You have NO idea what you are missing! There are palms, but most of the palms are gone right on the beach execpt in remote areas because of storms. Destin, Ft. Walton, Santa Rosa Island, Panama city...they are all gorgeous, and also very commercial.

You see palms on the beach edges in pictures of places like Figi, the Bahamas, but most of those areas, have been spared by mother nature. It doesn't detract from the wondrousness of the beaches in this area though. I believe someone mentioned they sparkle even at night..it's so true.....

I like Fl further down the west coast. My wife is from Venice. As soon as I can find a job making what I'm making here in NoVA, we will be moving!

Her family still lives down there. One brother and family in North Port and the other in Englewood.

There is no better day than just drownin' bait in Lemon Bay, soakin up the sun and throwin a couple of cold ones down the ol' gullet.

Damn, I miss Fl.

what a nice photo location ! very nice pics ! :Eyecrazy:

love this pic :Eyecrazy: :)

I have alot more to learn... :)

Stay out of Destin. The tourists are ruining it! I know I would be considered a tourist but my Grandmother actually LIVES there, not hotel stays for me. 5 years ago she paid $180,000 for her house. It is now valued at over $800,000 Destin is getting to overbuilt and popular. it use dot be so vast and empty with nothing but beautiful beaches like the above. Now there are houses/hotels dotted all over the beaches. Tourists give Destin too much attention and overcroud the place. My girlfriend's mother grew up there and apparently in the 70s and 80s Destin was ALL beaches with like 3 clubs, a grocery store, and a few hotels. Now its much much more, too much!

I enjoyed every bit of it.... Didn't seem too crowded at all... I wouldn't want to live down there by any means, but for a week vacation, I LOVED IT! :)
