In 2005, my darling Mo introduced me to a show that was on television in the 90s called 'Key West'! It was wonderful and as a result I was ready to visit the island when a few months later he took me to see the real deal (in February when it was snowing here in Denver). Needless to say, I fell in love!

But Key West is more than a vacation resort or even an island at the end of the Keys in Florida: It is magic and wonder and innocence and wantonness all rolled into one. In Key West "there are angels in the spray, wizards in the palm trees, and elves in the seashells and they all look very favorably on struggling young writers."* And one hopes, the not so young (like me!).

Although I reside in the Mile-High city in my "real" life there is the home of my heart... the End of the World, the Land beyond Time, Key West. Key West became, for me, the Place of my imagination. The location where "things" happen that can't really be accounted for and seem beyond explanation.

It is my hope that amidst the incarnate you will see some of the ineffable. Hope you enjoy!

Last flowers of summer

Labels: , , ,

A week and a half ago, we were on a walk in the foothills and I took this picture.  

Today the hills are covered in snow (and no, I am not going out there to take a picture!). It's possible they may have made it through the storm, but winter has made it's presence known and I am already feeling the denseness of the cold. I hang on to warm weather as long as I can in spirit and in mind because I need it to survive the shortened days and brittle winds of winter. 
So here's to holding on to the last flowers of summer.

  1. I understand some folks actually LIKE winter. I'm not one of them.

  2. Pretty picture. It's been so warm in Ohio this fall that my tomato plants keep blossoming. I think that's over. The cold is here.

  3. I have some late blooming violets on my porch but I'm not sure they'll make it through the snow we're expecting tonight. If we do get snow, it will be early. And I haven't even carved my punkin' yet!

    I just love dropping by your blog. I am always treated to a lovely "natural" work of art.
