March winds on the Sanibel Island Causeway

On Wednesday, i showed you a calm, peaceful sunset as viewed from a Sanibel Island causeway beach. Here’s what that same beach looks like when March blows in like a lion – complete with haiku!
After seeing friends,
I stop along the causeway
beaches, reluctant
to leave the island
just yet. The punishing wind
rips through pines and palms.
Whitecaps advance and
break in rapid succession
on the sandy shore.
I get my shots and
quickly get back in the car,
bones profoundly chilled.

Those are nice, Tink. I think I was there for a minute, it reminded me of being on the causeway to Key West. Come up here, it is chilly again for a couple of days. I think it is headed your way.
Happy Sky Looking, I have a picture of our little lake today.

Quickly get back in the car – I like that!
Those trees really are blowing around, aren’t they?

Just as it should be at the beach!

I would give anything to be on a beach right now, but instead I’m stuck in Ohio where the weather cannot decide if it wants to stay warm or get colder!

That looks like some pretty intense wind!! Very creative haiku.

Nice windy shots.

Ths skies are beautiful, a cloudless day not necessarily the best sky. The Gulf offers lots of nautical clouds to make the sky interesting. And whitecaps on the Gulf – I don’t know if that’s common. On LI Sound, you never see them…

I remember when we lived in FL and people would come for a visit in the wintertime. They always wanted to go the beach-I would tell them it was freezing but they would want to go anyways, most times I would just wait in the car until they were throughly frozen.
great photos & haiku

I always enjoy watching white caps dance across the water

Great captures. You can really see the wind blowing in the trees.

I love how those palm fronds really tell the story of strong winds.

Shall we build some sand castles together on that beach

It looks bone-chilling cold, even if you are in Florida!

Great post, tink! It must be scary when the wind whips up like that on an island…
Also The Irish Spring commercial – I think the idea is to shower with Irish spring, put on the green underpants (which Irish Spring may or may not send to you) and for the rest of the day you smell like Irish Spring a soap that has a very strong scent… Look u0p Irish Spring on the web and see that there is a lot of discussion about the scent… HA!

Sorry to be visiting so late, but I’ve been ill and haven’t done much of anything for a week or so. I’m doing what I can to catch up today. I do love the way you’ve shared your lovely photos with haiku this week.
Hugs and blessings,

Oh wow, look at those white caps! I don’t blame you for getting back into the car quickly. Very nicely captured. Thank you so much for playing along.
