My Single Reflex

I can listen to the same song for hours at a time. I can eat the same food for lunch for weeks at a time (carrots and Jalepeno & Cilantro hummus from Publix). I spent three years with a group of guys playing the same map on Halo (Hang 'Em High) every Monday night from about 6:30 pm until 1 or 2 am. Repetition doesn't bother me. I hate taking the same way to the same place every time and want to always drive down roads I've never seen before. I want to try new things at old restaurants...to see what my next favorite thing might be. I never drink two of the same beers when I'm out...it's an opportunity to find something I might miss by just sticking with what I know I love. Doing the same thing over and over drives me crazy. Maybe sunrises and sunsets are the best thing for my soul. Every morning, every night comes the next iteration in a not-quite-timeless string of sunrises and sunsets. Repetition. But... Never the same, each offering a wildly or imperce...

ahhhh...church in the tropics. why don't we all live there? well, not in church....in the tropics.

roosters roam everywhere on Key West. they're in low-income neighborhoods and the parking lots of 5-star hotels. they strut down the main drag, and hide on porches on side streets. and they're all so very colorful. reds, yellows, teals, greens, blacks, blues...you can find all sorts of colors on different ones, and some have almost all of them.

my wife...a little overexposed on the Naples pier. seriously, i played with this shot for half an hour and even when the exposure was so high that only her eyes showed up she was still stunning!

my wife. :-) this was the view off our balcony in our Key West hotel room. well, my view. she didn't see herself in the frame... :-)

we were getting ready to leave Key West, so i walked to get the car (a little further than Brooke or I realized). while walking i passed this house and snapped a couple of pics.
