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
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son) 
Strolling along a beach with feet in the water always sounds nice if only sand didn’t piss me off

Great photos! Glad to see the water is so clear after all of the red-tide issues that plagued the coast last year.
