Bonita Springs, Florida

We tried Bonita Springs but the water was strange and green from the draining of Lake Okeechobee.  On the plus side the sand and water were teeming with life. A handful of sand could yield several dozen living mussels.  Sand dollars coated the gulf floor. 

Unfortunately our trip was cut short by a storm. We really didn’t want to go, so we hung on til the absolute last minute.

It rolled in pretty quickly with high winds, and heavy rain. It was absolutely beautiful to watch.
