Reflectged glory on the Sanibel lighthouse beach, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Sunset and moonrise will happen at about the same time tonight – I think I have about a half hour more of this bliss before it grows too dark to be here.

Beach bean sprouting, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. I believe this is the seeed of the black mangrove tree. I saw them all over the beach last week too, only now they are sprouting. Since I am mobile, I cannot look it up easily at the moment but I will when I get home and add a comment to this post to confirm. Dang, I should carry a field guide…
Lighthouse beach transformed, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. What a different beach from last week! I’ve come to catch a glimpse of the full harvest moon when it rises. There must have been some storm that washed this beach clean immediately after the dunes. The blowing wind creates sandy waves and makes y beer bottle sing. I fully expect a tumbleweed to roll by.

Tanins near the Edison Pier, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. There must be mangroves nearby, for the river is tinted a rusty red near Edison’s Pier. This was the very first structure built on the estate.
Sanibel Beach near the Pointe Santo resort, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. There are lots of waves hitting the Sanibel Island beaches, and a wonderful breeze but no shells! It doesn’t matter, though – I’m really happy to have spent an hour roaming the beach.
Walking out to the beach, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. The Gulf has some waves – off to investigate!
It was a beautiful afternoon on the docks, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. We had a lovely time. The sun was warm, the breeze was steady and the child only got into trouble 4,387 times The Isle of Long is indeed beautiful this time of year.
Gazebo on the bay, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. The Loverly Isle of Long sure is loverly This would be a nice place for special occasion photos. There’s also a narrow blacktop path that would be good as part of a running route through the neighborhood.
