Valentine's Day

For a couple of weeks, Victoria has been hanging a variety of women's clothing with hearts near the store's entrance.  There seems to be a steady flow of women buying tops featuring big, bold hearts

Happy Valentine's Day.

Beach Umbrellas

An older couple didn't want to get too much sun.
They created a colorful hut out of three umbrellas.
If you squint, you will make out the Naples Pier on the horizon.

Sunrise on the Lake

This was a pretty nice sunrise if you like subtlety.

The Promenade

The Promenade used to be a happening place.  In the recession of 2008-2009, The Promenade might have crashed as hard as any place in Southwest Florida.  It has taken years, but it is back.

Guest Photographer: Going Shopping

How do you keep a princess from crawling away while shopping?  Here is one answer.

Have a very happy nine month birthday, Willa.

Great pic, Susie and Wessel.

A Naples Collection

Black and white in Naples:  Audi, Merc, Merc, Rolls and Beemer.  What, no Bentleys?

Sir Charles.

Way to go!  There are men's rooms and then there are men's rooms.

These can't be easy to put on.

"Jump."

Mike and the Fam

Yes, despite the heavy clothes, this is Florida.  It has been cool lately, though "cool" is relative.  Yesterday it was 60 degrees (15 degrees C.) when I ran into my good friend and golf buddy Mike.

  
Mike was riding bikes with his daughter Kricket, her husband of six months, Matt, and Matt's mother Michelle.  (They ran out of bikes, so Mike's wife Amy and Michelle's husband Brendan stayed behind.)  I dragged them off their bikes and insisted on a photograph.

Nice to meet you, Kricket, Matt and Michelle.
