Sunsets on the Gulf of Mexico

December 7, 2022 /

I don’t always get up early enough to see the sunrises at the beach but I can always catch the sunset. When you go to the beach in the fall and winter, between the time zone and it being in the central time zone, sunsets come early. In fact, it is all the way dark by 5 PM. I have taken so many pictures of sunsets that this year I tried to focus on trying to compose the pictures with interesting pieces whether nature or man made.

The picture above is my typical sunset picture. Beautiful sun and beach! The following picture is compliments of my oldest! I like how he used part of someone’s porch as part of his picture.

The condominium complex has this little expanse of grass in front of the building over the water and it makes for some nice pictures especially if you do not want to walk all the way down to the beach. Those steps are great exercise but mama mia, when someone forgets something or needs to be accompanied to the bathroom, you get tired of them.

The remains of one of the boys’ sandcastle made this shot more interesting. They had the grandest time making sculpture and see how long it would take for the waves to knock them down.

We never rent chairs even though it would be kind of nice not to have to lug ours down but I always feel like they would a nice upgrade!

It was fun to see different families take family pictures on the beach. Trying to get all of us to agree and take some would take too much effort so I usually settle for a picture of all of the boys in front of our favorite fountain in Watercolor and a couple shots of my husband and I.

Hope you enjoyed these pictures!

A bientôt!
