Stranger, sharing a sunset

Not sure if he was taking a picture, or just enjoying the view. Don’t suppose it matters much, it was a nice evening at the beach

This hand pump is attached to a fishing pier on Sanibel Island to clean fish etc… I liked the light house and osprey nest in the background.

My family and I spent the weekend on Sanibel Island. We were taking a walk on a local fishing pier when I saw this bird snatching bait from this bait bucket. The kids who owned the gear were swimming, and this guy would sit atop the railing waiting for bait to swim to the top of the bucket. He would then jump off the railing and snatch the bait from the bucket. I’m sure he had a full belly and when the kids returned they had no more bait. It was pretty amusing to watch.
