Key West - The flowers are starting to come out

 

One of the most beautiful flowers seen in Key West

Our routine is to take a walk around the area in the afternoon. In most years, we walked on the sunny side of the street in February and on the shady side in March. This year, it’s different. It’s been much warmer than usual so we’ve seeked the shade to stay cool. 

Perhaps not as stunning but a very pure color

The warmer than usual weather has encouraged the flowers to display so on today’s walk, I snapped a few shots of sidewalk beauties. I’m not up on the names of the flowers, if they look pretty, I’ll take a photo. 

Grows on trees along the sidewalk

It was 81 today for a high and we dressed to stay cool. However, 81 is not all that warm for some of the locals. One guy on a bike passed us today wearing a hooded sweatshirt while peddling his bike. I took a photo for proof!

Our last flower of the day - delicate hues. 

We are due for high winds tonight starting around 11:00 pm and lasting all day Saturday but the low with the north winds is still only 67 and the high will still reach in the upper 70s, not too bad for wintertime.
