Bob's New Boat and the Clyde Butcher Exhibit on Marco Island

Wednesday February 3

Bob's ride in Marco was attended by Bruce and myself.  It's always nice to ride around Marco because of it's quiet roads and great scenery.   We rode 30 miles ( even though Bruce had to cut out early because of a tee time....what a life!) but it was busier than normal due to the farmer's market that happens each Wednesday.  Bob and I have decided to switch riding days with Monday's being in Marco Island and Wednesday being my ride leaving out of Naples Cyclery or another agreed up ride start location.  Look for that in March.

After the ride Bob showed me his new used boat.  It's a beauty.  Here are some photos.

and yes....even a porta potty!!


After seeing the boat Bob suggested that we go to the Marco Island museum.  The current exhibit features Clyde Butcher who takes photos of many of the national parks.  Right up my alley.

Here are some photos from the exhibit




This last photo was amazing.    A ghost orchid.

What was outside reminded me of the ox's found in NJ though Mercer County.






There are turtles all throughout Naples and the rest of Collier County.  You can find one in front of Bad Ass Coffee in the Third Street South shopping district of Naples.
