Palmetto and crescent moon. Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. August 23, 2012

Day at The Beach

Yesterday we spent the entire day on the beach and in the gulf. The weather was beautiful and the water was gorgeous. Had a late lunch at Fisherman's Wharf. The grilled scallops were delish. Today is our last day here. It's been an awesome week!

Emerald Isle condo. Our room is on the 6th floor to the left.

Fishing pier in Ft. Walton Beach. We went there the other day and saw several dolphins.

The red flag was raised yesterday afternoon due to lightning in the area.

A gorgeous sunset capped off a fantastic day!

Crescent Moon

Yesterday after a wonderful day at the beach and at the pool, we headed out for an anniversary dinner at a place called the Black Pearl. When we got back to the condo I set up my camera and tripod on the balcony and got this shot of the crescent moon over the ocean. The three bright objects in a triangle shape are Mars, Saturn and the star Spica. Spica is the 15th brightest star in the sky.
