FEATURES
Shell Life
By José H. Leal, Ph.D, and Richard Walker
Seashells are Mother Natures works of art, brought to life in our
pages by the skilled eye of still-life photographer Richard Walker and
the expert knowledge of marine biologist and shell museum director José
Leal, Ph.D.
Dances
with Shells
By Ken Richards
Another (perhaps less serious than above) perspective on shells and the
peculiar ritual of those who seek them. The result is an awkward but captivating
beachside ballet that is quintessentially Southwest Florida.
Turning
Tables
By Chelle Koster Walton
The restaurant business is not for wimps. Island eateries seem to come
and go with regularity, but local restaurateurs say the island dining
scene is surprisingly stable in a highly competitive environment.
Cayo Costa
By Barbara Linstrom
If you stand in the middle of this pristine barrier island and look around,
you can almost imagine Florida as it once was, before they paved over
paradise.
Its nice to know theres at least one island left untouched.
