Barefoot Beach Florida 5-26-09

Hello Folks,

Went out to Barefoot Beach to check out this evening sunset. Unfortunately, sunset wasn't very exciting since the sun ended up slipping behind a bank of clouds, but the walk on the beach was still quite nice. Sunset and Low Tide ended up being at the same time of day, which made walking the beach quite nice.

Below is a picture of a Duck on the beach. In 20+ years of walking the beaches down here, I have never seen a Duck on the beach, but HEY ... there is a first for everything.

Below is a picture of a Stingray in the water. From May 1st to October 1st is Stingray Season on the Gulf Coast Beaches. If you are wading out into the water it is best to shuffle your feet so that you do not step on these guys. They can be quite painfull.
