“God’s coloring book,” indeed. Behold the full moon setting this morning over the gulf, and imagine it appearing in slow motion from a white dot in a clear, midnight sky—from your chaise, with a cool breeze and a cuppa.

Are you an early bird or night owl, and what’s special about that time for you?

Thank you, Dolly 🙏💖

Yesterday was National Black Cat Day, but here, every day we’re grateful for the this one, he who came to our backyard one day full of affection, and moved in the next day. How did he know? How did we? He protects and loves with precision and depth, communicates keenly, body slams with passion, sits for treats, sleeps at my feet, requires hugging time AM and PM, and is a beast of love who just knows things. Quiet moments with your animal can be magical. Thank you, my sweet boy. #blackcats #blackcatsonly #catscatscats

Affirmed by a bird 🥰 This morning I went to the farmer’s market at Pine Ridge Rd and Livingston Rd for fresh fruit and veggies, and oh my goodness, I found myself in front of the Farmers Market Bird Man, Rolf! To my surprise and absolute delight, Romeo transferred easily to my arm, and rested his head on my shoulder. Rolf taught me where the “spot” is, and that was that. Romeo also let me “tickle” his “armpit” and spread a wing out fully in appreciation. Rolf let me know that birds are like dogs… they know… 🙏🏻❤️ What a wonderful feeling to be trusted by such a creature.

Hi friend. Wish you well.

#backyardbirds #backyardblooms #papaya

Coming up with creative ways to provide value, coupled with listening for opportunities to do so, is at the heart of what we do.

It’s particularly satisfying when there can be a value exchange that exceeds the needs and expectations of both parties.

Today, all are more pleased than they expected to be, and that makes my day.

Flame Lily randomly growing at our cottage in Bonita Springs! This striking flower is native to parts of Africa and Asia. It grows as a climbing vine, using tendrils on the tips of its leaves to grip onto nearby plants or supports. It starts out as a drooping pod, then opens with tendrils down, before each petal rises up—as I observed over two days. What a treat! PSA: toxic if ingested. It’s a visual treat. ;)

More often than not, some part of a negotiation or transfer of property requires confident, educated, and hopefully rational conversations. With appreciation for all involved — our Seller, and for the A-Team and their Buyer — for an enjoyable and successful sale.

Early voting was a breeze @colliercountypubliclibrary HQ on the NW corner of Orange Blossom Dr and Airport-Pulling Rd in the center of Naples. The courtyard’s fountain and tropical trees create a peaceful ambiance, and the poll workers were genuinely enthusiastic and friendly. Check-in lady offered excellent information. We had such a lovely interaction, knowing nothing about the other, that I had some tears. “Oh! Is this your first time voting?” “No. This is such a big one, though.” Her eyes and smile agreed as she sent me off for this treasured civic duty.

There are as many business models for professional real estate advisors as there entrepreneurs who can envision and create them. Since compelling visuals are mandatory, the best shots are collected over time, and I love to create, my plan includes the pleasure of being in the field with new gear.

Is there a part of your professional responsibility that feels like playing hooky?

My cousin, Bev, knows that I like postcards. Every now and then, she sends me one from her late mother’s considerable collection. 🙏🏻

Check out the most recent piece from the pile. Score!

Let’s play…

1 - Do you recognize the development?

2 - How about the two decades these high-rises were built?

3 - What was built on the large parcel, and in what year?

Answers below.

BONUS: Clam Pass and the south end of Pelican Bay are seen in the upper/right corner of the postcard. On that southwest corner of Pelican Bay, an upscale hotel was built in 1988, The Registry Resort, now known as Naples Grande. The name changed in 2014… what was it known as just prior? Hints: enduring salad with walnuts from the late 1800s; Park Avenue residents Cole Porter, Marilyn Monroe, and Paris Hilton, respectively.

These are the gulf-front properties along Gulfshore Blvd N, north to south from Seagate to Park Shore Drive:

Le Parc 1990
Meridian Club 1981
Terraces 1986
Villa Mare 1988
Vistas 1990
Enclave 1991
Esplanade Club 1981
Aria 2006 (3)
Solamar 1986
