Early morning remains of the previous night's rain makes its impressions on the road, while a solitary bicyclist makes his way west...at far below the speed limit BTW! 12th St S, Naples, FL

Bananas grow nicely in this tropical summer heat and rain...and we've had plenty of it this year! From one extreme (quite prolific) to another ("We have no bananas today"), there always seems to be a steady constant. Naples Botanical Garden, Naples, FL

A common buckeye butterfly find a moment of rest...just in time for the long (thankfully!) three day weekend. Though we've only been in the fall semester for a couple of weeks, this break will be one to capitalize on the need for organization of too many plate-spinning activities! :) Naples, FL

Need to find out what this is...finding it all over town and don't remember it from the many years of living here. Has it always been here and just having a good blooming year due to all the rain or is it something new that landscapers are using more of in their designs... 4th Ave N & Gulfshore Blvd, Naples, FL

A couple of avocados left on this tree - but will have to wait for them to drop...or get the ladder out. No matter, they undoubtedly need additional ripening time. So that gives enough time to decide on what to do with them: Grilled Shrimp, Mango, and Avocado; Cool Southwestern Salad with Corn and Avocado; Avocado Fries; or just stick with Guacamole! :) Naples, FL

One of the newly built 'for sale' homes in the neighborhood is nicely landscaped with many palm trees. I like the eyebrow shutter, though it is purely decorative...and another reflection! 3rd St N, Naples, FL

Rainy conditions are scattered with occasional sunshine - just in time for this reflection. 4th Ave N & Gulfshore Blvd, Naples, FL
