It's been the coldest winter for many years here in Florida but we've still been blessed with sunny days, for the most part. <br /><br />Now I know our "cold" is nothing compared to how bad you've had it up north this year. <br /><br />Roll on Summer!Carol-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390714553925368818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574060146103839230.post-31358529646052740772010-03-02T10:51:43.244-05:002010-03-02T10:51:43.244-05:00Oh, were those photos taken recently?

The Indian author R.K. Narayan being one of them (Under the Banyan Tree). And now I know why. What a true curiosity of nature.

I heard from a former colleague recently who has lived his whole adult life in the Albany, New York, area, that he recently purchased a place in Sarasota. His plan now is to retire there--sooner rather than later. I passed this post on to him. He reported how much he enjoyed it and couldn't help but add that he was headed to Sarasota next week!<br /><br />Thank you for another glimpse of the riches of Sarasota.Raining Acornshttp://www.rainingacorns.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574060146103839230.post-52620041751712291212010-02-25T21:57:19.227-05:002010-02-25T21:57:19.227-05:00How nice to see another post about Sarasota and al...How nice to see another post about Sarasota and all its riches (particularly as we are inundated with rain, sleet, and snow up here)! I was vaguely aware of Banyan trees, but hadn't any idea of their story or how they grow. The pictures are a terrific accompaniment, illustrating beautifully what you describe in the piece.Susan Scheid (Raining Acorns)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02827286681242730183noreply@blogger.com
