I took this photograph mid morning during a falling tide on an uninhabited, Ft. Pierce, Florida beach. The iPhone is "looking" SE. The NE wind is strong, swaying the sea oats and dune grasses. The scene must be much like what survivors of the ill fated, 1715 Spanish "Plate Fleet" encountered when their ships grounded and sank offshore. It's magical at night under the moon.
A sure sign of summer, a locust shell hanging on a small tree trunk, complete with a few grains of Florida sand.
I have no idea how old this tree is; it may have been alive at the time 11 treasure-laden Spanish galleons sank just a mile away off Vero Beach, Florida during a hurricane in September, 1715. Twisted and expansive, regal and calm, it represents survival in the finest sense.
I have recently learned this tree is almost 900 years old.

Better head indoors as a storm is coming our way! Luckily this storm passed quickly, but made for some amazing photos!
I shot this from the beach in Vero Beach, Florida. The Atlas V 411 configuration rocket launched the Solar Orbiter. The Solar orbiter is equipped with 10 instruments to study the Sun in great detail. It will orbit the Sun at a distance of about 26 million miles (42 million km).
A spider along the trail who was waiting patiently for an insect to be ensnared in its carefully woven web.

A Brown Anole with its dewlap extended. This is usually preceded by a jerky bobbing of the head. This activity is said to be a territorial or defensive behavior as well as being involved in males attracting mates. Brown Anoles are an invasive species that oringinated in Cuba and are now found throughout Florida and even into Georgia. They have displaced the native Green Anole which now survive in the higher treetops.
Fall in Florida. We may not have the amazing fall foliage with all the vibrant colors, but we do have amazing sunsets. This is a photo taken on the Indian River during sunset. Vibrant pinks and blues light up the sky and reflect on the water. Yes, this is Fall - Florida style!
Night time grudgingly giving way to the first glimmers of daylight. The Atlantic just visible beyond the dunes.

The Cuban Anole, also called the Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei, is an invasive species in Florida that was native to Cuba and the Bahamas. The species is very invasive and has severely impacted the population of Carolina Anoles which are native to the Treasure Coast and South Florida. The Brown Anoles were first introduced in the 1940's and have become the dominant anole in many parts of Florida.
An insect that was climbing on some a flowering lantana plant. I am unsure of the species identification. It could be a variety of stink bug, or it may be a spined soldier bug. If anyone knows the id please comment.
