Howdy Folks,

Windy day in paradise today. Mother Nature sure is whipping up the winds off the Gulf of Mexico which has also churned up the waters. Gulf was quite rough this afternoon, rougher than I've seen it in quite some time. Quite a few surfers taking advantage of the rough waters by catching the waves.

Here are a few picks from today's walk on Bonita Beach at Big Hickory......

Here are a couple surfers waiting for the next wave..

View looking over one of the jetties into the pass..

The tip of the jetty stick out into the Gulf waters..

Below is only a few of the birds in the flock of "Skimmers" resting on the beach. If you look closely, you will notice that the lower beak on these birds is longer than the upper beak. These birds are called "Skimmers" because they fly only an inch above the surface of the water with their lower beak in the water. When the beak hits a fish, it closes extremely fast to catch the fishy.

Since today is extremely windy and the water quite rough, these birds are not able to skim the water for food, so that chose to rest instead.

And to finish up today's walk, I came across Otis the Tortoise having a little lunch. Otis is a Gopher Tortoise. These are a protected species, so it is illegal to bother him.

Hope you have enjoyed the pictures from today's adventure in Southwest Florida.

Hello folks,

Went kayaking for the first time earlier this week. Wow, if ya never been Kayaking before, best be prepared for some sore arms. We rented a couple kayaks at Lover's Key State Park in Lee County Florida and paddled around the bay & islands. Saw a couple HUGE Manatees swimming under our kayaks, which was quite neat.

Here are a few pics.....

Picture below is of a Pelican Diving into the water for a little breakfast.
In the background is the Lover's key Resort.

Below is a pic of the small restaurant in the rear of the Lover's Key Resort. As you can see they are "right" on the water. Never eaten here before, but will in the near future. The restaurant is down by the small deck in the picture.

Picture below is looking in the opposite direction as the pic above. We had stopped on a small beach and "borrowed" a couple lounge chairs for about 20 minutes to rest our arms ...... even though there were "no trespassing signs" posted. hehe

Hope you enjoyed the photos. It is a rough life livng in Southwest Florida, but someone has to do it!!

Hello Folks,

From the first of May until the end of October every year is Stingray season on the beaches of Southwest Florida. The first thing most locals will tell you is to 'Shuffle" your feet as you walk in the surf. By shuffling your feet, you will scare off any stingrays before you have a chance to step on them.

This mornings walk in the calm surf along Bonita Beach revealed numerous stingrays. It doesn't matter how big or small they are, if you step on them they will nail you with the barb in their tail out of defense.

Sea Turtles are one of the few animals which will swim thousands of miles in our oceans only to end back up on the beach which they were born. This jouney brings them back "to home" upon which they lay their eggs for the next generation.

In the picture below, if you look closely, you will see the "tracks" from the momma sea turtle as she pulled herself up on the beach to lay her eggs. Then you can see her tracks again as she headed back out into the gulf. For a Sea Turtle, this is a huge undertaking as they were not designed to be able to "walk" on land. The hours it takes for her to craw up the beach, dig a deep nest, lay her 80+ eggs, bury the eggs, and then craw back o the water.... only to never know if her efforts would pay off.

Hello Folks,

Well, I shall confess ..... It is awesome to be living in paradise!!!! Not many places in the United States or even the World where a person can watch sunset on a nightly bases as they set over a large body of water.

Tonight's adventures were on the Southern end of Fort Myers Beach. I started out at the Holiday Inn and then walked north up the beach.

Here are some pics from tonight's adventure ......

Picture below is looking back at the Holiday Inn from the beach. The Holiday Inn is the building in the Green Roofs.

This section of Fort Myers Beach is extremely wide.

Hope you have enjoyed the photos.

Howdy folks,

The last sunset of the month for May turned out to be quite nie. This past week was a loosy week for watching sunsets due to all the rain we have had in the area. As everyone knows, each sunset is different, so is each day spent walking the beach. As the tides rise and fall they either wash away sand or deposit more sand on the beach. The wave action also brings in shells or washes them back out into the gulf.

Below are some picture from tonights visit to the beach right before sunset......

Here is a view looking south toward the end of Barefoot Beach at Wiggins Pass..

View looking North up Barefoot Beach

Hello Folks,

Went out to Barefoot Beach to check out this evening sunset. Unfortunately, sunset wasn't very exciting since the sun ended up slipping behind a bank of clouds, but the walk on the beach was still quite nice. Sunset and Low Tide ended up being at the same time of day, which made walking the beach quite nice.

Below is a picture of a Duck on the beach. In 20+ years of walking the beaches down here, I have never seen a Duck on the beach, but HEY ... there is a first for everything.

Looking North down Barefoot Beach at low tide

Below is a picture of a Stingray in the water. From May 1st to October 1st is Stingray Season on the Gulf Coast Beaches. If you are wading out into the water it is best to shuffle your feet so that you do not step on these guys. They can be quite painfull.
