I’ve followed the Snow Birds to sunny Florida for break and luckily for me landed in Pine Island for a couple of days.
Surrounded by flowers its difficult to recall winter.
A lone lawn chair sits on a dock wait for me to pour a cold drink, so I can watch fish jump and osprey feed.
Hidden arbors encased in vine remind me of old novels and new books to read.
With nothing much to do but watch the sun set.
THANK YOU for posting such beautiful pics! It really helps when it still so white and chilly up here.
What a dramatic contrast to your last set of pictures! Given the choice of both venues…I’d choose Florida!

Me too!
Oops replied in the wrong spot!
Rick, I think this week I’d chose Florida too.
Maine Mom, it was my evil plan all along. Hope you are enjoying break.
Pine Island – that’s where my Dad is for the winter! He loves it.
That makes total sense! I could see him there. Why don’t you visit?

Ahhh, paradise. Just got back from FLA myself. Naples. What a treat. 70′s this am to 30′s this pm. Oh well. It was swell while it lasted.
I am working very hard to become a “snow bird” myself before I am too old to move. I enjoyed your pics of Florida. I lived there for a long time, but really don’t want to be there full time again – unless I could live on the water (sea, not lake!)
