One of my Grandpa's Harmonica's. I grew up listening to him play and have always loved harmonica because of him. He would break it out whenever the mood struck. He gave this to me my senior year of high school.
La Maison et Musée d’Ernest Hemingway à Key West :
Ernest Hemingway a débarqué à Key West (au printemps 1928) avec sa deuxième femme Pauline, sur les conseils de John Dos Passos, autre membre de ce que l'on a appelé la "Génération perdue" (artistes et écrivains américains expatriés à Paris dans les années 1920). En déambulant dans les rues, on peut presque imaginer le style de vie de ce monstre sacré dans les années 1930, du temps d’un autre Key West, celui des parties de pêche, de la prohibition, des cargaisons pirates pour Cuba et de la tempête du siècle de 1935.
Après deux saisons passées à Key West, l’oncle de Pauline acheta, pour le jeune couple, la maison de Whitehead Street, pour 8000 dollars en 1931. La maison en pierre, de style franco-espagnol en vogue à la Nouvelle-Orléans, a été construite en 1851 par Asa Tift (architecte dans la marine et chasseur de trésors dans les épaves). Le domaine étant le deuxième point de sol le plus élevé de l'île de Key West, le calcaire à partir duquel la maison est construite a été excavé directement du sol sous la structure et taillé à la main, grâce à une main-d’œuvre constituée d’esclaves. L'électricité a été ajoutée vers 1899 et la plomberie vers 1944, lorsque Key West a reçu l'eau courante de Florida City. Avant cela, il fallait utiliser l'eau de pluie collectée dans deux réservoirs, l'un entre la maison principale et la remise et l'autre sur le toit de la maison principale.
La villa est à étage et entourée de balcons, avec des portes-fenêtres et de grands volets. La maison de Key West est composée de peu de pièces (mais relativement grandes). A l'abandon depuis 1889 le couple entrepris de grandes rénovations. Les Hemingway l'ont décorée de meubles venus d'Europe (notamment des antiquités espagnoles du XVIIIe siècle), de trophées rapportés de leurs safaris en Afrique ou de leurs parties de chasse dans l'Ouest américain. La collection de lustres a remplacé tous les anciens ventilateurs de plafond. Comme Ernest était également amateur d'art, vous pouvez voir une vue de l'église Saint-Paul peinte par l'artiste local Eugene Otto (sur le mur du fond du salon) et une grande lithographie montre Gregorio Fuentes (cuisinier et compagnon sur le bateau de pêche de Papa Pilar pendant plus de 20 ans). Dans la pièce en face du salon, il y a une chaise Cardinal en cuir rouge (près de la porte) qui aurait été utilisé comme accessoire dans la production de Broadway de La cinquième colonne. Dans cette atmosphère si particulière, un air de « Belle époque » plane dans l’air. Pour les fans de l’écrivain, on retrouve son fauteuil fétiche, d’anciennes photos personnelles de ses voyages autour du globe, et bien sûr sa machine à écrire Royal.
Ernest Hemingway landed in Key West (in the spring of 1928) with his second wife Pauline, on the advice of John Dos Passos, another member of the so-called "Lost Generation" (American artists and writers expatriated in Paris in the 1920s). Walking through the streets, you can almost imagine the lifestyle of this sacred monster in the 1930s, in the days of another Key West, that of fishing trips, prohibition, pirate cargo for Cuba and the storm of the century of 1935.
After two seasons in Key West, Pauline's uncle bought the Whitehead Street house for the young couple for $ 8,000 in 1931. The French-Spanish stone house in vogue in New Orleans, was built in 1851 by Asa Tift (architect in the navy and treasure hunter in wrecks). The estate being the second highest point of soil on the island of Key West, the limestone from which the house is built was excavated directly from the ground under the structure and cut by hand, using a hand work made up of slaves. Electricity was added around 1899 and plumbing around 1944, when Key West received running water from Florida City. Before that, rainwater collected in two tanks had to be used, one between the main house and the shed and the other on the roof of the main house.
The villa is upstairs and surrounded by balconies, with patio doors and large shutters. The house in Key West is made up of few rooms (but relatively large). Abandoned since 1889, the couple undertook major renovations. The Hemingways decorated it with furniture from Europe (notably Spanish antiquities from the 18th century), trophies brought back from their safaris in Africa or from their hunting trips in the American West. The chandelier collection has replaced all the old ceiling fans. As Ernest was also an art lover, you can see a view of the Saint Paul Church painted by local artist Eugene Otto (on the back wall of the living room) and a large lithograph shows Gregorio Fuentes (cook and companion on Papa Pilar's fishing boat for more than 20 years). In the room opposite the living room, there is a Cardinal chair in red leather (near the door) which would have been used as an accessory in the Broadway production of The Fifth Column. In this very special atmosphere, an air of "Belle Epoque" hangs in the air. For fans of the writer, there is his favorite chair, old personal photos from his travels around the globe, and of course his Royal typewriter.

