Black Skimmer

    
On one windy day I got a nice angle of these Black Skimmer water birds.  Walking South on Lowdermilk Beach, there were many varieties of birds taking a respite from the weather.  It was an isolated day, and I had the beach almost to myself except for these critters.  Very relaxing.  I love the wind and the sea.

Shells of Paradise Coast

  Bonita Beach, one beach on the so-called Paradise Coast,  has a good selection of shells most of the year.  I have found many of these.  Nature is abundant and provides such beautiful things for us to do. 

 And it is great exercise to wander along the coast becoming lost to space-time. Every so often someone will stop me to look at my shells and we will strike up such a nice conversation.

Birdie Siesta

Every working bird has to take a little siesta once in awhile.

Fog Rolling In

At first I thought this was smoke and then quickly realized that the fog was rolling in.
