There's always something to see on a walk through the Key West streets, and this time of year as temperatures reach 90 degrees under clear sunny skies a short urban walk is what suits Cheyenne the best.
My wife was given a banana plant as a gift and I have appropriated it as my own because I've always wanted one. While "mine" is now barely 18 inches tall it is flourishing on my deck. As a result I take a great deal of interest in the wide green leaves I see around town. I am reminded of a comment I heard third hand that house plants grow in the wild in Key West. 
Summer is hot of course but Spring is hot and relatively quiet. It's between seasons and I was quite surprised to find myself alone as I wandered around trailing my dog. I met a friend entertaining some out of town relatives on a porch but the streets were empty.
In the evening people come out and walk their own dogs around here a lot but perhaps I was early and I had the afternoon sunlight and the lengthening shadows to myself.
It wasn't really a wooded walk but it was quite relaxing as Cheyenne trotted back and forth nose to the ground and with leash fully extended I had time to look up and admire the canopy.
Key West: the other urban jungle.
