Willet on Beach

Captiva Beach - Captiva Island, Florida
March 30th, 2022
I was out with my family walking the Captiva Beach after just arriving in Sanibel for a family vacation. I spotted this Willet walking the beach in search of small crabs and other small bits of food for a late afternoon meal. He was chasing the water in and out and hunting the ground as the water receded to the ocean. I got down on my belly in the soft sand and grabbed this image. I love the softness of the shot and how the Willet extended his legs wider for a better stance as the waves of foam came in around his legs.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
