It's another Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan of A Southern Daydreamer. Please visit her beautiful site and feast your eyes on some wonderful outdoor pictures.Our Island Paradise
This is the entrance to our island.
Our island in an aerial shot. We have the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the bay on the other.
This is the Bridge Street Pier. It is a small area with quaint restaurants and specialty shops. On Saturdays they have an open air market. Many will dock their boats and come in for dinner.
This is a view through the mangroves to the beach.
I told you the water is turquoise.
I saved this for last. The sunsets are amazing. We have what they call flash over. Just before the sun sets in the ocean you may see a flash of green. We love to sit on the beach with our glass of wine and just enjoy the beauty.I hope you enjoyed our little tour of our amazing island. We do rent out our island house if anyone is interested. Just contact me and I will give you the information.
Till next time, Happy Decorating

All the best, Lana
These are absolutely amazing photos. The Gulf beaches have always been my favorites my whole life. And these photos remind me how blessed we are to be in Florida in all of this tropical beauty! Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday!
Gorgeous photos...make me think of the Calgon bath commercials "Take Me Away"... I adore the beach. Your island area is somewhere I could live..if there were no hurricanes!
Thanks for sharing your photos with us!
Have a great day
Susan
Beautiful shots, the sunset is amazing. We visit the Florida gulf coast every year (St. George Island) and have fallen in love with it. I'm not familiar with the area you are in, I assume it's further south? Just gorgeous, lucky you! Kathy
Hi Kathleen
YOur island is beautiful! Now where exactly is it? I can just imagine how wonderful it is to sit and enjoy the sunsets, sunrises...the beautiful water.
Thank you for sharing.
I would be interested in having some information on your place.
It looks sooo inviting and especially on this day of snowstorms and 9" accumulations.
Enjoy this lovely day
