Hobie Beach Trees

 
This beach is on the south side of the Rickenbacher Causeway on the way to Key Biscayne.  It's called Hobie Beach. It used to have a bunch of pine trees...alot of shade to sit under and people would bring their dogs to the beach...really a cool place to park at night and just listen to the waves lap along the shore.  About a year ago, the city started a project to improve the beach.  The trees are all gone, except for these two...which stand in the water most of the time.  Not sure this is an improvement...I'm sure the contractors think so.

Showing Some Leg

I thought this bird looked so funny...like he was busting a move (electric slide?) or showing off his skinny bird leg.  Whatever...doesn't look like it was going to last long with that wave hovering :o)

Sunset At Bowmans Beach - April 09 #3

The Shore

We were sitting on the shore along the causeway to Sanibel Island...the sinking sun was glistening on the waves and this family with two little girls settled in next to us. I was mezmerized by the waves and the light...it was beautiful. I captured a little of the shore and one little girls discovery :o)

Sanibel Sunset

Tonight we sat along the causeway to Sanibel to watch the sunset. I was an almost cloudless sky so it was a really different sunset than I am used to when I come here. It was beautiful though :o)
