Most of my posts are about pleasant things -- with the occasional rant about things that perturb me!

HUTCHINSON ISLAND (Florida)

Hutchinson Island is an unspoiled beach on Florida's east coast. Several species of endangered sea turtles, such as the Loggerhead, the Green Turtle, and the Leatherback, come to this beautiful beach each year to lay their eggs. I spent the last couple of days here.

I woke up to this beautiful sunrise. A flock of Ibis having fun on the beach. The beaches in this area are just magnificent!
Not a bad view from my hotel balcony!
Besides the beautiful beach, I also encountered this
lovely pair of Sandhill Cranes!
