Cedar Key

Dolphin sunset. Number 4 bridge.
Dawn from the balcony, 6:54 AM

 I went outside



 

 
 Seaweed on the dock from Saturday's very high, high tide

 
Back to Unit 331 for breakfast

On the water at 8:52



 
 
 

 

 Empty nest on Atsena Otie
 Or, the eagles were laying low.


 



 


 White pelicans
The wreck in the Number 2 Channel.  The previous day, just the tip of the spar was showing at high tide.  Go back to the prior Tale to see it.  Or not see it.


 
 






 Oyster catchers







 Belted kingfisher

Never stays around for long


 





 




 




 





 Scale Key. Tide too low to get closer

Number 3 Bridge
 These guys were stuck






 Nest building

 









 


 























 The other side of Scale Key


 Eagles were not home









Landed at 1:00.
 
Lunch

Visiting grackle

Walk to get beer



 





 



 


 


 








Now, why was I on this stroll?
Oh yeah, beer.
 


I decided to take pictures of lamps



 
 



 

 Saw a hummingbird in the berries below my balcony

 
 Rough on the Gulf, so I went to the Number 4 Bridge for a late afternoon paddle
 








 

 


 
 
 
 

 
 


 


 







 




Darn dolphin took me on the wrong side of the bridge for sunset.
 

 Landed at 8:14
 
"Home" at 8:48
Dinner, an hour later.
