Did you ever see such a patriotic Manatee mailbox? Me either. Bonita Springs has a ton of manatee mailboxes, by the way. They’re right up their with dolphin mailboxes. This is what a manatee is if you didn’t know: West Indian Manatee Facts.

Last week one of my readers, the mysterious [...]

More Things to Do in Bonita Springs
Someone found this Bonita Springs real estate blog looking for “things to do First Date Bonita Springs, Fl”. I don’t think I’ve ever really written specifically about dating. I think I did do a Valentine day post once. It got me thinking that maybe I should write about [...]

Wildlife Paparazzi

Barefoot Beach ducks are just a little antisocial at first. They were playing in standing water until the crazy urban bush woman of Bonita Springs started infringing upon their personal space. I slowly squatted down and waited. The mommy was giving me the stink eye but eventutally it dawned on her [...]

Mermaid Mailbox of Bonita Springs
Hickory Blvd. on Bonita Beach is more than just prime Bonita Springs real estate, its mailbox gold.  The variety of unusual mailboxes is unparallel anywhere in town.  I do realize that you probably drive by a thousand mailboxes weekly and don’t give them a second thought.  I needed a free/cheap hobby [...]

Bonita Beach Sunset
I am whooped.  I’ve been cruising the beaches all day helping a lovely couple finding a view like this from a condo in Bonita Springs, Florida.  Seems easy enough, doesn’t it?  It sure would be easier if the condos were just a little bit more accessible.  Listing agents don’t return calls, keys aren’t [...]

Just one of those days in Bonita Springs…
Today, I played a little bit of hooky. My intention was to play full hooky but I am so unskilled in hooky playing I failed miserably. I even had to turn around to get gear, at one point, to fully be able to enjoy my hooky. [...]

Bonita Beach After The Sun Goes Down
It’s an almost sad parade of people leaving the beach after the sun goes down. Every day the sun goes down over the Gulf of Mexico in Bonita Springs, Florida. Most days I miss it. Periodically, guilt sets in that “other people fly from all over [...]

A Tragic Tale of Terry Cloth

Have you hugged your beach today?

 
Bonita Beach | Barefoot Beach | Little Hickory
Looks like a three day weekend is sneaking up on us.  Our little city of Bonita Springs swells a little with jet setters flying in to RSW get their “sun” on.  Mid February isn’t too bad for the skin, it’s the closer to Easter sun that spanks that northern [...]

Who do these ”wheels” belong to? I saw them today at Bonita Beach in Bonita Springs and had to snap a picture.  I then thought…
