After a morning of cloud cover and rain, some of the resident lizards at Shoreline Park's boat launch came out on a Saturday afternoon to soak in some warmth from the rocks.
Palm trees, bicycles, flip flops, pelicans, skateboards, fishing boats and dolphins... this small peninsula town of almost 6,000 residents wedged between Pensacola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico is defined by salt water and live oaks, sand and sun, and the occasional hurricane. The landscape shaped - then re-shaped - by storms past... the ocean, sound and bay offering a visual feast of color and motion that is never the same from one day to the next. For most, Gulf Breeze is a place to pass through on the way to somewhere else, and for them, the unique character of this town and its people goes unnoticed...
I particularly love that green lizard. I can really appreciate that primal search for sunlight.
