Any day you wake up is a good one!

It looks like we will be staying close to home for awhile. We will be enjoying spring and everything it brings.

It's not a doorway - it's art!

Sunset at Howard Beach is a big event. People stay to watch even though they've been at the park all day. Many come just for the show in the west. It is a spectacular shared events. Only the birds seem unimpressed. Loons swim along very close to shore as the sun begins to dip. Great blue herons casually walk within feet of visitors. Ruddy Turnstones peck at the sand - no idea what they're looking for. Gulls and terns scamper around looking for left overs. Everyone watches as the sun goes lower and lower, hits the horizon, and finally disappears.

The sun has a certain way of shining on the sand at sunset. Every evening at Howard Beach is different.

The beautiful palm trees at Howard Beach symbolize the beauty of Florida. Caught in the rosy rays of the setting sun they reflect the pastel colors of the sunset on the Gulf.
