Those of you who've read my San Francisco entries know that I love to sightsee by just walking around. Great exercise (especially with SF hills), and I usually end up covering around 6 miles in just an afternoon. Naples, fortunately, is flat. Also fortunate is that my dad's place is within walking distance of the downtown area. So, here are some of the random things I saw around the city over the course of an afternoon.
Pelican on the roof of Kelly's Fish House. In the background: Tin City.
Mystery novelist Diane Ketcham was signing books at the Chalk Art Fest. After seeing the title of her latest book, I certainly felt less safe staying here.
A big 19-month old Newfoundland puppy wants to play. The Yorkie is skeptical that playing is a good idea.
The Naples Pier. People were fishing for sea trout... and anything else they could catch. Not a great day for fishing, turns out.
The Naples Beach. The whole thing is open to the public, no private sections. That's pretty cool.
A seagull sporting a Flock of Seagulls hairdo. Not from the Eighties? Look it up.
The entrance to the pier is decorated with sea turtle mosaics created by Naples HS art students in 2010. A nearby plaque says they they "embody the connection that the city has with the Gulf of Mexico and our responsibility to the creatures that live in it."
3D wall art on a random building
Deserted courtyard
Sculpture advertising the Naples Trolley Tours. Yep, that's a gator.
