About Bonita Springs' Lover's Key

Hello folks,

Went kayaking for the first time earlier this week. Wow, if ya never been Kayaking before, best be prepared for some sore arms. We rented a couple kayaks at Lover's Key State Park in Lee County Florida and paddled around the bay & islands. Saw a couple HUGE Manatees swimming under our kayaks, which was quite neat.

Here are a few pics.....

Picture below is of a Pelican Diving into the water for a little breakfast.
In the background is the Lover's key Resort.

Below is a pic of the small restaurant in the rear of the Lover's Key Resort. As you can see they are "right" on the water. Never eaten here before, but will in the near future. The restaurant is down by the small deck in the picture.

Picture below is looking in the opposite direction as the pic above. We had stopped on a small beach and "borrowed" a couple lounge chairs for about 20 minutes to rest our arms ...... even though there were "no trespassing signs" posted. hehe

Hope you enjoyed the photos. It is a rough life livng in Southwest Florida, but someone has to do it!!

Hello Folks,

Happy Easter

Saturday before Easter was an awesome day to spend on the beach. The sun was shining high in the sky and we had a few clouds blowing through. Light breeze in the air which helped keep the heat away. By noon time, the beaches were packed with people & boats.

Had the thrill of seeing a couple birds I’ve never seen before, American Oystercatchers. These were beautiful birds … about the size of a large Seagull, Brown & white coloration to their feathers and BRIGHT Orange Beaks & Eyes.

These birds use their beaks to pry open live seashells like Oysters to get to the meat. HHmm, I wonder if they have to worry about Hepatitis?

As mentioned, Saturday was “Chamber of Commerce” type of day.

The only side effect was the sunburn I now have on 65% of my body …. Front and back.

Here are some pictures of the day…..
