We left the dock as the sun was rising. Kathy has traveled with me many times. We started our trip by exploring the flats. The morning light was perfect for taking pictures. Next it was off to secret spot number 2, where many sea urchins were collected. Then it was off to lunch on a small island where we observed gopher tortoises in the wild and walked the nature trail on this historic little island. Then we traveled to another isolated stretch of beach to explore for the rest of the afternoon. Another wonderful day on the water with Kathy. Thank you! Capt Brian
The photos are stunning. What a beautiful day.
Thanks for another great day on the water. The photos turned out wonderful, as always. …especially the crab. It was awesome to observe the living mollusks and sea anenomies on the flats, plus the jelly fish. And being able to collect the rose petal tellins, Morton's egg cockles, and sea urchins was great. it was really special to be able to observe the gopher tortoises in the wild!
In one of the last photos, is that an attached pair of Morton's Egg Cockles? Beautiful coloring!
Gail, yes it is.
Great photos! The scallop and crab pics are my favorites! It looks like you were eye-to-eye with the crab 🙂
Love the variety of critters you discovered on this outing – amazing quantity and diversity, and great photography too! Thanks for flying the Florida SEE flag on your site – much appreciated.
