A Nice Sanibel Evening

Sanibel was in the news today. A female landscaper, 56 years old, was pulling weeds in a man-made lagoon today around noon, when a gator bit her hand. By kicking the alligator, she was able to get away. She needed medical attention, but is doing ok now. The alligator was about 6' 7" long, weighed around 100 lbs and was caught and taken away by trappers.

This evening it was pretty nice on the beach, as far as temperature goes. It got up to 91 today, but had dropped back down to the low 80's with an east wind and the sun well hidden in a cloudy sky. I didn't stay long because there were no shells coming in around resident access 3, off West Gulf Drive.

It was such a nice evening, I decided to drive out to the Sanibel Causeway to watch the sunset. I wasn't sure there would be one, due to the clouds, but it turned out to be well worth the drive.

A bright ray of sunlight was shinning upward.




Even though it was getting dark, the sky was still beautiful.
