The action is really starting to heat up as the carvers are allowed to start the " pound up " for their creations. The " pound up " as it is affectionately known is when the carvers, without any help, position their wooden forms ontheir designated plot of sand. The sand is native to Fort Myers Beach and considered to be some of the best inthe world.

Each wooden form is filled by shovel with sand for 3-4 inches. Then water is poured in the form and the carver then " tamps " the mixture with a 15 pound tamper ! This is brutal, back breaking work which goes on for several hours. As each form is filled to the top the carver then positions another on top of the first. At this point shoveling sand and hoisting buckets of water become even more difficult as some of them are 3 or 4 forms high !

Men and women compete against each other for top honors. No helpers allowed !

The weather has taken a turn for the cooler and some dark menacing clouds threatened to risrupt the hard work of the carvers. The event goes on regardless of the weather !

Crowds are building for the final presentation and judging on Sunday. I'll be there! Hope your enjoying the 2009 Fort Myers Beach Sand Sculpting contest as much as I am !

Fort Myers Beach gardens always surprises me. A few years back I planted a citrus tree with my wife Karen. A lemon tree. The first year we got maybe six or so quite large lemons. Now on its third year these fruits are getting ridiculously large. Larger then an orange, as big as a medium grapefruit.

I wonder how big they will get next season? Nature never ceases to amaze me.

The real lemon is twice as large as this picture. And these citrus trees do not need much. Fort Myers Beach dirt is a sandy loam type of course. They taste good to. This fruit could garnish many gin or vodka tonics!

The 2009 Fort Myers Beach 23rd Annual Sand Sculpting contest Day 3 was Thursday Nov 5, 2009. The individual piles of sand are in place and ready for the carvers to begin ! This picture shows a contestant assembling the forms for her entry. After the forms are in place the carver, without help from otherss ) starts filling the form with sand. After filling several inches of sand the contestant pours water into the form and uses a 15 lb tamper to pack the water/sand mixture. This is brutal work and gets even more difficult as the forms get higher and higher.

The first sculpting involves creation of corporate logos for sponsors. This is done free hand and often involves handing the carver a business card from which they must create an exact replica. In this picture you can see a business card in the left hand of the carver and her design starting to take shape !

The corporate logo pile is located directly in front of the Holiday Inn on the beach side.

Some of the amazing detail on the logos makes wandering among the sculptings a real treat !

After many hours the corporate logo pile begins to take shape !
