Islamorada Tropical Flowers
During my trip to Islamorada, I took a decent number of photos of tropical flowers. Some were native, others were planted by the owners of the establishments. Orchids seem to grow well in that location. Then again, it has been raining a lot. Rain and heat work well for orchids.

I have yet to be bitten by a bee. I want to avoid having that experience....

I included the original photo so you...
BJD Doll Titania Portrait and Poses Photoshoot

The artist responsible for making these dolls has certainly improved its skill. In the photoshoot, I used my bicycle as part of a prop. I can anchor the fairy wings to it easily. This...
The Sacred Mask Setting
Read the book: The Sacred Mask II - Kindle edition by Blanco, Teresita. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. Today I wanted to rant a little more about my Sacred Mask Book. This time I wanted to talk about the setting. I already mentioned the characters a bit, over the top. I do not want to reveal too much of the plot. I would much rather you read the book. The main action of all the books takes place in the City State Wallen. Wallen originally started as a little fishing hamlet. The residents there were former slaves, fishermen,...
