Xanadu V
All good things must come to an end...
I enjoyed your company at my private beach on Big Hickory Island, but it's time to catch the last shuttle boat back to the Coconut marina.
Your place next weekend?

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!

Sure! Let me just pass a damp cloth over the place :)
cette photo vaut tous les poemes du monde, tous les tableaux. c'est tres beau, tres poetique, j'adore
this photograph is worth all the poems of the world, all the tables. it is very beautiful, very poetic, I adore
Wow! What a beautiful place. Absolutely stunning. I could easily switch into a pair of swim trunks, lather on some spf 6000, plunk myself on a lounge chair with a good book and listen to the waves lapping the shore until I fell asleep..
What a wonderful place. It transmit to me much peace! Great photo!
Oh, do come! I would love to show you all of the lavender farms.
I agree with Olivier, this photograph is a poem. Just beautiful.
Oh yes, my place anytime...
Is the bird on a sandbar? The water looks cool and placid.
sure, why not!!! will treat you to an Indian BBQ!!! ;)
just went through the big Hickory island set, Isabella....great pics. which part of Florida is the island ??
sure, my place next weekend!
quick, book your flight to Singapore!
You never cease to amaze me. How did you arrange for those three birds to fly over like that at the moment you clicked?
;-) Greetings.
That was a long and nice weekend. Sorry it comes to an end, but on the other hand, going back to Coconut Marina, Naples... doesn't sound too bad!
My weekend will be in Paris and "La Fête de la Musique" with some friends, and no rain, of course!
Great beach! So what happens if you miss the boat? Do you swim back, does the giant octopus come ashore and finish you off.
Oh well, we made it anyway!
Oh I totally missed out the private beach fun days :o( poor me just got back from my busyness but i'm very happy that i came up with this beautiful photo ;o)
Thank you for the wonderful tour, I've had a great time, and have a wonderful tan to show for it. Of course, my place next.... we'll go and hit a bucket of balls at the driving range and then I'll introduce you to my Red Hat ladies! (see my blog!!)
Gosh, I really hate to have to leave and go home!
what a gorgeous place - I feel like I've had a lovely break!
I've always loved how peaceful and lake-like the Gulf of Mexico is.
I love our beaches because they are close by, but the Atlantic is pretty rough a lot of the time, and we don't have that snow white quartz sand like the Gulf does.
It was a nice trip!
Follow the seagulls and have a nice trip back. We enjoyed your private beach...
Is there ANY way we can put off going back home for a couple more days?
I enjoyed your personal tour through your part of the world. What a great final photo!
How beautiful and serene.
