They Can’t All Be Winners

Day 55 of 365 (Year Two)

Not much in the way of a sunset for tonight. Apparently the Island Gods are sad to see me go and the sky reflected that. It was clear all day long, but when it came time for me to head out and shoot the sunset, this showed up.

It wasn’t all bad though. I got some cool long exposure beach shots (note to self – get a filter so you don’t have to wait for near darkness and get a circular polarizer). Those will probably have to wait till I return home.

Anyway it was our last night here and I was going to the beach to shoot the sunset hour regardless of the blasted bad weather. I had the beach to myself and even with the cloud cover it was a nice experience. I did see one jogger but he ran on by with a quick hello and how do you do and then was gone. It is kind of nice having a beach all to yourself as far as they eye can see. It was a nice way to end the day and a vacation (although we still have most of tomorrow before we have to leave for the airport).

We spent the day at Ding Darling Bird Reserve which was cool but left my poor camera feeling like the runt of the litter. There were 40D’s, 1D’s, 5D’s and don’t get me started on the lenses! Uggg! There was L glass everywhere and 500mm and 600mm lenses all around me. And then there I was with my little 300mm. One day is all I have to say. They are real serious about their gear down here. Even the guys who only do it as a hobby.

All in all this was a great vacation. I’m not much of a "lets spend the day on the beach" kind of guy. Daytona doesn’t have much appeal to me. I can do Ocean City for a fraction of the cost and be just as crowded and irritated with the hustle and bustle. This was peaceful and calm and quiet. The beaches were tranquil and clean. There were no large groups of rowdy drunks and college kids looking for scantily clad ladies. Then there were the dolphins and birds and gators and all the rest of the wildlife, and the fauna as well. We fit a lot into three days and I can’t think of a single bad day. That to me is a successful vacation.

It would have been nice to have internet access at the house, but I’ve grown quite attached to the Sanibel Bean parking lot in the middle of the night and the cops are so used to me now they don’t even stop. I just wish the good folks at the Sanibel Bean would leave their satellite radio tuned to something other than light jazz. I’m really not a big jazz fan and they apparently leave it on 24/7 so I am hearing it the entire time I am sitting here.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Shortly after finishing up with the description a cop rolled in and gave me the third degree about why I was there. It wasn’t the same officer as the first night and this guy really had no concept of wireless connections, the internet or how to access it. Once he found out that I was a temporary resident of the Island though, he left me alone. I wasn’t breaking any laws and the Sanibel Bean does advertise their 24 hour access even though the shop itself is closed. I guess on the Island they don’t really expect people to be sitting there at 2AM.

Question by Lindsie ♥: Weather in Florida ( Daytona Beach area )?
I have another question about Florida. I’m just trying to get as much information as possible. I was woundering how was the weather around Daytona Beach, FL area .. I vacationed there before and during my stay there was no rain. I heard that it will rain for like an hour and then it will be nice and sunny right after. Is that true? And is it mostly sunny and nice down there throughout the year?

Best answer:

Answer by mccoyblues
During the heat of the summer it rains almost every day but the rains are short and within one hour of the rain stopping you would not know it has rained. Of course there are some days when it storms and the entire day is wasted but that is rare.

It’s hot, humid and sunny almost every day during the summer.

What do you think? Answer below!

Persistent drought to linger across southern United States
La Niña has kept storms and most of their precipitation in the north, leaving the South drier than normal.
