I borrowed my wife's Vespa ET4 while she was vacationing recently in Nicaragua. I always enjoy getting back in the saddle of her 150cc scooter, the perfect urban ride: .jpg)
Looking into the alley from Eaton Street it's obvious the lane isn't that big:.jpg)
This sort of jumble of machines usually indicates a guest house with bikes to rent, but it could just be one of the usual multiple dwelling arrangements so common in Key West...

Gecko Lane has the usual mixture of homes, nicely maintained in this case:.jpg)

With splendid solar water heating panels on the roof in this case:.jpg)
And tall enough to see out over the rooftops: .jpg)
There is of course plenty of greenery to be found, rampant vines:.jpg)
This purple thing. Is it any surprise I have no clue what it might be called? .jpg)
And a canopy of wide bright green leaves that captivated me. .jpg)
I did manage to spot some artwork in this narrow lane, including these Polynesian looking columns supported by some rather crude turquoise ropes:.jpg)
A red door with an attractive peep hole popped into the middle:.jpg)
And a cast iron dragon, Sui Generis I hope, supporting a carriage lantern:.jpg)

This closing shot, looking back down the lane toward Eaton Street highlights my favorite colors, white green and blue in this case with a few splashes of orange from the fading flame tree..jpg)
Another aspect of summer in the Keys, still air and vibrant colors.

Ah, I have walked Gecko lane actually.
Is this a repost?
Not being critical, I just thought your wife went to Nicaragua sometime back - maybe I am thinking Turkey.
Speaking of reposts - you have had very few of them.
That said, I have to say, the sheer amount of your work and publishing is amazing.
Just the due diligence to have a post everyday for us lucky readers is an incredible amount of work.
In short, thank you.

I don't think I ever went down Gecko Lane before. I did a search function and found nothing. If I dod a de;liberate re-post I say so at the beginning. I will post pictures later of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua where she recently spent a week.
Is the purple plant a member of the bromeliad family?
I like the houses on Gecko. Did any of them have a real estate sign? :)
-Peace
Allen, aren't bromeliad's air plants? This one gives me the impression of being in the ground.
