Up at the north beach lagoon, he was trying to get bait fish.

With no success in the lagoon, he went over to the gulf. I never did see him catch anything. I don’t know if his form is bad or not.

Sea oats into the sun.

Trying to nap before the tourists hit the beach.

A manatee was swimming by the fishing pier.

Skimmers were still grabbing the bait fish in the water.

Jim was walking around the snack shop to try to get a better angle on the storm coming in.

Clouds were moving in. At least the wind was cooling things off.

Storm across the water.

Up in the sky.

Looking back from the end of the fishing pier. The storm was coming in from the right.

The tide was low and the threat of rain kept the beach empty (well, almost empty).
My morning in late August started out sunny. The two days before were stormy so I thought I would have been rained out. I headed out anyway thinking I could work on my storm shots if it rained. The clouds started rolling in right before lunch. The beach cleared out after a few sprinkles hit. It only sprinkled for a few minutes at first so I continued to walk around. I could see the heavy rain heading right for the pier so I headed back to my car just before the bottom fell out. Not many birds out but also not a lot of people so it was just nice to be out for the morning.
