Temptation

Here we are sitting peacefully enjoying the sights and sounds of the gulf; and one fine feathered friend is zeroing in on lunch? Very tempting....

Mama Manatee

In August 2010, Mama Manatee giving birth to Baby Manatee, near 64th on Holmes Beach. What an extraordinary phenomenon!

Casa Del Sol = home in the sun

Greetings!
Welcome to Casa Del Sol on Anna Maria Island blog, sharing sun-soaked experiences on our favorite isle. One of our favorites was witnessing the most amazing event ever - just down the block by 64th St, a Mama Manatee gave birth to her baby. Wow - what an extraordinary phenomenon of nature!

This trip was fraught with sun-worshiping on our powdery soft beach sand (not hot on the feet like that Jersey Shore); biking - leisurely and competitively; running (gotta increase that lung capacity - we're definitely getting old); tubing and cruising high speed in our rental boat from Cannon's Marina (LBK); coffee stops at the new Village Cafe at Rosedale, and of course our charming local haunt Ginny's & Jane E's where we sip and shop for vintage "chotchkies".

Well that's it.... Doc's calling to lather up and meander into the sand and surf... Until next time....
Cheers!
