Through the Lens: Captiva

Here's the last of the photos from our brief trip to Captiva

{do you think we took enough?}

These are from Peter

and were taken with his new fish eye camera!

Driving over!

In my pretty white dress....

which was the only thing I had that weekend.

Because I forgot my bag.

Smart girl.

The view from our unit

My Papou is a hipster.

Me and sissy!

This is a picture of my brostaki.

{and his nostrils.}

I don't know why we laid out on the golf course.

But it happened.

Watching the sunset together...

definitely my favorite night in a long time

and my favorite sunset ever!

One of my favorite shots of the weekend.

The sky was beautiful glorious stunning indescribable

Pretty typical car scene

Papou's always happy

kiddos are always on their phones.

And that's it for Captiva photos
If anyone's interested,
Peter's camera is pretty tiny and awesome.
He purchased a prototype
on a campaign- funding website,
and I have to say,
it's SUPER COOL.

More Captiva

On Sunday,

after a beautiful liturgy at Annunciation Greek Orthodox church,

we headed over to the Island Cow 

We were a bit too late for the breakfast menu,

but given the huge selection of lunch and dinner items, 

along with the availability of mimosas,

no one was too unhappy.

With this guy, again. He is kind of my favorite.

While waiting for a table, 

my Dad and brother started to play some corn hole

Tin even taught Peter how to play!

He couldn't possibly look more all-American if he tried :)

Island Cow is open daily til 10-ish 

{per their menu}

If pineapple french toast sounds like your thing,

get their before 11 am!

{noon on Sundays}

Captiva

Guys, 

we had such an amazing time at Captiva.

The weather could not have been more gorgeous,

the sea could not have been warmer,

and the company could not have been better. 

We set out SUPER early, 

getting up at 5, 

and arriving just in time for breakfast. 

And of course,

We wasted no time hitting the beach!

Oh yes, and this happened.

I love my rainbow-umbrella-toting awesome and confident man 

My Dad and Papou, 

contemplating the mysteries of life...

or what's for dinner

Peter and my Sister...

and the rainbow umbrella, of course

Captiva's beaches are literally crawling with coquinas, 

a beautiful bivalve mollusk that burrows into the sand with a foot-like body

Naturally, Peter had to find them immediately

see the foot thing?? DO YOU SEE IT???

They come in so many colors and patterns!

If you're ever at a beach in Florida,

dig around a bit in the sand right where the waves hit

They can be found on both coasts, as far as I know.

That night, we watched an incredible sunset from the beach...

it was perfect

{in of spite the 27 bug bites I obtained right on my arse}

Being artsy fartsy and crap

Just look at that sky. LOOK AT IT.

And that face.

And that sky and that face {or the back of it, anyway)

Somehow it seems the sunset becomes even more stunning once the sun has slipped away behind the water

The sky turns deeps shades of blue, purple and blush

and the tips of the clouds look as if they were delicately painted by an impressionist.

Hope you guys are having an awesome short week.

Did you catch any ridiculous sunsets?

Hit any pretty beaches?
