 There
is absolutely nothing nicer than getting on a plane after 4
months of gray skies, snow, sleet and ice and getting off the
plane 3 hours later to find blue skies, green grass and tons
of wildlife and flowers everywhere. This has been my Florida
experience in March of 2004 and 2005.
When I traveled to Florida for the first time
in March of 2004, I had never been any place except Disney,
and that does not count for seeing Florida, in my opinion. So
here we are - life in the middle of winter! All of these photos
are taken in and around the Naples and Marco Island area.
My parents have a place in Naples they head
to for the winter (is there anyone from Ohio who is retired
and doesn't do this?) They come back home when it starts
getting hot.
I'm really embarrassed to admit this, but don't know the names
of half the plants and trees I photographed that are on this
page. I'm researching and will add names as I find them. If
any of you native Floridians (or Ohioans who are more educated
than I) would like to help out, please contact
me. Thanks!
