I enjoyed the visit to Cabbage Key and Useppa islands, they were so idyllic. Maybe I'll end up retiring there.







And on the way to Cabbage Key, we got dolphins riding the surf. They are wonderful creatures.



I really wanted to see a spoonbill, and when I didn't see any for 12 days I thought I was out of luck. Then, day 13 (lucky for some!), there were about 15 of them roosting on Sanibel island.



I was very, very happy with this picture of a cormorant, as I have to be the slowest camera-button-presser in the world and I almost always miss shots like this!

Still some more...
