Beautiful piece and timely for the Johnson's since we've been thinking of visiting there in March. I'm going to send this to my wife. It will be a kind of visual guidebook.
Great essay, editorially and visually. I haven’t been to Florida to photograph in more than decade, but this sure reminds of places i visited. And i am also reminded of WARM as it dumps 2’ snow this week. I would like to start packing bag now. Camera that is.
Great article Lara, as always. Glad to hear that Anna Maria Island hasn’t been overdeveloped and still maintains the old Florida feel. We used to visit it frequently in the mid 80’s when we lived in Seminole and always enjoyed our visits.
Lol! My grandmother lived in Clewiston! I spent many weeks in the summers there as a kid. The only other time I've seen it mentioned in writing is one line in a Stephen King novel (The Stand, I think).
Anna Maria is my fave beach town. Used to go there in the 90's and stay at a Mom and Pop motel with our dogs. If you think it's laid back now, you should have seen it then.

One day I will take my wife, it does sound lovely, simple, peaceful.

Well done Lara!

Great post and photos, too!
