#FloridaRocks: Your Photos of the Sunshine State

A morning on a golf course, a quiet afternoon outside on the porch and birds by the water are some of the things that make the Sunshine State so special.

That’s according to Patch reader Basil Aftousmis.

Aftousmis recently sent us some shots he snapped while out and about in Brooksville and Hernando County. Many of the scenes were taken right in his own yard, showing just why he thinks #FloridaRocks.

Aftousmis is just one of many Patch readers to have submitted photos for our ongoing series meant to illustrate all the sights that make it clear that #FloridaRocks.
