So when they visit during our winter dry season, they have certain expectations about sun and clear blue sky – and, most of all, no excuses!

The smoke is mostly from prescribed burning in the Big Cypress and Everglades. Moisture conditions have been just right for controlled burns.
That’s formed a fog bank off the coast that rolls onshore during the evening.

Halfway there ran into the fog bank.
Talk about a micro climate!
The air turned cold and damp, and since a sunset was now out of the question, we turned back – Plan B it would be: Sudgen Park.
The next day we made it to the beach and got our blue sky.
But out on the water, in the distance, sneaking in from the horizon – the fog bank was back on the prowl.
Or was that smoke?
Sometimes in south Florida we get both.
