These images were all captured in Monica's Garden

 --

I spent many hours in the yarden on Seidenberg Ave, my first year, my first home in Key West. 

Monica's touch, her knowledge and love of Key West flora, is a treasure and a gift to our little island. 

Thank you Monica!

Hemi the Cat: diggin' the scene on Catherine Street

trawling for snacks - off Edgewater Drive on the way to Dunedin

home sweet home I'll see you soon

Road trip - off to the mainland -

Moseying up the Keys and on up to the Tampa Bay area - Clearwater - time to finally clear out storage - remnants of an era - my home is Key West now - a great place to grow old or get hit by a  Trolley Tour Bus - either way, what a way to go.

Boogie growing out her summer cut; Oct. '10

The Many Faces of Boogie the Cat; February 5, 2011

my first guitar...

I had the option of playing it like a monkey grinder(und I did) or playing the strings --
My first memory of that guitar --> holding it,
monkey grinding it and whiling away the time
trying to forget I had the childhood pox,
covered in calamine and music.
I was nearly three years old.

example, mickey mouse guitar 1956
