Linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
With this post I am taking you back to Florida, a lovely sunset at Siesta Key Beach and some birds from the area.
Above are a Ruddy Turnstone and a Sanderling seen on the Vienna Beach, Florida.
We saw lots of Pelicans flying by at the Vienna Beach.
I like this shot of the pier with the flag and pretty sky. We also saw a group of dolphins swimming near the pier. They are always a happy sight for me to see.
This pelican was enjoying the Gulf of Mexico beautiful clear water.
Our sunset on the same day was seen at the Siesta Key Beach. A very pretty beach with beautiful sand.
Siesta Key beach is very popular and there were many people out enjoying the beach and sunset.
I really loved the clouds and the reflection in this photo above.
When I looked at the photo above it looks as though there is a hand holding the sun. I see a thumb and fingers? What do you see?
After the sunset and heading back to our car I saw the last bird seen during our visit to Siesta Key. I believe this is a Semipalmated Plover.
I hope you enjoyed my birds and sunset. Thanks for visiting my post and blog and I always appreciate your comments.
Happy Skywatching to everyone!

Love these shore birds, the pretty scenery and that gorgeous sky. Thanks Eileen, even seeing everything at the ocean in pictures makes me feel so good :)
ReplyDeleteI like that pier shot too Eileen the way you led us down the pier to then fall off the end! Beautiful sunsets too.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible sunset! Love the clear blue water and white sand on the west coast!
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss the beach! I haven't visited a beach in years. Your photos made me realize how much I do miss the sand and lovely water!
ReplyDeleteGreat birds, sky, sunset photos from the beach. That pier photo reminds me of the pier at Ocean Isle which we photograph ALOT....
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy

ReplyDeleteMore lovely shots! I really like the sunset with the grasses. And yes, I did see the "hand" holding the sun before I read your caption. Great capture!
ReplyDeleteHope the stormy weather passed you by without incident.
A fabulous series of captures Eileen. I do like the shot of the 3 pelicans gliding just above the water, and continue to be surprised that these birds are brown in the northern hemisphere; Pelicans in Australia are white. Thanks for sharing the beauty in your region of the world.
ReplyDeleteStunning sunset and I love the pelican shots. Each photo is a gem!
ReplyDeleteFantastic captures of one of the best beaches on Florida's westcoast.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Eileen!
Hi Eileen, A lovely area and neat beach. Super white sugar sand. I last was there twenty-five years ago so I am due to go again some day soon. I sure like your pictures - especially so of the Pelicans. Have a wonderful Friday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThe beach looks very nice place with glorious sunset.
ReplyDeleteWow, Eileen. These photos are all so beautiful. I can almost touch the water and the sky shots are breath taking.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the pelicans flying - the composition!

ReplyDeleteStunning pictures lovely the pelican always reminds me of my holidays in America. Have a fun weekend
ReplyDeleteWonderful Florida skies and birds.
ReplyDeleteDearest Eileen,
ReplyDeleteWonderful and stunning pictures of bech and sunset♡♡♡
I went to see fireflies the other night. I wished the pictures of the flying. So before that, I consulted the camera maker's support center how to take photos of them and also moon and sky (mode and zoom); result were terrible or so funny that I found that I should give up with my type of camera p;)
I can finally see these gorgeous ones are for you guys "know how and with quality of camera" p;)
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
I especially like the image of the flags on the pier.
ReplyDeleteDivine shots ~ lovely skies and birds and great composition and colored skies !
ReplyDeleteLovely pier shot,it will make a great subject at sunrise or sunset if the angle is right.
