The plan had been for Kathryn to attend a Ladies Who Lunch thing and I was due to play some friendly golf this morning but, when we saw how fine the weather was and realised that there was a great day ahead with daughter and fiancé, both these got shelved. Instead we packed up a picnic and headed south to Venice.

No not
that Venice, silly: I mean the one just north of Naples.... in Florida... Today was the last day of the
2015 Chalk Festival. This is held on an airstrip (thus providing acres of tarmac upon which to draw/paint) of the local municipal airport and sees artists from all over the world come to compete.

We were not quite sure what to expect, but were blown away by what we found. The drawings at first looked a bit abstract and it was only once we realised that they were best viewed through an iPhone lens that we properly got the picture: what looks from the side to be a bit of a jumble of colours is transformed when viewed from the right place using a camera.

All very clever and made for a fun morning.
We then found our way to Caspersen Beach - according to TripAdvisor the number one destination in Venice - first for lunch and then to hunt for prehistoric sharks' teeth...
Allegedly, the beach is covered in them - well, that may be the case, but we found only one - and were very pleased to have done so!
