As lovely as the poinciana trees are this time of year, their color does fade away. Eventually, the delicate red-orange flowers drop from their branches and litter the emerald carpet below. Maintaining colorful beauty, their tendrils stretch upward - perhaps in hopes of being rejuvenated and back on the lofty stage again!

As the traditional summer break approaches, educators and students alike await some well deserved rest and relaxation...hoping to refuel and re-energize for the next school year. Hopefully, nourishment will include non-schooled learning - you know, the kind that is relevant and long-lasting! ;) Naples, FL
