Friday 11th January

.

Strolling along the beach

Feet paddling in the sea

Sand between toes

Dolphins splashing free

.

On through the Everglades

Getting up close and personal

With a gnarly old alligator

Moving away quite purposeful

.

Stopping to walk a trail

At Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk

Spying nesting bald eagles

Where kites and ospreys squawk

.

A day filled with wildlife

Getting close to nature

Taking you with us everywhere

You’d love every creature

.

Lighthouse on Sanibel Island, built in 1884

Clear water, perfect for shelling

Us, again

Old tree carcass

Blue heron at Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk

Fern-filled pond, surrounded by cypress trees

Cypress growing very tall

Caution!

Two American bald eagles sitting on a branch

Reflections

A heron looking for its next meal

A really, really big ‘gator lazing in the sunshine

Sunset on the return journey
