Description
It's common for Florida's coastal communities to enjoy some type of cloud cover nearly every day. Ranging from summertime's thunder boomers, aka cumulonimbus clouds, to the thin, wispy cirrus clouds of winter, the most common type clouds are the fluffy cumulus clouds. And when the sun goes down, it's often time for a dramatic sunset. Here on sands of Daytona Beach the setting sun backlights this mix of clouds creating a wonderful scene at the ends of the day. Another common sight is a formation of pelicans cruising the beach. When airborne these birds may be seaching for their last meal of the day. Palm trees and palmettos provide the distinct, sharp silhouettes along the dunes, which provide protection against the ravages of a sometimes stormy Atlantic Ocean.
