Small shark caught off of the Sanibel Lighthouse. It's likely some type of sand shark or dogfish because of the teeth.

An Anhinga, also called a Snake Bird because of it's long, thin neck. Perched in a Mangrove tree in Estero Bay.
Note how blue it's eye is!
Sea urchin
Pulled this Sea urchin growing on an old Pen shell up while fishing off the Sanibel Lighthouse. The shell was encrusted with barnacles and some form of thin orange coral.
Resurrection Fern
A fallen tree covered with Resurrection Ferns. The fern is an air plant that attaches itself to other plants and gets its nutrients from the air. It gets its name for its ability to survive during long periods of drought. It curls up and appears dead but unfolds at the first sign of moisture.
It was very wet and rainy the day before I took this photo and drizzling an hour before.
