Lego Man arrived on Siesta Key Beach on Tuesday.  Jeff Hindman was walking on Siesta Key Beach this past Tuesday at about 7am and came upon this giant brightly colored Lego Man.   As reported by our local news paper the Sarasota Herald Tribune, Lego Man is about 8 feet tall and weighs about 100 lbs. and made of fiberglass.  Lego Man has the words No Real Than You Are on his front shirt and “Ego Leonard” and the number 8 on the back of his shirt.  Ego Leonard is the reported name of an artist in the Netherlands.  An email was sent to the artist and the response was,
“I am glad I crossed over.  Nice weather here and friendly people.  I think I am gonna stay here for a while. A local sheriff escorted me to my new home.”

Siesta Key Sunsets

Siesta Key Sunsets are spectacular.  We often enjoy going for long walks on the beach of Siesta Key and having Siesta Key on the west coast of Florida gives us breathtaking water sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico.  Every time we are walking on the beach of Siesta Key you see rows and rows of people taking sunset pictures with their iphones, droids, small cameras, and very expensive large cameras on tri-pods. Siesta Key beach at sunset has become a very popular site for taking family pictures and for sunset weddings. 

Enjoy some of the latest pictures that I have taken of sunsets on Siesta Key.
