1271. Wishing Tree

 

We are vacationing on Anna Maria Island where the island is in various stages of recovery from the two recent hurricanes.  It is really remarkable that so much progress has been made to recover.  

My favorite place on the island is Bean Point, which is where the Gulf of Mexico meets Tampa Bay.  It's a quieter section of beach and I like that.  Prior to the hurricane, my favorite little vignette included a couple of tall trees and some other smaller trees jetting out among rocks and shells.  The two major trees were uprooted in the hurricane and there was a plan to remove them, but people rejected that idea, and now we have Wishing Trees all over the island.  People have placed shells all over the roots and I love it.  I'm also excited that these large rocks entangled in the tree's roots showed up in the form of a heart.
