The Setting Sun

Sunset is my favorite time of day. You never know how it will look or what colors you will find. Sometimes its a dusty pink or a dark blue or even a mix of the two for a beautiful shade of purple but the most spectacular is when it's that bright orange as in the photo I took in Key West. This photo was not digitally enhanced. That sunset was just like this....breathtakingly beautiful.

Jamaican Dreams

I was thinking this morning as I was listening to the weather, that I need another Caribbean Cruise!  This cold weather sucks. I'm so tired of it.

My friend Charmaine invited me to go to Key West next month. She goes very year for a month. Last year I went. We had such a good time.  I stayed for almost a week.  This year I turned her down because I was worried about Dad after the stroke. It looks like with all that's happening with him and the congestive heart failure that I probably made a good decision.

But after all this is over I need to go south. In the meantime, I will just keep having my Jamaican Dreams...I painted this little  mixed media ACEO a year or so ago. It's me (okay so I made myself a little skinnier!) having Jamaican dreams....maybe one day soon when life returns to normal and my Dad is in good health I can turn the dreams into reality.
