It's all about the sunsets and the nature:
After an hour walk down the beach:
This is a BABY osprey on it's nest just outside our door. It called for it's mama ALL DAY!
It finally got the nerve to fly...but it soon went right back to it's nest...and cried some more!
And yes, I'm SURE this is the baby, not the mama!!!
Just
Just a short boat ride away is Cayo Costa. No one was there...
But back on Captiva, sunset is a huge deal...
Manatees at the marina when we got back with their boat....

Those manatees are pretty cool. What was it like to see them in person?

Afro, they are very docile. You are able to get really close to them, but they just kind of float around slowly...not active animals. They look like big potatoes to me! I usually saw them cruising the shoreline in the afternoons and I could get to within a few feet of them before they would slowly move away. Pretty awesome!
