We decided to take a trip down to the beach at Manasota Key this evening to watch the sunset. Even after all these years of watching sunsets, I still find it fascinating and marvel at the changes in colour and hue of the sea, the beach, the palm trees and the sky. There are obviously still just as many others who enjoy this spectacle too. The beach was busy, even at 7:45pm, it is still hot and there were plenty of people enjoying the last rays of sunshine and even some having a swim.
We walked along the beach for half a mile or so and turned back to watch and capture the sunset. As we walked along, we passed many areas of the beach which have been taped off to protect the turtle hatching areas. I am always amazed and pleasantly surprised how good my fellow humans are at avoiding disturbing the hatching zones. Sort of restores your faith in humanity...!Manasota Key is a busy little area with several shops, restaurants and bars, and numerous boat hire centres and is popular as a 
vacation centre.
