Weekend Ready

 

 I think one of these chairs has my name on it this weekend. 

 Happy Friday!

Quick Change

The entire SDP team ventured out for sunset Thursday night on Sarasota Bay.  We were poised for an incredible sunset, when all of a sudden a small cloud materialized next to the setting sun and quickly expanded into a very large cloud blocking the sun. (As the SDP Jr. Editor observed, it grew like Aladdin being released from his lamp.  The Editor-in-Chief, on the other hand, viewed it more as a map of Scotland, with Mother Nature paying homage to Sarasota's Scottish roots.) Anyway, the glow of the yellow-orange sunbeams radiating from behind the cloud and reflecting off the clouds above was quite impressive. Goes to show...you never know for sure what you're going to get with a sunset here. Happy Saturday!

The Big Orange

Have I mentioned we've been having some incredible sunsets this summer?

Happy Hump Day!

Aaah...Anhinga!

An anhinga drying its wings just before sundown on Sarasota Bay.

Aka: bird photographer's delight!
