The neutral tones may not be eye-catching, but the fossilized rock above water stands in stark contrast to those under the shimmery Tarpon Bay.

This afternoon, free of rain (but not heat and humidity), was spent with my Flickr friend @vanhookc on Sanibel Island. After a delicious and filling lunch at Island Cow (don't ask me how they ended up with that name!), with her daughter and son-in-law-to-be ( Sarah and Jordan), we ventured into Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge for photos and conversation.

There's an obvious timelessness with fossilized artifacts...and so it is with great friendships. In a virtual world where 'friends' may lose their meaning on Facebook, there's nothing quite so special as re-acquainting, laughing, lamenting, and sharing face-to-face! Sanibel Island, FL
