Cape Coral Real Estate : What a difference 10 minutes makes

So today I'm driving around in Cape Coral (where I live) checking on some of my vacant land listings when I decide to head over to Pine Island.

Pine Island is a quaint island community. The areas are Matlacha, Pineland, St. James City & Bokeelia. I decide to head through Matlacha & make a left down towards St James City.

How nice. The sun was up but obviously close to setting as I drive.

These photos are not the greatest because I took them while driving - yeah very safe I know...

So to the left is the very end of St. James City....

Ok after that I drive down the road the way I came. We stopped at the main grocery store for a drink ~ Winn Dixie. I'm amazed that there are only about 20 people inside the entire store - nothing like Cape Coral. We get back in the truck & continue on our trip.

Here we stop on a dead end road to photograph this direct access canal. The homes are small & modest here but what a view & quick access!

Here is another shot of a canal:

Ok & one more just so you get the idea:

Notice the mud on my mirror - yeah it's mud, we were checking out some property & ended up spinning mud on the truck....

Ok so we turn out of these dead end roads & head back through Matlacha - I didn't get any photos of the quaint stores along the way all painted in the most radiant colors - as not to crash on the main road/bridge.

I take a photo of the bay as I drive by:

And then of the bridge - Matlacha Pass where many people are walking about & fishing:

Then home we go. A couple of miles from there & from my house we pass our brand new bustling Publix shopping center & we're home in less than 7 minutes.

Sometimes you forget your surroundings & all the beauty around. Its nice to take time out from time to time to go see your 'backyard'

Thanks for reading!
