Independence Day at Caspersen Beach

The Gulf of Mexico colored by the light of the sun.

Samantha, Drew, Jayden, and Sam's boyfriend Derek in the water.

A bird skimming the water looking for a meal.

Two birds flying inches above the water with a boat passing in the background.

A boat going past near the horizon.

What is that sticking out of the water...?

Why, it's a dolphin!

The kids enjoyed watching as the dolphin swam past them.

A look at the colorful sky (with a random couple in the picture).

Another shot of the colorful clouds.

A look down the beach as the color faded away.

Derek and Sam in the water.

The sky darkening up  as it neared time for the fireworks to begin.

The Venice pier.

Finally, what we've been waiting for! Fireworks!
