If you ever have the opportunity to visit Naples or Marco Island on Florida's Gulf Coast...DO IT!

I don't know this guy; I just thought it would be a cool picture. He had no idea I was even there with my camera.

Looking across an inlet at the Delnor-Wiggins State Park beach. The water was fabulous. We spent quite a bit of time in the Gulf this afternoon, and I don't even like being in the ocean!

This might be my personal favorite of all the pictures I took in Naples, underneath the Naples Pier.
Shore birds abound here. I saw HUGE pelicans (second in size only to the great California condor), sea osprey, egrets, herons, and of course, seagulls.
