Last Sunset in the Tree Fort





Counting down. only two more of these left in the keys. sunsets like this one is just one of the many things i'll miss, like outside showers, chocolate covered keylime pie on a stick, crazy people on mopeds and bikes, drunks trying to talk about art, kiteboarding in winds upwards of 30 mph with glass-slick water a few inches deeper than the fins of the board, wearing baggies and flip flops in february!

this is a tree fort nick (my landlord when i'm here) built that is suspended 30 feet up in the trees with a gorgeous view of the sunsets high above the tree line. i sat up there a many a night drinking a red bull thinking how lucky i was to be doing what i'm doing. i want to really give props to my wife for being the best wife a man could have. she puts up with me being gone all the time and never says a word. any guy would be lucky to have one like her. thanks annie! be home soon.

Mike,great post. I too have a super supportive spouse and that makes a huge difference in how productive I am. She used to be a videographer and editor, so she has a creative side and understands my creative side and why I MUST PAINT! Hope you have a safe trip back. The weather is warming up here in NC!
