Goodland

Goodland is a nice, authentic fishing village on the way to Marco Island.

Great Blue Heron

A fisherman in Goodland placed a bait fish on the stern of his boat,

to lure a nearby great blue heron.

Sanibel Marina.

Biking Sanibel Island

Sanibel is absolutely flat.

 Bicyclists flow here and there and everywhere.

Recumbent bicycles, three wheelers, everything.

At some point during their visits, most tourists will rent some bikes

and pedal around the island.

There are 25 miles of bike trails to enjoy.

Knees

The structures appearing above the cypress roots are called knees.  No one knows
what their function is.  Some think they help with oxygenating the trees.
Others think they help stabilize the tall trees in the soft mud of a swamp.

Four Consecutive National Championships!

Connecticut 82, Syracuse 51

The UConn women's basketball team won their fourth consecutive national championship last night.

 An undefeated 38-0 winning record this year.  75 consecutive wins, beginning three years ago.

It was the eleventh national championship for UConn teams coached by Geno Auriemma.



The senior class -- Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck -- ended
with a four-year record of 151-5.

Breanna Stewart was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA tournament
for the fourth year in a row . . . every year she has played.

Congratulations!

Renovations

A tired strip mall on Vanderbilt Beach Road has just finished renovations.  The owner added some new color-block façades and unifying canopies and signage.  It looks pretty good now.
