#FloridaRocks: Your Photos of the Sunshine State

Patch readers are reaching out to share their favorite scenes taken around the Bay area and throughout Florida.

Strawberries, beautiful public parks and Bok Tower Gardens are just a few of the things that make Florida so special.

That’s according to Patch reader Melinda Gibbs, who shared some photos of her travels around the Tampa Bay area and state. Gibb’s photos include shots taken at Bok Tower, Lettuce Lake Park, Honeymoon Island, Philippe Park, Weedon Island, Spivey Farms, Legoland, Al Lopez Park and a sky shot taken in a Cracker Barrel parking lot.

Gibbs is one of several readers to have submitted photos in our ongoing series to show others why #FloridaRocks. Be sure to check out Tracy Moore’s work by visiting this story. Michelle Holland’s work can be found here.
