Island life

The day after our seashell collecting adventure, we went back out to the island for more exploring. This time, we drove out to the opposite end of the island, Captiva.

I love imagining what it would be like to live on an island...

where coconut trees grow in the front yard...


where the earth is so full of seashells that even the rocks are made of seashells...


where people live in brightly-colored houses...


where giant flowers bloom in vivid colors...


where dolphins play in your backyard...


and you have to watch out for manatee...


where you can see from one side of the island to the other...


and you can feel the warm sand between your toes.


What about you? Have you ever lived on an island? Would you want to?

    I would get rid of the car, ride a pink beach cruiser bike (with a basket) everywhere I go and be good friends with everyone on the island. We would have morning visits and afternoon naps in the sand.

    What a beautiful island!
