¶Jake and I went to The Pier in St. Pete this morning for some plane spotting. What a great time! We got some great photos…will post some here later today.

¶I took this from our first stop, right outside of Doc Ford’s at the base of The Pier. It might be my favorite of the day. Jake and I sat in a couple of Adirondack chairs right on the water, shooting right from the chairs. A perfect spot!

¶Once out on The Pier, we were able to look back toward downtown St. Petersburg and catch some planes as they approached the waterside runway.

¶I found a great spot for framing planes with the palm trees and the angles of the building on The Pier. Unfortunately, I only had my iPhone, so I couldn’t get the tighter shot I wanted, but the phone did a decent job with it, even though the plane is tiny in the images.

¶I would say the traffic at Albert Whitted was moderate today, which was perfect. Not too busy, but we had a stretch where we watched the planes come in one after another.
