Florida Cranes and Canals

Last Monday after taking Brendan to school, Tina and I with the 2 younger ones went to a coffee shop in Matlacha, a part of Pine Island. It's a small local coffee shop that offers free refills of coffee and they have various flavors, so I tried them all. They were all so delicious.

Notice all the shadows in the water and all the blues!

We were joined there by their beautiful German neighbor, Natasha.

As soon as we got out of the Expedition, these Florida birds, I think they are cranes, greeted us.

Notice the shadow of the vehicle and crane in the 3rd photo of the mosaic and of course the shadow of the trees in the water on the 1st and 2nd photos?

I love palm trees and you can see shadows of them in the water here.

and here.

Tina said she does not know anybody else who takes pictures of palm trees as much as I do.

But then again. I just take a lot of pictures of anything, after all, I am a dedicated blogger, aren't I?

This is what I ordered, a crab with asparagus and mushrooms omelet. It was really good but it was so big so I only finished half, took the rest home and enjoyed it the next morning.

And here is the gang, isn't Natasha lovely? I do believe my daughter is too but I know I am biased. But I am not the only one who thinks that. Do you see that guy in the background behind the counter? I bought some coffee grounds and he said my daughter is very beautiful.  In fact, he gave her a glass of free iced coffee, lol.

And my 2 grandchildren are precious!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I always enjoy your visits.
