there's water at the beach

Any excuse to photograph water, I'm in! Especially when it's a lighthearted and flexible challenge for August . Thank you very much, chantler63 : ^ )

I had fun on this hot day in Florida, catching some breeze and some pics at Whitney Beach on Longboat Key, which is a barrier island. From Wikipedia: Notable current and former residents of Longboat Key include:
Al Arbour, four-time Stanley Cup-winning former coach of the New York Islanders
Lou Bender (1910–2009), pioneer player with the Columbia Lions and in early pro basketball, who was later a successful trial attorney
Nick Bollettieri, founded Bradenton's Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in 1978 and groomed such champions as Andre Agassi and Monica Seles
Marcella Hazan, Italian cooking instructor and cookbook author
Charlie Maxwell, former Major League Baseball player for the Detroit Tigers, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox
Ed Miracle, artist
Frank Mockler, 47th Governor of American Samoa

Lee Scott, former CEO of Wal-Mart
Maria Sharapova, Russian professional tennis player and multiple Grand Slam singles champion, who was also coached by Nick Bollettieri

: ) I have a few more photos from this beautiful beach here. I love the boardwalk that leads you there. It was hard to decide today which one to add to my journal! Thanks for stopping by.
