Hotel Balcony

Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)

This is another one of my Miami Beach travel photos. I thought it looked cool, with the way I had opened the window. It has a bit of a cubism partition about it. This is the view from the Eden Rock. I took the photo just after the Hurricane Irma. I really got to stop talking about that stupid Hurricane. It was really horrible. It also did not help much that it lasted for almost two days. It was a really slow Hurricane, with really strong winds. I actually did an entire episode about it for my manga. 

I think an actual tornado actually flew over my house. There was a lot of rattling, and the windows were shacking something fierce. The good thing about it is that Florida doesn't produce any strong tornadoes. They will never be as bad as an F1. The only thing that it did was throw out a bunch of branches from our trees. We did end up having one fall on the neighbor's backyard. It was sad that we had it cut down. I thought it was dead, but with the rains the three is growing back. 

The entire garden has been doing dandy since the rains returned. We did not let it rot. As soon as the Hurricane left, we cleaned up the entire place in a single day. We removed all the tiny fallen branches and the leaf as well. We also went into the corner and picked up all the carpenter ant houses. They had been eating the main trees for a long time. We could not see it because of the large bushes. It was really hot and the like. We almost died from the heat a couple of times, but we got the placed cleaned up in a jiffy.
