Sea Grape Window on the Beach... Tank Top

A sandy path through a thicket of sea grapes opens up to a wide expanse of a sandy beach and the pristine aqua-marine waters of the Gulf of Mexico in a setting one would hope to find in that place we call "Paradise". It may not be paradise, but it's the next best place you can get to. Marco Island, Florida has indeed been referred to a paradise on earth and down there tucked in the southwest corner of Florida it's a mecca for tourists seeking solitude, sun and easy living. The deep green leaves of the sea grape tree, contrasted to the white sand, turquoise waters, and blue skies combine to made this image a "thing of beauty" --even if I do say so myself.
