Exploding Horizon

With the heavy cloud cover, I think the setting sun looked like an explosion on the horizon.

Sanibel Skies

A great way to begin the new year, was to look at the evening, Sanibel sky from the causeway.

Strange Sky

I was driving south in Indiana to one of my daughter's for Christmas. The sky looked really strange in the west and in the south, there was a bright, dark yellow streak. I think some of the streaks across the sky were vapor trails that had spread out. Not sure, but it was fun looking at it as I drove.

Sanibel Island Sky After Sunset

Sanibel Island sky after sunset.

Pink Explosion

This sky looked like there was a pink explosion, just behind the Sanibel Causeway.

Sunset Sanibel

Sanibel was cloudless today, but the sunset was still beautiful.

Evening Skies Over Sanibel

Even if you are late viewing the sunset, there are usually beautiful skies over Sanibel in the evening.

Odd House under an Odd Cloud

During a walk last week on Bonita Beach, I noticed the futuristic look of this house, with it's curved windows. A big fluffy cloud was in the background, also with a curve that made it look like it belonged right there with the house.

Lazy Old Sun

Just another Sanibel Sunset....taken this evening. Enlarge to enjoy the sun and shells.

The 'Grim Reaper'

These photos were taken at night in the month of July, during a bad thunderstorm. At first the dark clouds and lightning looked very threatening, but then the clouds took on a little different look, after taking a whole series of photos; it was surprising to see what appears to be the 'Grim Reaper' pointing the finger in the direction of the camera. I wonder what that meant?? Everyone here is still alive, thank goodness. I thought these photos would work well for the end of October. You must click on the photos and enlarge them to see the image.

After Sunset

The end of sunset this evening taken at resident access 1 on West Gulf Drive, from the beach on Sanibel Island, Florida. It was a different looking sky, because usually we see fingers of light coming through the clouds. This time there were fingers of clouds covering the light. It was truly beautiful just after the sun went down.

Sanibel Down Under

Approaching Thunder Storm

Yesterday evening the clouds were so pretty and pink. It was hard to believe that they actually produced thunder and lightning, just after I took these photos.

Sunrise on West End of Sanibel Island

After being out on the beach, at Blind Pass, Sanibel/Captiva; shelling from 3 AM with a flashlight, it was good to see the sun starting to come up. The sky was beautiful. This was during the high surf associated with Hurricane Ike.

Threatening Clouds

This was taken on a west gulf beach, this evening, on Sanibel Island.

Fay leaves some clouds lingering behind!

I took these photos from the deck on the evening Tropical Storm Fay was making her exit.

Sunrise on the Gulf

This is one of my favorite sunrise pictures taken from Sanibel Island Lighthouse Beach. It was taken about 3 months ago.
