There is a place on St John called Miss Lucy's, which has some great brunch and dinner specials. These are conch fritters with mango sauce. The conch is the pretty shell that people hold to their ear to hear the "waves".
Anyway, eating right by the ocean is a treat in and of itself.
A curious chicken sat on a chair at our table eyeing our dinner.
Here is her little one.
There were also goats running around the property next to the restaurant. Here is a pic of a cute baby goat.
Hello friends. I had to get away to warm weather and beaches and am now back in the cold Chicago weather. If you ordered something while I was away, it will be shipped now.
I was with family in the US Virgin Islands and mostly St John. I had a great time and took many photos. I didn't draw or paint even though I brought my sketchbook and materials.
But I learned a lot and am inspired for the new year and my art!
I want to share some photos from a couple years ago near Key West, Florida at the botanical gardens and also Hemingways Florida home.
If I am feeling down, I could just say the name of this tree "Blolly" and I would feel a smile form on my face.
Lots of greenery here.
And up here.
Here is the Hemingway house at Key West, FL.
Hemingway House kitchen (I painted a picture of this.)
One of the many Hemingway cats. (I also painted this!)
