FLORIDA — Phone cameras make it so easy to capture great moments any day, any time. Have you taken some photos of flowers in bloom, children frolicking at the beach, breathtaking sunsets, dramatic skylines or a funny photo of the family dogs plunging into the backyard swimming pool?

The Florida Patch sites publish a collection of Photos of the Week each weekend sent in by readers.
Whether you snapped an amazing shot with your smartphone or spent hours capturing the decisive moment on a Nikon D6, send your photos to Tampa Bay Patch editor D'Ann White at dann.white@patch.com with the location of the photo and the name of the photographer. You might see your photo featured on Patch.

This week's theme is a Florida favorite pastime — boating. Who doesn't dream about getting on a boat and sailing away, leaving all your cares and worries behind. Check out these photos from Patch readers of Floridians fulfilling this dream.
