Feeding the Beach January 29, 2014

This winter, the beaches on Anna Maria Island are being re-nourished by sand dredged from the Gulf of Mexico.
Engineers are feeding the beach using enormous pieces of equipment and massive pipes to dredge, suction, and sift piles of sand.
Bulldozers move in to push and shove the sifted and shifted sand into position once ashore.
BFF and I went out to inspect the progress. They are moving right along.
Aah . . . that’s better!
Now for some really amazing nature shots . . . check out the Winners of the Nature Conservancy Photo Contest. They are GORGEOUS!
