Blue


Back to Naples.

I was driving along Gordon Drive, one of Naples' most exclusive streets,
in search of a mansion or two visible from the street.  I thought you might like to see one.

But, the wonderful periwinkle blue of this house caught the corner of my eye, so I stopped and
walked back with my camera.  Not a mansion, but very nice.
I could live here.  If I had a gardener.

    Looks to me like you would need a guide with a machete just to get to the front door. ;-)

    I'd describe it as a fairy-tale house. It is absolutely lovely, and I bet that the owners have a gardner or they are young and have good knees!!

    I could live there without any problem at all. Although I agree, I would need a gardener. Beautiful!

    Naples does have some very beautiful homes. I could live here, too, with or without gardener. But without would mean less golf, so I think I'll stay where I am! :)

    Yes, routine stuff.

    So neat and tidy and very graceful. That blue really does attract the eye. Charming fences and gate :D)

    You are probably right about the gardener, but it is a very nice house even without!

    It really is beautiful. It makes me think of Key West but, I guess that really isn't that far away.

    What a sweet home and I do love that picket fence wandering through the front yard.

    I could also live here, I have a gardener... :)

    That would beat any mansion in my book, Jack!

    I wasn't surprised that you didn't like the modern addition I showed. ;-))

    This would also fit in nicely in Key West!

    Very typical Naples abode and I am sure they have a gardener or two.
    Nice shots.

    I agree, I could live there but a gardener would be a must or all those lovely plants would soon turn brown and wither.

    This is how I remember the old, historic Florida. Beautiful, well maintained house and gardens in your photo.

    Looks like a gingerbread house in April. Lovely color. I would need a gardener, too.

    My goodness, what a show-stopper. I can see why it caught your eye. It almost looks like something out of a fairy tale. Your shots have really done it justice.

    It looks like a house in a moviescene, so perfect. They must have a gardener for sure.

    Ihad a look at those mansions Jack, and I would much rather have this cute blue cottage. It's oozing charm!

    What beautiful and charming home. Love the gates.

    Oh YES I could live here - but my extra requirement would be sea views. That in my eyes is far more important than the size of the house.

    Charming! If that other structure is a mother-in-law suite, and the property abuts the Gulf, it's perfect! I agree with you about the gardner. Gotta have the right gardner or it's a deal breaker.
