Shaggy side of the wet prairie, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Sand cord grass will dominate if burn is not frequent enough. We are headed into that line of cypress now
A banner day at Downtown Disney, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. You can see the weather we’re up against – intermittent and sometimes even simultaneous rain and sunshine. Now that I’ve stuffed myself, I need to walk around a bit before getting in the car for a three-hour drive. A good browse through World of Disney should do the trick!
Fishing shacks in the sound, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. We’re still traversing Pine Island Sound (I think – I may be a bit turned around) and we are passing these historic fishing shacks. They’ve got a fascinating story, which I’ll have to google when I get home. EDITED TO ADD: I found a local news story about the history of the fishing shack – Historic fishing shacks of bygone days | News-Press.com
Pulling into Useppa Island, originally uploaded by Erin *~*~*. Our cruiser is picking up some passengers from Useppa Island before returning us to Captiva. Once a 1920s hangout for the rich and famous, Useppa is now a private club and if you don’t belong, the only way to spend any time here is to get aboard one of these cruisers.
