Captiva Evening~Florida

Howdee all,

A few nights ago Jeff and I went for an evening walk on Captiva Island..Blind pass area.

Look at this massive shell mound!

It was close to sunset and we were here for a walk..

so we didn't go thru this pile.

We walked the beach..like some of the birds do.

The skies to the south were stormy and dramatic.

The clouds were moving and changing..

We walked north for a few miles...

Turning south to look at the clouds...that were creeping toward us.

We thought there was a possibility this storm would miss us..

So we kept walking…

We wanted to catch the sunset…

We continued to walk north away from the car.

Past some Willets..

As the sun started to set..

We noticed the dark clouds above us.

Moving over us and toward the north..

Then the gray clouds let loose…'

I took no more photos…

We quickly packed up the camera in a waterproof bag and ran back to the car.

We ran for about a half hour….a bit before we reached the car the rain stopped.

We were sopping wet….but enjoyed the exercise.

Jeff was impressed I could run for a half hour straight.

Ha…You do what you have to do..

I am loving Sanibel and its beaches…today on our beach walk we saw the continuing
