If I recall correctly, this was the vantage point I had while lying in a hammock hung between two palm trees on the beach at the Casa Marina Resort in Key West. I was lying in the aforementioned hammock with a previously discussed paperback book, all 800-or-so pages of which I finished within a day of arriving home. In other words, I had looooooooong stretches of relaxing, uninterrupted time … lying in a hammock … on the beach … in Key West.
At one point, I was even sharing a hammock with my lovely bride.
I didn’t even have to crop this image … because, like, it’s perfect—as is pretty much everything when you’re lying in a hammock with the love of your life on the beach in Key West.

Nice. My last hammock/palm tree experience was much less relaxing, because mostly what they have in Puerto Rico is coconut palms. Staring up at these hairy, five-pound nuts, wondering when they were going to fall on my head, did not provide the sort of stress relief usually associated with hammocks.
I’m glad you had a good vacation.
What a sweet thing to say about your wife…
I wish I was sitting under a palm tree right now, margarita in hand, watching the tropical birds fly around… but NOPE, i’m in FREEZING CT… i loved that pic you took though… brought me back to my love of the carribbean… even if it was only for a short while…
Dave: Yeah, the hairy-five-pound-nuts-over-my-head thing would be a little disconcerting, I would imagine … at any weight, actually.
Missy: Thanks for the compliment on the pic; glad it gave you a momentary escape from our New England winter!
