Fellow blogger “Travel Spirit” has compiled some great photos during her romp across the country in recent weeks, but this set really left me in awe. These are from a sand sculpting competition in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, where imaginations are allowed to run wild. Thanks, TS, for posting these!
This year’s Fort Myers Beach Sand Sculpting Championship was amazing! I’ve never attended a competition and it was exciting to see them up close. Their site online said it started at 9:00am…so I arrived there about 8:45am…wanting to get early morning light for good photos.

I was the first one through the entrance and was able to get some photos without people in them…
The event is for 10 days and began on Friday the 16th. The judging took place on the 18th and I attended on Monday, the 19th.
