Right! I never told you where I was going (this assumes "you" are not someone who got to hear my original ranty tale of the stupid airline over the phone). I was in the glorious, creative, inspiring town of Key West Florida.

Did you know that chickens are a protected bird there? Yep, and they wander around free, peeping and clucking and crowing. The roosters are especially handsome

I've been to Key West a few times before and have so many favorite places there it would take far too long to talk about all of them. But I'll tell you about one- The Key West Butterfly House. It is a magical place that defies description, so I'll just show you a few pictures



Butterflies, finches, babbling brooks, pools full of koi and flowers everywhere. If it weren't for the steamy temperature that is best for the health of the fluttery ones, I could spend all day there.

I took a few videos-- a funny one of a butterfly boxing. You can hear my mom in the background noting that in fact it may be a moth.

And one of a butterfly just being a butterfly

If you want to see more pictures of Key West (mostly wildlife and flowers), I created a photoset on Flickr.

Now I'm back in San Francisco, where miraculously the nasturtium seeds I planted before I left have sprung up and gotten all leafy. I realise that it is nearly winter and what am I doing planting seeds, but I just wanted to try and see if they would work. They did, and I hope they make it!

And now back to the business of NaNoWriMo and other productive things!
