So different from the Phil Collin’s song… yours Paradise seems a lot better.
Sorry meant this…
One day at a time would be heaven in a place like that.
Yes! I cannot do the cold weather anymore but there are definitely trade offs to consider when you end up here! 🙂
Woah, you used such beautiful delicious words and language in this🧡
Thank you dear Jude. That’s how I feel when I read your work! ☺️🥰

I’m sure someone makes them! Lol ☺️ Thanks Lis

I like the use of colour in the first stanza, Christine, so evocative of sunset. I smiled at the ‘Tall Mexican Fan Palms…like giant swizzle sticks / waiting to stir an evening cocktail.’
Thanks Kim. I love the colors of sunset. It’s different every night. Yes, those palms make me smile every time I look at them ☺️
Beautiful imagery.

I thought you were going to play us some Jimmy Buffet music! I liked your images in this one. The palms as swizzle sticks was a great one!
Lol! Yes Dwight I should have included some Buffet! Thank you ☺️
