Sunset Southern Cayo Costa

This past week I stayed on Cayo Costa Island and traveled by boat to work. The first sunset was most amazing. I took numerous photos in Captiva Pass. I drifted with the tide and watched the different light shadow the island. Camping on the island is always enjoyable and full of adventure. Early in the week I took a long walk off a short dock and discovered my I -phone didn't swim as well as I did in my jeans, ugg boots, and fleece. I am still trying to recover emails and phone numbers. I managed to get all my charters in and enjoyed the sunsets, moonrise's, quick swims, and rain showers in the early morning.

Sunset Moonrise

Sunset and moonrise. One more moon and the year is beginning again.

Quiet Beach and Magnificent Frigate Birds

Cayo Costa was quiet today and the water clear. I saw more birds over the island than people. Total people on the south end of Cayo Costa, seven including me. Number of Magnificent Frigate Birds overhead 43. Both a beautiful sight.

Wildlife

The beauty of the great outdoors is always changing. You never know what you might see if you just look. The Bald Eagle in the photo just cruised by with a fish in it's talon. The pod of dolphin had a new born calf. The roseate spoonbill had bands on both legs. The dock that I walk on many times a week had a peaceful sky.

Blue Skies

The skies were nice today. It was quiet on the water. The whole day felt like a day in the Ten Thousand Islands in the Everglades.

Captiva Island Sunset

The light was unbelievable tonight. I took several photos on the bay side of Captiva Island, while cleaning the boat. On my way home the light and sunset were spectacular. I had to stop and take more photos. By the time I reached the south end of Captiva Island, the sky was on fire. I had to stop a second time. I ran to the beach and took pictures of the last orange glow of the day. Every sunset leads to a new day.

Special Spots

The moon was just a sliver, the wind today was intense. I just had to take yet another photo of Cayo Costa. You can never take enough photos of special spots, like Cayo Costa.

Water and Cayo Costa

Every day is a new day.

Shadows On The Beach

The last few days were filled with low morning tides. The light and shells continued to capture my eyes as I walked along the beach. The moon was making his trip around and around. The shadows started to fade, as the tide started to rise.
