Deep blue skies and fluffy white clouds over the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with a quintessential Florida sugar sand beach in the foreground. A tall palm tree watches over all.

Wish you were here.

Deep blue skies over the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico with gentle waves lapping against the shoreline of the beach and an old tree, stripped of its leaves and moorings from the effects of the elements.

The beauty and harshness of nature

Deep blue skies and white fluffy clouds over the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico contrast with the stark white sand and a stand of wind-stripped trees in the foreground.

Breathe.

Ruins from Fort Dade on Egmont Key. A military garrison built during the Spanish-American War in 1898 is only accessible by boat and is off the coast of Fort Desoto in St. Petersburg Florida. In the foreground standing on the shore is a Snowy Egret. Turquoise and blue water of the Gulf of Mexico is behind the structure. Blue sky and some light white clouds above it all.

Deep blue skies and white fluffy clouds over the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico contrast with the stark white sand and a stand of sea oats in the foreground. In the distance, a lone white sailboat with sails furled reaches to touch the clouds.

White cirrus clouds in a turquoise sky, above the green Gulf of Mexico waters. In the foreground, a white sand beach sprouts a small stand of storm stripped trees, their branches black against the sky.

Happy Blue Sky Monday from Egmont Key, a haunted island in the Gulf of Mexico 😳

This is a lighthouse at Egmont Key in Florida, an island off the coast of Fort Desoto. The picture was taken at the base of the lighthouse tower looking upwards to the top. Blue sky with white clouds above.

I hope you have a good #blueskymonday

I visited Egmont Key last summer, long before Hurricane Milton devastated the island. Hopefully it will be reopened to visitors soon! #haunted #cemetery #history #floridahistory #egmontkey #civilwar #civilwarsoldiers
