Miami Beach Cityscape
I took this photo while my mother was driving. It is hard to know if the place still looks the same. The people there are always building a bunch of skyscrapers. We have seen a couple of abandoned buildings. Some of them were as large as skyscrapers. It makes me think that for all that effort, nobody has done much with the place for weeks. If the land has not received any usage, why not turn it into a parking lot or something. The think that never changes is the traffic. There is traffic here and there and everywhere. There...
Miami Beach as it Used to Be
In the old days, Miami Beach was this crowded. It is still this way somewhat. Still, it is not what it used to be. This day was one of those days when the beach was clean. There was not a piece of rotting grass on the ocean. The waves were also rather mild indeed. It has been far too much time since we went to Miami Beach. I eventually got bored of the place. As of now, I have been desiring to visit the Keys a bit. Each road has plenty to look at. When we visited, there was a...
Miami Beach on a Crowded Day
This is another one of the photos I took while I used to visit Miami Beach. It feels like a decade since I last visited the beach. A decade is a bit of an exaggeration. I think it should be about a year. There is going to be some construction projects there now. Most of them are going to be road problems. Roads in this country tend to take an eternity or two to be completed. There is usually like two guys doing nothing. At other times, there is not even the guys. There are just some tractors blocking the...
My Newest Rose
A day or so ago, my rose bloomed. I have been trying to tend to my rose bush for a couple of weeks. I decided to water the plants a bit. From time to time, I pour a bit of milk to take care of some issues. I think it was to take care of the milkweed or something. I forget. Anyhow, while watering the plants, the rose finally bloomed. My garden has some issues with draining. Most of the water I pour slips by really easily. The Hibiscus tree is doing a lot better. It has plenty of open...
A park in the Caribbean Hotel
This is a photo I took a couple of years ago. It has been a bit mellowed out around the edges. I am working here and there. This is something to consider around the edges. I am just mellowed around the edges. Last night, we did a little craft project or whatever. I got a bunch of picture frames to hang a couple of lithographs. When we started hanging them, we could not figure out how to hang the paintings. We ended up combining Velcro and a bunch of other things. Brother created a wire hang up, by cutting a...
