This one’s for Karen … thanks for reminding me of the awesome beachcombing on Sanibel Island. Drfitwood stark against the white sand melting into that amazing turquoise gulf… nothing around for miles except the egrets…
and yeah, I’ve had a few… but then again, too few to mention…

    Anything you find to like about one of my pics makes my day.
    That textured foreground is just the amazing Sanibel combination of driftwood and sand… kinda does its own Photoshop thing!

    You should so do more of these wonderful peaceful images……….
    Love the bird flapping away……..gorgeous colours and I just want to be there, like a vision of my happy place come to life………….
    I guess we all need a happy place, so cool to see yours BB!!
    ( I have another vision in my head of you in those old fashioned shorts/beachwear laying back on the sand lol )
    Dream on! xxx

  • Tracey, beachware is not necessary on Sanibel… unless that guy in the sailboat’s got like REALLY powerful bonoculars… which is why it`s a happy place for so many. Most of whom probably get arrested for indecent exposure.

    But yeah, outside my Sanctuary, this place is pretty much a happy place for me… conjures up lots of sweet moments. Seems there was so much time to enjoy happy places back then.

    Thanx for the suggestion… yeah, maybe I should do more like this… and for the fav!!

    Where is Sanibel Island? It looks a magical place. Stunning shot and capture. Well done.

  • Hi Elana!
    Sanibel is on the southwest coast of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, about the same level as Lake Okeechobee… and it is turly magical. such fine grained white sand backed by strips of woodland and dotted with awesome driftwood sculptures. Very little commercial activity except a couple of rustic pizza joints and few stores.
    And the coolest thing about Sanibel is that the morning after one of the typical midsummer T-storms over the gulf, beachcombing for shells is to die for. You should def check it out!
    Thanx for the compliment!
