Lover Key State Park is a collection of barrier islands popular with boaters and beach goers, located just south of Ft Myers Beach. I hadn't visited the place for a long time. Hadn't planned on stopping here today either. Was passing by and decided to just stop in.

Walked one of the trails first, before checking out the beach. There is a butterfly garden present along the trail and several species were present today including Cloudless Sulpher, Zebra Longwing, Gulf Fritillary and a Cassius Blue. Hadn't seen a cassius blue till today. Might go back to try for a good photo.
Not too birdy, till I reached the beach. Had Herring, Ring-billed and Laughing gulls, Sandwich and Royal Terns, some Brown Pelicans, Sanderlings, Willets, Ospreys and Ruddy Turnstones. Scoping out Carlos Point, which lays across the inlet, could seen a great many seabirds at rest.
