Views from Paradise .......

Hello folks,

Spent last night and early this morning walking the beach. May be my last time for a few days since storms are scheduled to start rolling into Southwest Florida later today. Left the house at 6:30am to head out to Lover's key to do some low tide shelling. yesterday and today were to be the "lowest" low tides for the next few months, which is a bummer because LOW tides are an excellent time to collect shells and see some aquatic wildlife.

Here are some pics from this mornings visit ...

Below are a couple spiny starfish that have been left "high & dry" from the dropping tide. They will recover when the tide comes back in. These guys are a bit "creepy" looking as they try to move along the sand to get back in the water.

Couple guys Fly-fishing. Showing off a Snook he caught before releasing him back into the water.

 

Below are pictures taken last night at sunset on Bonita Beach on Big Hickory...

You are right sure looks like Paradise to me. Love the shot of the trees and the roots. I came from Maryland and got stuck in Alabama next stop Florida.
