Last week-ish, Ru and I drove to the west coast...
To have a look around the areas we're interested in living...
We ended up on Sanibel Island,
At Bowman's Beach...
We barely made it onto the causeway,
When we stopped on a narrow strip of beach
To eat lunch...
And watch the shore birds...
An osprey dove into the water right in front of us...
No camera in hand of course...
But I did capture the black-bellied plover, above...
And a great egret...
Once at Bowman's Beach,
I gleefully strolled down the shore
Looking for seashells
And watching the feathered friends...
Like the sandwich terns, above
(Black bills w/ yellow tips)...
And this royal tern...
(All birds are in their winter plumage)...
The scenery was pleasant...
Walking back to the car, at the bridge
Over a waterway off of the ocean...
We watched two 'silver' gals
Canoeing at a brisk clip...
(Mom, you can do it!)
