Historic Spanish Point

 Though we visited Selby's Historic Spanish Point campus to see the Clyde Butcher photography exhibition, we discovered that the campus had much charm aside from the photography exhibition.


A small chapel with lovely stained glass windows was erected by the family of a young woman who had fallen ill and died while visiting the Webb estate.


A small cemetery is neighbor to the chapel. 



Maybe it was the influence of Clyde Butcher's photographs, but I found myself admiring (and photographing) too many of the trees to show here.



A small building illustrated the historic ways of sorting and packaging citrus fruit.


Out the back of that building, there was a boardwalk leading to a beautiful view of Sarasota Bay.

There is an attractive sunken garden and pergola.

It was a pretty place just to walk around.
