Chair #23

A quiet place to stop and rest

as you wander the trails

near the lighthouse on 

Sanibel Island,

Florida, USA.

Taken 7 March 2016.

Sanibel Lighthouse

Had trouble choosing

Island Cow et al

A few selected photos from Sanibel Island.

This is a mural inside a shop...

I don't remember which one.

A light fixture in the Island Cow restaurant.

A quiet garden on the periphery of a shopping center.

Sanibel Island.

Highly recommended.

Beaks and Teeth

We spent some time at the

J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge

while were on Sanibel Island.

Lots and lots of interesting birds.

And a distant (thank you) glimpse

at this guy.

Uh, no. We did not go swimming.

Hibiscus Plus

I have come to the conclusion that hibiscus is my favorite flower.

I have a hard time not snapping pictures of them

wherever I find them.

These were on the edges of a parking lot

on Sanibel Island, Florida.

Taken in March 2017.

This bicycle seat in the same location

was equally irresistible.

SUPER SOFT...AHHhhh

Lizard for Lunch

Here is a series of photos of a bird
- some type of heron, I think -
whom I caught having a lizard for lunch. 
This was during a trip to Florida, March 2016. 
We visited a reserve on Sanibel Island.  

I like the last photo best.

You can see the little lizard's face in this photo, and its tail arched over its head.

Most of the lizard is now in the bird's gullet, but his tail is still dangling.

Gulp! Done.

Smooth feathers...

Ruffled feathers!
