Duval Street in Key WestBloom on a orchid tree seen along Duval Street in Key West, Florida
Orchid trees have spectacular blooms. Most of the time they have blooms that are this mauve color. However, we have spotted a few that had white blooms. One orchid tree with white blooms is located at the U.S. Post Office on Whitehead Street in Key West. If you go looking for that white orchid tree it is located on the southwest side of the parking lot --- between the parking lot and the post office building. As I recall Joyce took this picture in front of a home on south Duval Street in February.
Feral chicken with chicks hiding under a giant crinum lily along Duval Street
Some things are unique to Key West and feral chickens is one of those things. Cuban emigrants brought their fighting chickens with them when they settled Key West long ago. As you are aware it is no longer legal to fight "cocks". These old fighting chickens were set free and roam Key West. In fact they are protected by law. This hen with several small chicks was hiding under a giant crinum lily in a small yard just feet from busy Duval Street. Several thousand people a day walk the sidewalk Joyce is standing on to take this picture. That is totally amazing. I wonder how many people walking by here spot these chicks and that hen. Beautiful old home along the the southern end of Duval Street

Joyce and Jasmine posing in front of the Bull & Whistle Bar on Duval Street
Jasmine worked at the Bull on the corner of Caroline and Duval Streets in Key West. The Bull is noted for great entertainers that play from around noon each day until sometime after 2am. The Bull is also noted for the murals that adorn all walls inside the Bull. Stop inside and see how many of the famous individuals you can name.
