Lover’s Key is a small group of mangrove islands located in Lee County between Ft. Myers Beach, Fl, and Bonita Beach. It’s right on the Gulf of Mexico. The islands are collectively known as Lover’s Key State Park (formerly Carl E. Johnson Park). Inland backwaters full of fish, birds, and marine life, separate the islands from each other. Boats with motors are not allowed within the Park, but motorboats are allowed in the Gulf and Bay waters surrounding the Park, and there is a boat ramp within the park. This is to protect the abundant wildlife, which includes -manatees, dolphins, various herons and roseate spoonbills, ospreys, bald eagles, raccoons, rabbits, squirrels, snook, mullet, rays, and a large variety of shellfish. a real friend is someone who takes a winter vacation on a sun-drenched beach and does not send a card —Farmer’s Almanac

The Shell Maiden / / I come from the rain of sky and sea, caught / on the web of a shoreline daisy, braced low / and spinning in carnival delight with the / kiss of Pacifica’s mist. I come from the company of driftwood and seashells, bleached white as a wedding train waiting to be worn. The waves roll like a wedding march / announcing the union of land and deep blue dreams. / They bring a dowry of tangled vines and sand dollar spines, / and my heart says YES to this sailors treasure. I come from the flutter of dry seaweed, / no longer rich with Oceana’s brine, and yet / adorning the beach with seafoam flare, / like rice and petals clinging to the foot of a runaway bride. Bring me the delicacies of your wedding feast, snapped up in the yellow of a jealous lover’s bill, for I am treading softly here on honeymoon beds of ancient sand, / inscribing moon colored vows / on the framework / of whales.

So there you are, deep under the waves, enjoying a couple of mimosas with your Sunday brunch, and along comes a naked lady driving a giant conch shell drawn by a seahorse. Well, it’s enough to put you off your cocktails for a time, isn’t it? Fear not (and drink up!), it’s just Marcella and her fabulous Conch Carriage out for a drive! And though she tends to dress down on Sundays, you’ll never catch Marcella without her nautilus hat. It’s been rumored that if you offer to buy her a drink, she’ll race a school of groupers for your amusement – quite inexpensive as entertainment goes. Perfect as a companion piece to Emma the Nautilus-naut. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

If you have not had the opportunity to spend any time several leagues under the ocean lately, you may not have realized just how stylish undersea travel has become. Witness Emma in her clever Nautilus shell craft, gently conveyed along the currents of the briny deep by her pet miniature whale, Fathom. With a her parasol to protect her from falling krill and a sonar horn in the event of traffic jam, Emma loves cruising the colorful coral reefs and continental shelves on Sunday afternoon. With plenty of room below for hitchhikers and stowaways and a turbo propeller for passing power, the Nautilus is the seacraft of choice for the hip underwater set, to be sure! Great as a companion piece to Marcella and her Conch Carriage. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

Featured Art 23 September 2009 / The Beauty of Nature Pū is the Hawaiian name for Conch Shell. A gift from the Ocean, the Pū emerges from the life giving waters with a sound that flows across the ‘Aina ( land ) and Kai (the ocean). The blowing of the Pu, a deep part of the Hawaiian culture, has multiple uses and communicates various meanings in both Religious and secular traditions. Blowing the Pū is sometimes used before a ceremony to mark the official beginning. To blow the Pū is a call to the divine. The blowing of the Pū should always be accompanied by protocol. When it’s blown, how many times and in which directions all have a complex set of meanings. The Hawaiian cultural practice of blowing the Conch shell dates back to ancient times and continues in many present day traditions. Here on Maui as well as the other Hawaiian Islands, Indonesia and the Indian Ocean, sacred protocol surround the blowing of the Pu and define when, where, for what purpose, how many times and in which directions the Pu may be blown. When done properly, the blowing of the Pu produces a sound which can carry for miles across land and sea. This beautiful and distinctive resonance once heralded the arrival of Ali’i (Royalty), the beginning of Makahiki season, and many other notable events. Special shells are cherished and handed down from generation to generation. The Triton trumpet shell is the most common type Pu used today. Many collectors and tourist have little idea of the cultural significance and of the beautiful animal which produced and lived inside this shell. The shell’s spotted inhabitant is the largest snail in Hawaiian waters and the second largest in the Indo-Pacific. When permitted to mature undisturbed, Triton’s trumpets may reach as much as 20 inches in length. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.
