Born and living in Western Ohio these days, however I spent my youth, 4 years old until High School in Southwest Florida on the Gulf Coast...that area, Venice, and others, is way to crowded for me full time in this century, but I still get down to the old home town and other place in South and even Northeast Florida on the Atlantic, at least a couple of times every 2 or 3 years and I can always find places I enjoy, away from the crowds...like these...
A Marsh Hawk along Loop Road {great ride for the TW in the North Everglades just off US 41, The Tamiami Trail}, a Gulf of Mexico Sunset at Venice Beach where I spent many hours in my youth in the 1950s and early 60s, My Sister and Brother in Law's Dock at Naples, before Hurricane Ian took it out last year, they are still rebuilding...Sunrise on the Atlantic and Flagler Beach, and finally the dock at my Ohio buddy's place near Astor, along the St. Johns River in Northern Florida,,,
