A creative flower curating a simple, artistic life.
The sky was slowly darkening and the seagulls that populated Whitehead were starting to fly away in different directions or perch themselves in hidden nooks and crannies. As for myself, I had finished working on a new drawing and had leaned back against the coarse rock-like cliff to drift off to the sounds of the [...]
For the first time in several days, the weather in north Florida decided to cooperate and become fair again. My mood was in a deep hole of depression and anger for days and I knew I had to leave the house for fresh air and sunshine. So, after a warm shower, I got dressed, hopped [...]
It was time to return to the mainland due to me missing its convenience for several weeks. But today, the weather wasn’t cooperating with the many ships out at sea and a viscous fog hung menacingly over the ocean. No amount of visibility from the island for miles away.
