It's camellia season!
Time to enjoy them as they don't last too long. Sadly some of these flowers were on the floor already 😞

The world is in a terrible state, and we are all tired of war, climate breakdown, bad politics, and idiots. On top of that, it's Monday. However (at least where I am) the sun is out, the early frost is fading, the spring flowers are putting on a brave show, and the camelias are still in full bloom.

Denise Rosi Grahan, an accomplished artist, has created a remarkable piece titled "untitled" which beautifully represents the charm of Key West and the Florida Keys. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this artwork truly embody the essence and appeal of the area.This image depicts a charming, whimsical scene of a coastal town. The focal point is a tall, white lighthouse with a red roof, standing proudly against a vibrant blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The lighthouse is surrounded by quaint, colorful buildings with intricate details, each with their own unique character. Palm trees sway gently in the breeze, adding a tropical touch to the scene. A small sign on one of the buildings reads "Eat Pepes," hinting at the local culinary delights. This idyllic tableau is further enhanced by the presence of several small, yellow birds flying across a calm, blue water, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. The image is likely a piece of art, showcasing the creative use of textures and colors to capture the essence of a coastal town.
