The Hotel Casa Playa in Ft. Myers Beach is amazingly painted with lush plants and cool pots. It caught our eye as we came over the bridge and we made a beeline for it. The owners were kind of perplexed at seeing four of us shooting like crazy (only a fellow photographer could possibly understand), but were quite agreeable with us taking photos. Perspective control was tough because we could get only so far away from the building, but the artwork, the repeating patterns of the balconies, and the bright colors make up for the wonkiness. What a terrific introduction to Florida. We must consider staying there next visit. ©Carol Leigh
