Sanibel Island, Florida

Many of our friends vacation at the same place every year.  We ask ourselves, “WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?”  As a rule, we almost always go to a new destination.  We love to explore, see new places, and walk new trails.  However, rules are made to be broken, and we have broken this one.  We have returned to two places:  three times each to Brooklyn Lake, near Centennial, Wyoming and to Sanibel Island, Florida.

As we planned our cross-country trip, we jumped at the chance to go back for a fourth visit to Sanibel.  What’s the appeal?  This sums it up:

Walking on the beach – with shells and birds

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Roosts (Wide View)

“All the birds seemed to prefer one old bridge pier to any other, except for a few that liked a scrubby tree on the pier in front of it. (See a closer view of the main roost here and the scrubby tree roost here.)

These are piers for a bridge that was never finished, the South Pennsylvania Railroad Bridge, part of Vanderbilt’s Folly.

The bridge beside it is the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Bridge.

And that’s Harrisburg, PA in the background.”

Wonderful shot! I don’t think the birds are complaining about Vanderbilt’s Folly.
