SANIBEL ISLAND - FLORIDA - DECEMBER 2008

The thrill of crossing the new bridge is almost breathtaking. At the crest, the view of water to the left and right is magnificent. This view is of the arching effect after the crest as we drive toward Sanibel.


On the left is the Gulf of Mexico. This day was a beautiful sunny day with soft breezes and gentle waves.
Homes on the Sanibel shoreline overlooking the bay just below the Calusahachee River.

This is a panoramic view looking across the bay to Ft. Myers Beach to the left all the way down to Naples, Florida on the right. If you double click this picture it may be large enough to see the communities across the bay from Sanibel Island.



This is the southeast part of the island that includes the lighthouse. These folks are enjoying some early December fishing.


Walter is enjoying a walk along the beach as the afternoon clouds begin to roll in.



This is an unusual picture in that to the left is the lighthouse and across from it is an Osprey at its nest. A double click on this picture may also help to see the Osprey.


Walter has his back to the most southeastern section of the beach. This is a view from the fishing pier. There were quite a few folks fishing from the pier as birds looked for every opportunity to grab their catch.


One of many seagrape trees along the silky white sand.


This is a quiet part of the Island at least at this time of the year.



Darkening clouds rolling by. Another look at Ft Myers Beach to the left, Bonita Beach across from the beach walker and then Naples to the far right.
