The Heart & Soul of a Conch~

Wow, I really thought this post would be a breeze to write ~ I was wrong.  But, here we go...through Facebook, I became acquainted with a man named Henry Fuller.  Henry lives 100 miles from me in Key West.  I have yet to meet Henry face to face ~ yet I hope to eventually.  A self-titled peace & love maker, Henry shares his heart & soul with those fortunate enough to have a connection with him be it personal or electronic.  In reality, I have a strong suspicion that even the electronic connections are personal to Henry...something I really love about him.  Henry is also a true Conch* ~ born, raised & living his life on his beloved island, Cayo Hueso*  Fast forward...just this morning I sent Henry a message asking permission to share some of his photos in my blog.  Much to my delight he graciously responded with a yes;  he asked for no recognition as he does what he does in the name of love & peace.  He will, however, receive his proper due when I share his photos with my readers.  I'll be posting them from time to time and always look for them in my sidebar photos.   I hope you enjoy Key West through the eyes of my friend as much as I do ~ thank you, Henry!

Simply Beautiful!

What a place for a siesta!

Well, it's now time to commune with my paints and coconuts...I can almost hear them calling.  Looks like it's going to be a beautiful sunset ~ I might have to peddle to the other side of the island tonight....

Peace to all~

*  The terms Conch & Cayo Hueso are a whole other post of their own so for the sake of brevity a Conch is a lifelong resident of Key West (with variations depending upon with whom you speak) and Cayo Hueso is the original Spanish name of the island; it means Bone Key.
