FLORIDA ICONS

THIS POST IS LINKED AT WEEKEND REFLECTIONS and MELLOW YELLOW MONDAY.

 

Florida trailers2 

We went to lunch at Fort Myers Beach the other day and I snapped these iconic Florida trailer houses as we walked into the restaurant.   After we ate, one of our friends pointed out that the gift shop there had paintings of this exact scene for sale.  I was happy I'd snapped my own.

We appreciate all visitors and commenters! Thank you.

  7. Sally, I love this!!
    I remember when my son took a high school field trip to Disney World he came back and I was wearing a shirt of many different colored pastels. He just shook his head and said you just don’t know. He loved the pastels colors he saw.

  8. Oops, forgot to mention that we finally got our camper. Hope to be on the road by spring. I will be in touch if we ever get to your part of the world.

  9. I have always loved collecting photos of all the brightly colored houses in other parts of the world. I would have been beside myself to find this shot before me here in the US.
    I keep telling my hubby that I wish I could get all the condos in my complex to do the same. He claims it would never fly.
    Sorry, I have not been around for a while. But, trying to catch up today.

  10. A row of reflected pastels – I wonder if the code tells what color can be painted and where?

  11. This is a great shot.
    I’ve stayed in Fort Myers – it’s one of the few places in the USA that I’ve visited. I loved to drive to Sanibel. Thanks for bringing back happy memories.

  12. A very “pretty” scene! The colours and reflections are lovely; and it’s nice to see folk in the picture too.
    Our tiny day beach chalets are the nearest that we have in UK!!!

  13. What a gorgeous sight! Looks like sweets in a sweet store!

  14. Those trailers are some “oldies”. Terrific capture of their reflection in the water.

  15. Oooh, I just LOVE this one. Great colors! Great composition! Well seen and well captured.

  16. I love this…it is so “Florida”!

  17. That is just classic Florida! Love it!

  18. Sallie, the pastel colors reflect beautifully in the water and make a picture perfect photo. Come to think of they resemble a Monet painting.
    Hope all is well with you and hubby.
    Hugs,
    Pam

  19. And I’ll bet your picture was better than the painting. I like the reflections of the houses in the water. The colors are sort of like a pastel rainbow. Very pretty,
