If you were asked why you wanted to be in Southwest Florida, would the natural beauty and amazing nature be in your top 3 answers? If so, you understand why I am here.

This time of year blesses us with incredible blossoming trees and shrubs. The colors and scents are hypnotizing.

Last week the delicate dragonflies were swarming - it is spring, after all. They were everywhere - like fireflies lighting up a dark night.

Have you ever seen the exuberance of dolphins jumping out of the water? On one misty morning I happened to be at the right place (Isles of Capri) to witness a mother and twin dolphins frolicking. That memory will bring a smile to my face forever!

Naples, Marco Island and Isles of Capri are communities which savor nature. If you'd like to look at real estate which feeds your love of nature, please give me a call or e-mail. We'll enjoy the process, I guarantee it.

This beautiful Egretta Thula is a small active white heron. His yellow feet and long black legs are helpful in identifying him as the "Snowy Egret". This fellow was perched on driftwood washed up on the fine white-sand beach overlooking the Marco River at Big Marco Pass. I met him on May 24, 2010 and am pleased he agreed to sit for a photo. Isn't he beautiful?!