First an important announcement: today is my birthday! :-D
And since it is my birthday, I had really hard time of being frustrated of anything.
But when I had to go to the store today and I grabbed my keys I realized that there's something I'm frustrated about.
In my key ring there's of course the key to my house, but what is so frustrating are all the things I need in order to get to my workplace: a key, three electronic tags for different gates and doors, id cards. One would think that I work in a high security goverment office, but no, I work in a ordinary company, that has nothing to do with anything that would demand so much security.
I suppose that's just how things are nowadays, we have to be behind locked doors.
For MacroMondays theme “Frustrations”
Happy MM everyone!
My Great-Grandfather had died some time ago and so, as a post death birthday party, all of my family had gathered together to celebrate his life one last time.
During the celebration, we had made key chimes out of things he owned, and he had owned a lot, but while creating the chime, I had found a lock with an interesting zig-zag keyhole sitting on the table with the keys, so I decided to find the key, and find it I did.
Now this key and the lock it went to sits on my dresser, forever reminding me of the man who had made my life, my mother's life, and my grandmother's life, so much more joyful.
Could be! Florida East Coast (US Sugar) 148 mingles with the palms as it probably did when it ran to Key West before the Labor Day 1935 hurricane that destroyed the "overseas" railway. No. 148 is one of three FEC 4-6-2s purchased by US Sugar from the FEC which ultimately resulted in their preservation. The other two are at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami. An FEC 0-8-0 once displayed in Ft. Pierce is now stored on US Sugar property at their Bryant Yard.
Columbia, the goddess of patriotism, is flanked by an adolescent boy (War) & younger boy (Music), an allegorical representation of Key's inspiration of his poem "Defence of Fort McHenry" while witnessing the bombardment of that fort by the British Royal Navy during the War of 1812.

I made some Key Lime cookies with Key Lime Frosting. 💚🍪 My son had bought the cookie mix and frosting awhile back, and I decided this would be a good day to make it.💚
Well, I guess I could climb over but I guess there's a good reason for these old gates being locked!

Ilford Sprite 35-II - not sure about fantastic but definitely plastic !
It's an entry level plastic camera which is not designed to be repaired. 😂 Serial #210802
From Ilford websites:
Since inception in 1879, ILFORD has been a name associated with photography. Whilst the company has evolved over the years, the drive to provide our customers with world-class products is as strong as it was over 140 years ago.

The Ilford Sprite 35-II a fun and affordable way to jump into analogue photography!
There are plenty of good reasons why some love the authentic look and feel of film-generated photographs; there’s also the discipline of having only 24 or 36 exposures to work with, and the anticipation of having a roll developed. Then there’s the desire to slow down from the relentless pace of digital technology and instant gratification
Back in the 1960s, few cameras were easier to use and more affordable than the Sprite 35. Forget shutter speeds, aperture, or light meters – just load a roll of film, hit the shutter button, and press the film lever. It was an attractive camera for people who wanted to capture a few snaps without fussing about the right settings.
The Ilford Sprite 35-II continues that heritage and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a camera that’s ‘no frills’ simple. It’s a step up from disposable cameras, and being re-usable, it won’t create extra waste.
The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, perfect for capturing most well-focused daylight scenes, and also features a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night time shooting.

A visit to Farmoor Reservoir in mid August hoping to see a Kingfisher that had been reported at Shrike Meadow.
On the long walk back to the car park i took the opportunity to photograph the Great Crested Grebes that reside on the reservoir.
