Private Property

In Florida, we take a walk Adjacent to the bay, With stunning views and gorgeous homes We pass along the way. Each house has land across the path With water access, plus A swath of lawn with chairs or swings Which aren’t meant for us. For signs say “Private Property,” In other words, keep out! Some also read “No Trespassing” In case we were in doubt. At least we get to see the bay And all that goes with it, The balcony in our hotel A lovely place to sit.

- We don't have "Private property" signs ... but stay away from other people's property ... - I don't want tourists visiting my garden - A balcony with a beautiful sea view sounds wonderful ... have a lovely holiday, Ilene :) - hugs

In Canada beach front is all public property. Some still post sighs which are happily ignored. I’m glad you found a lovely place to sit. Thanks for your visit.
