The pre-sunrise colors were so dramatic yesterday. I love how this Great Egret stood tall with the beautiful colors all around him. They are such regal birds. ~Docks by the Bridge Street Pier (9-29-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

🌅👣🩷 So many beautiful layers after sunset last night. The clouds, the waves, the reflections… and I absolutely love all the footprints in the sand. ~ Holmes Beach (9-30-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

Wave after wave of gorgeousness after sunset tonight. I loved how they were rolling in, one right after the other. ~Holmes Beach (9-30-26)❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

There were so many Snowy Egrets along the shore this morning. It was so beautiful with the moon still bright high in the sky. ~ Cortez Beach-Bradenton Beach (9-29-26) ❤️

Wow…such a dramatic sky before sunrise this morning. Unintentional 360° video when Bob the Great Blue Heron came squawking into the scene. I just had to follow him, lol. ~Docks by the Bridge Street Pier (9-29-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

Love how the dock points straight into the gorgeous, soft colors in pre-sunrise sky this morning. ~Coquina Boat Ramp (9-28-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

🌕❤️ Beautiful Harvest Full Moon setting this morning on Bean Point. I love the reflection on the shore and all the bonus birds. The ones in front are willets…they have always been one of my favorites since we moved here. ~AMI-north end (9-26-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

🐚❤️ So many beautiful shells this morning. There was a line of them along the shore and I gathered up a few, making a pretty little collage. ~ Coquina Beach (9-25-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

[Angie Blunt @smile1fish]

❤️So fun to see these two manatees hang out so close for quite a while today. Watch for them both coming up for air, nose to nose, around 30 seconds in…so cool. ~ South end of Anna Maria-bay side (9-24-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland #manatees

💛 The sky dance of the snowy egrets. I was photographing one perched high on a tree when another swept in. They looked like ballerinas with a beautiful cloud backdrop. ~ Beer Can Island-across from AMI (9-22-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

Beautiful sunrise this morning as it rose above the low-hanging clouds. Love the reflection along the shore.~AMI-north end (9-21-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

❤️🌈 We had the most beautiful double rainbow last night that you could see from all around the area…it lasted so long! Had to get in on it with the selfie kiss with my husband Doug 😘.(9-19-26) 🌈❤️ #annamariaisland

❤️ Bob, the Great Blue Heron, was the star of the show early this morning. It still amazes me that you can walk right by them on the beach. When we lived in Ohio, we saw them, but always from a distance. ~ Holmes Beach (9-19-26) 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

💜 Another view of the railroad vines (aka beach morning glories) in full morning bloom around Justin’s memorial bench. They open early and fold as the day goes on. ~ Holmes Beach (9-16-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland

❤️🐬 So incredible to see this dolphin come fairly close to shore this morning. This woman knew it was there and just calmly watched it swimming around. Stay tuned…at 30 seconds in, it showed up right in front of her! ~ Holmes Beach (9-16-26) ❤️ 📷 Angie Blunt #annamariaisland
