Grocery Shopping Monday

This evening there was loud thunder for over an hour, with the sun shining. When it was time to leave for some grocery shopping, it began to sprinkle rain, but the sun continued to shine. Seemed like a perfect time to do shopping if it's going to rain anyway. I felt sure there would be beautiful clouds to look at on the way. I was right! It started raining more just as we left the island.

Made a run to Burger King for the fast food craving; after that was taken care of, went on to Publix. (You never want to go there when you're hungry. I've done that before.)


Clouds over lighthouse area.

Looking over San Carlos Bay to Sanibel Harbour Resort near the east end of the causeway. This resort is not on Sanibel.


The clouds were spectacular all the way.




The drive back across the causeway was beautiful again. Going over, the clouds had been white and dark blue, now the sun was setting and the red glow was changing the colors rapidly. The first thing I noticed was a rainbow over the Punta Rassa area. I just kept looking from one side of the causeway to the other and snapping pictures. Wow, I had a lot of them to sort through because I could only put a few on the blog. It was hard deciding which ones to use. I hope you enjoy seeing the cloud photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

This is a look back at Sanibel Harbour Resort again.
