Sunset at Key West, Florida

Waiting for the sun to set at Key West is a fun adventure.  There is so much going on at the docks here with vendors of every sort selling their wares along with performers of men eating fire and tight rope walking. Fun - however on this very warm eve the end of Feb of 2012 I made the mistake of sitting on the dock next to hubby Earl without watching where I sat and landed my touche in some lovely melted gum!!! Yuck!!  I was so disgusted and so were all the folks around me and was able to pick most off my pants but you know, really.... Loved watching the sun set and all the boaters out there enjoying it as well. No green flash but we read it has to be clear in order to see the green flash.  We have seen it in Hawaii but it only lasts a second or two and is hard to see anyway.  Earl keeps his eyes open for it though.  Long drive back to home afterwards but not a lot of traffic and with temps in high 70's even at evening it is quite pleasant out!

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
