Captiva Day 4, body

Walked the middle two days. Arrival and departure days didn’t offer extended beach and island walking.

Best laid plans…

Will start a pre-dawn walk before we load the car this morning and then proceed to breakfast on Sanibel Island as we drive home, i thought last night.

We did have a nice, leisurely morning and still pulled away from ‘Tween Waters by 8:00 AM.

No guilt, even though initially guilt was tempting.

Captiva Day 3, body

Can you say, “happy present moment?”

Everything about this spells “BEACH”. It can also spell, “FLORIDA”.
The shadow from a small seashell… stunning in its size, considering it’s flat on the ground.

Another day on the calendar.

Another day at the beach.

Another day to enjoy and appreciate.

Captiva Day 1, body

Google Maps
Goal is ‘Tween Waters Inn.
Took 30 minutes more than this: traffic plus a 15-minute rest/lunch stop.

Used to love to drive across country.

Those days were glorious and memorable.

These days, however, are the opposite.

A four-hour drive is small when compared to my driving resume.

After 30 minutes, i’m ready for a nap.

Goodness comes to those who watch

8-second video: Close is the bear family. Distant is the horizon. The horizon looks closer than it is because everything here is massive.

The video above was not teed up to have a pine in the foreground. You know why it’s there? It’s because we were retreating to keep a non-threatening distance with momma bear. And when i turned around, it was ‘in the way’ of me trying to capture the family. Turned out decently magical.
