Walking My Pug…Tiki Bar Sign Artist Shares Siesta Key
Dog Walkhttp://www.rhondakwrites.com
Sadie the Sales Pug takes a day off walking her neighborhood.
Sadie often does shows with me. We live in Siesta Key. I try to treat her Pug Rescue butt well. This is our walk and the things we thing
about when working on new work. Lots of PALM TREES.

Sadie the Sales Pug takes a day off walking her neighborhood.
This is Sadie’s Beach. It is called “Shell Beach.” Consistently the richer folks try to take this beach over. It is not a “deeded beach.” It is a public
beach. Back in the “day” a lot of streets in Siesta Key ended in public beaches. Shell Beach is one of the
last ones. This portion of the beach should be bought by Sarasota County . It is clearly a wet land situation that should be administrated by the EPA, condemned by the County and turned into a County
Park.
President Bush managed this sort of action for a stadium project, so you’d think the Sarasota Republicans could suck it up
and do the same thing.

When we go for a walk, Sadie always tries to love up on
Boston. He’s a really super smart boy. He is also a throw away. A girl who had him threw him away
and Bob, my friend took him over. He is always waiting for her to come back and throw a ball.
Sadie loves him…but after almost a year he’s beginning to
sort of like her.
These are both wonderful used dogs.

This house is going up in my neighborhood. What they don’t know the roof wood is substandard. As a ..wood repurposer..that roof wood
splinters and expands under the most minor of rains. So far, they’ve not been good neighbors. I can’t even use wood cast offs for my art..
This Mcmansion is going to leak. A lot.Wouldn’t want to wait out a hurricane in it.

The Sades ( rhymes is jades ) probably has no
opinion on the issue of who is ruining the neighborhood. But she listens to my rants.
Good Girl.
One thing for sure…Sadie IS NOT ruining neighborhood.

Because the Sadie and I walk past A LOT of
mailboxes, you’re going to see a few here. This
mailbox reads:CAMP HECTOR.
As this isn’t a commercial thing, it is the owner thing. On one side he has sailing vessels and on the other pelicans. There’s a lot of pelican art in this area.

This is the trawler behind Camp Hector.
These are steady on the intra-coastal and
usually attract dolphins with their inboards.
Nice reflection of a storm building sky in the
water.
A lot of these home owners have “sail boat” water. That is OK for a 5 ft. draft sailing vessel.
A trawler often has a shallow draft.

After the pug and I get across the road…past Camp Hector …there is the Garden
of Eden parcel of land for sale. It is AMAZING.
That is what is fascinating about Siesta Key. It isn’t that
built up. It has sections of wild. Sometimes a
McMansion is by a regular 70’s style single family
home.
This is about 3 potential lots of HEAVEN…or one for a big
pocketed buyer.
Meantime, the pug and I trespass in heaven.

There are two docks on this garden of Eden for sale parsel. Only one is solid. This is the view from it.

This is Chaquita.
She doesn’t LOVE Sadie. But she MIGHT one day.

.This is your basic Florida
scrub palm tree. If you ever see an artist paint a smooth one…a straight one…
one that narrows at the top…they are
lying artistically.Florida scrub
palms are their own story. One
by one.

.This is the road to where I live. What is sexy about Siesta
Key is there are still a lot of
unpaved roads to paradise.

I have a big thing for hibiscus.

Siesta Key is the first part of the South where a lot of wild, exoctic
palms begin to grow.http://www.rhondakwrites.com
This is a great example of a Florida mailbox. Snook. Old school anchor.

Another Siesta Key unpaved road to heaven. For sale. On this lot AS IS…lots of flowering trees, flowering vines and more. Bees. Butterflies. This would be a great park. Sadie loves this place. One day it will sell.

Siesta Key has a lot of palms…this is a rare fruit tree. Plums..right? Unusual too is not a locked or electronic gate…but a chain. Siesta Key is complicated.

This is my favorite Siesta Key mailbox. It is an old outboard, a tiki, a crab trap, a crab buoy and a post. FANTASTIC!

This has been a pugs eye view of my neighborhood.
For the minute I live in a luxurious place with mad fertile palms and a beautiful shore.
I know it is temporary so we enjoy it every minute.
Thank you for walking with us.
