This picture was taken while we were visiting my uncle who had alzheimer’s.  He lived in Ft Myers and we drove to Sanibel Island one morning and took this gorgeous picture of the sunrise.  It was the last time we saw my uncle since he has since passed away. The Florida beauty was impressive and I’ll definitely be coming back.  We stayed at one of the SunStream condos and it was absolutely beautiful.
