Starfish on a gold star beach in Naples. Mosaic Monday.
Ibis in the hood. The naked branch below the bird used to sprout beautiful, puffy pine needles until a cable crew broke it off. I was livid.

Turtles sunning outside our condo.
My orchid sprouted a rare conjoined bloom!
As Artemis circumnavigates above us, we’re not wondering about the moon’s bright side, but the mysterious dark side that will soon be revealed. The astronaunts are taking photos with a camera. Really? Is this 1970 or 2026?
My books arrived inside a mishmash of dented and bruised boxes. But they were okay.
“Get lost in the pages of your story.”
I savoured the perfect Dove Chocolate and matching message during my book event at Annette’s Book Nook.
I wore my Easter best and smiled until my teeth hurt at Books On Third, my last event of the season. Even though it doesn’t look busy in this photo, the store attracted a huge crowd because of the nearby Farmer’s Market. I couldn’t believe it, but people flooded into the store! A bookstore! I sold several books, but the real hit was my Dove Chocolate candy. Two kids wanted to take all they could carry, until their mother stopped them, wheedling them down to one each. Typically, my Naples bookmarks don’t get much attention, yet this time they were taken quickly—almost as swiftly as a seagull grabs bread. A few people commented on how much they like crows. I hope they feel the same way about my new spooky suspenseful book! But I actually sold more copies of The Levitation Game. When I recite my blurb, people almost always buy it. But all I need to sell Chorus of Crows is this book review…
Hello Sharon,
Love the photos, the star fish is a great find. I love the Ibis and the turtles. Congrats on your book!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
Crows are popular. Give it time, and that book’ll catch up.
Loved the starfish collage and that ibis shot but even more huge congratulations on your book and the amazing turnout!
Very nice to see you, dear Blogfriend, between your Books. I admire you.
Love the little starfish, it looks so lovely.
Thank you for sharing at MosaicMonday ❤️
Have a good week ahead.
Beautiful photographs and I’m glad your book signing went so well. Good for you.

I love the starfish! Congrats on your book signing. Sounds like it went well! Thank you for linking up and have a wonderful weekend.
Lindas imagenes. Te mando un beso.
Dear Sharon, you’re saying goodbye to your Florida season with atmospheric photos. I can completely understand why you’re livid about the branch incident – such careless treatment of nature always makes me angry and sad too. Congratulations on your successful book sales – and on the great review of Chorus of Crows!
All the best from Austria,
Traude
Beautiful photos, Sharon! I was reading about the astronauts taking photos using a DSLR. To top it off, it’s an older Nikon. Sounds very low-tech!
congratulations on your book, Sharon!!! and such a lovely book event.
So glad you had a successful book signing.
Congratulations! Your Book Signing was a hit! Yea! Those turtles are long and big. Is the walk circular? Interesting. You are lucky enough to find a starfish.
Lovely photos, Sharon!
The starfish and turtles are such a treat, and your orchid bloom is amazing.
Congrats on your book events.
Sounds like a wonderful way to end the season.
Hello Sharon,
What a nice post with fantastic pictures.
Nice that starfish and that Ibis. So nice to see all and funny that turtles.
And good to see your book event. Big compliments.
I am reading now the books of Raynor Winn. I love it.
Many greetings,
Marco
Heck of a book review!! I might have to buy it. So many great books and my reading is painfully slow. I have the Levitation Game on my kindle so I am making progress.
