BOAT-BY SNAPSHOTS

,

 

From beach-cottage to condo high rises, boat-houses to boats, there are a lot of different ways to live along Fort Myers Beach.

We boated by all these colorful homes  when we went to the Beach last week for the season's  last Boat Club lunch.

 The snowbird season is over,  but we'll stay for at least another month.  

 It was a good year and we'll miss our friends and fun activities.   But now we'll have absolutely  no excuse not to stay home and finish our cottage-reno project!

    Sounds like “work ahead”

    When we lived in Ft. Lauderdale, we’d visit southwest Florida often and have stayed on Ft. Myer’s beach on several occasions. I even remember when it wasn’t so crowded. The last few times we were there the traffic was backed up from the bridge for 4-5 miles!

    Ha! I like the title of this “boat-by”, that’s very creative of you Sallie.

    Thank you Sallie for the right information. I should learn more about the USA,

    They all look beautiful! I’m betting that living that close to the water is pretty pricey.

    Great photos! We have friends from Fort Meyers visiting us now. Great place I hear.

    Hi Sallie, Thanks for stopping by.
    I love viewing homes from a boat and imagining what they look like inside; there is such a variety to see.
    The pelicans make quite a group, they call attention to the sign very well!

    Certainly a colourful, multi-styled living area by the water! Love the light too!

    Hi there – I wonder what abnormal unsafe operations for a pelican are?? Diving into concrete?

    PS: Very nice picture – even if my comment is silly!

    I sometimes forget that the USA is so large and not just one country, but a collection of many countries, like we have here in Europe . The only difference is, that everybody speaks English in the USA, whereas every country in Europe has its own language and own culture!
    Your photos were taken in California, weren’t they?
    Thanks for your visit.

    Forgot to say I LOVED your title! Touche!

    The colors of the buildings and the chairs and the pink railing in that one shot sure speak warm climate and happy times.
    I remember when my son went to Florida on a school orchestra trip he came back in awe of the pastel color. When he got off the bus he saw me wearing pastel colors and laughed. 🙂

    Looks like a beautiful place. I’ve got to get down there and visit. At least to see the burrowing owls near there.

    There is a large variety of houses there and in Florida. Hubby, his cousin and I visited some the first couple of days of vacation. We were quite taken with the city of Venice. Love the mosaic, have a happy week!

    All the photos are fascinating-but I love the last sign!(By the way, I woke up very early, and put the central heating on!It’s about 3c in the UK Midlands).

    A nice place to winter and many colourful places that look cute.
