Plantations outside New Orleans


Oak Alley has been the setting for many movies


300-year-old oak trees!

These oak trees are only 150 years old
(the oaks--not the folks)!




The grounds were beautiful even in the middle of winter

Sanibel Island, FL

I became an avid "sheller" upon walking along
the shores of Sanibel Island on the Gulf of Mexico!

Millions of beautiful seashells....the kind usually
seen only in the tourist shops

The colors are much richer than the photos show....
there are a lot of gold, burgundy, purple, and rust colors
along with an amazing variety of shapes

along carrying the shuttle from the garage to the
