The lifeline is speeding along white pavement, lifting onto the stilted bridge, shades of blue water and islands thick with mangroves, hand surfing the wind outside the rolled down window, hair blowing wild.

  2. I just took my first trip to the Keys last month so it is great to be reminded of their beauty. I found the mangroves and how they form and interlink fascinating. Nice photo!

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.
