KEY WEST: FRONT DOORS & PHOTOS FOR FRIDAY

I was raised on a stoop. Up north, the front door and entrance to a home had some significance and presence. You don't see that much down here in South Florida, especially in our cookie cutter communities... BUT, since most of the original settlers down south in Key West were from the north, attention has been paid to the front door. So, to close the door on this weeks feature Key West Week and for this weeks Photos For Friday... I present to you...

The Doors of Key West...

Looks like this one

may have forgotten something...

One stoop to nowhere...

Although some were so colorful,

and my fave doors are these blue ones...

My fave house

was in Key Lime green...

And as the ad says

"Come visit Key West

because

you only have one life to live"...

I hope this series opened the door for you

for a new place to travel too...

Above is a cat named  

Key West Jake

(found on Facebook)

He looks JUST like our cat - Sephora!

For further reading on the history of Key West,

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

KEY WEST - AMERICANA STYLE

Hard to believe, but here comes SUMMERTIME! How are you going to kick things off this Memorial weekend? A staycation hangin' by the pool? A trip on the Jitney up to The Hampton's? Fleet Week in the City? A family caravan headed to the shores of Cape May, Wildwood, or Sandy Hook Beach? Why not fly down to the Southern Most Tip of the USA: Key West?

This weeks Photos for Friday:

KEY WEST - AMERICAN STYLE

There is a vacancy...

Come on down...

Sittin' in the shade...

for the lazy days of Summer...

Did you know -

Key West has a White House,

presidents have stayed at and it's open to the public...

Even if you can't make it down here, you can create

a Memorial Day tribute at your own home,

like these featured in the Outdoor Spaces
