- Franz Kafka

Welcome to Paradise!
Naples, on the Gulf Coast of Florida - the only subtropical area in the contiguous United States.
Year-round sunshine, white sandy beaches, championship golf courses (and the most millionaires per square mile in the world!).
So come, take a dip, the water's temperature is a constant 74°F. But please, DO NOT FEED THE ALLIGATORS!!!
The Schmooze Award
Thank you, Kate!
Thanks Olivier, Gil, Fabrizio & Jana!

thanks to u, we'll stay eternally young :)
Someone once said "Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."
You are that ray of sunlight Moi, thanks for shining on me ;-)
Looking at your photos I see beauty everywhere. Impossible not to!
bord de lac tres beau et tres agreable. une tres belle photo
edge of very beautiful and very pleasant lake. a very beautiful photograph
Really Isabella...I am becoming more and more jealous of Naples! Its such a beautiful place. If ever I went to Florida...I would bypass the tourist attractions of Disney World and Orlando and make a beeline straight to Naples!!! Simply stunning!
pour repondre à ta question d'hier. Ce tableau represente le livre de Victor Hugo "les miserables" et dans "les miserables" tu as l'histoire de Cosette, qui quand sa mere meurt devient orpheline et va vivre chez les Thenardier, des tyrans qui profiteront de Cosette en la faisant travailler tres dure et sans aucun repos. Voila pourquoi sur les photos la femme qui joue Madame Thenardier cri sur Cosette
to answer your question of yesterday. This table represents the book of Victor Hugo “the poor wretches” and in “the poor wretches” you have the history of Cosette, which when his/her mother dies becomes orphan and will live at Thenardier, of the tyrants who will benefit from Cosette by making it work very hard and without any rest. For this reason on the photographs the woman who plays Mrs Thenardier cry on Cosette

A beuatiful shot and a good statement by Franz! I suddenly felt younger.
Another nice shot of your community. The colors are vivid.
The third installment about feeding baby robins was posted today. The poop sack.
The nice words met your pretty captured and I felt motivated by...Thanks!
Love the flowers and that quote is really nice.
And growing old with a few beautiful handbags eases the transition!
Naples is beautiful and you show it well ;-)
BTW - I like your Avatar.
No doubt about it; it's a beautiful sight in a lovely environment. Love the deep, deeep reds.
It's hard to top bougainvillea, especially the old red one. There are newer shades of red in the market but this is the best. In a day or two I will post a picture of a tree bougainvillea - this is not a regular rambler but a real tree The tree in your post Spathodea campanulata - African tulip tree (Bignoniaceae) is one of my favorites. Unfortunately this exotic is a trash tree according to the state. It can be invasive and the wood is very weak (it will break under hurricane winds).
Olivier - merci pour ton petit mot.
"Les miserables" est l'un de mes livres préférés! Je me suis demandé cependant pourquoi ils ont choisi une histoire si malheureuse pour présenter à ta fete du Lac!
beautiful!
Very nice shot - I love the colors (and the fountains.
Ces couleurs! Do you know what these red flowers are (in the middle of your pic)?
Wow, do you ever have a cloudy day there? I guess you must get a hurricane or two but there sure are alot of blue skies.
Tog - the African Tulip tree is one of my my favorites, too ;-)
Alice - those are red bougainvillea bushes in the background and a couple of the African Tulip blooms on the tree...
Linda - hardly ever do we get cloudy days (sometimes I yearn for them, just for a change). Even during the rainy season (June to October),the sun waits impatiently for the shower to end ;-)
Thank you for your answer, Isabella!
What a beautiful quote...and the scenery is lovely.
