This is pics from a pug's eye view of Siesta Key on one of our favorite walks from beach to a row of mansions, beach cottages and little dirt roads. Sadie the Sales pug loves her walks.

1. Walking My Pug…Tiki Bar Sign Artist Shares Siesta Key Dog Walk http://www.rhondakwrites.com Sadie the Sales Pug takes a day off walking her neighborhood.

2. Sadie often does shows with me. We live in Siesta Key. I try to treat her Pug Rescue butt well. This is our walk and the things we thing about when working on new work. Lots of PALM TREES. http://www.rhondakwrites.com Sadie the Sales Pug takes a day off walking her neighborhood.

3. This is Sadie’s Beach. It is called “Shell Beach.” Consistently the richer folks try to take this beach over. It is not a “deeded beach.” It is a public beach. Back in the “day” a lot of streets in Siesta Key ended in public beaches. Shell Beach is one of the last ones . This portion of the beach should be bought by Sarasota County . It is clearly a wet land situation that should be administrated by the EPA, condemned by the County and turned into a County Park. President Bush managed this sort of action for a stadium project, so you’d think the Sarasota Republicans could suck it up and do the same thing. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

4. When we go for a walk, Sadie always tries to love up on Boston. He’s a really super smart boy. He is also a throw away. A girl who had him threw him away and Bob, my friend took him over. He is always waiting for her to come back and throw a ball. Sadie loves him…but after almost a year he’s beginning to sort of like her. These are both wonderful used dogs. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

5. This house is going up in my neighborhood. What they don’t know the roof wood is substandard. As a ..wood repurposer..that roof wood splinters and expands under the most minor of rains. So far, they’ve not been good neighbors. I can’t even use wood cast offs for my art.. This Mcmansion is going to leak. A lot. Wouldn’t want to wait out a hurricane in it. h ttp://www.rhondakwrites.com

6. The Sades ( rhymes is jades ) probably has no opinion on the issue of who is ruining the neighborhood. But she listens to my rants. Good Girl. One thing for sure…Sadie IS NOT ruining neighborhood. http:// www.rhondakwrites.com

7. Because the Sadie and I walk past A LOT of mailboxes, you’re going to see a few here. This mailbox reads: CAMP HECTOR. As this isn’t a commercial thing, it is the owner thing. On one side he has sailing vessels and on the other pelicans. There’s a lot of pelican art in this area. http:// www.rhondakwrites.com

8. This is the trawler behind Camp Hector. These are steady on the intra-coastal and usually attract dolphins with their inboards. Nice reflection of a storm building sky in the water. A lot of these home owners have “sail boat” water. That is OK for a 5 ft. draft sailing vessel. A trawler often has a shallow draft. http:// www.rhondakwrites.com

9. After the pug and I get across the road…past Camp Hector …there is the Garden of Eden parcel of land for sale. It is AMAZING. That is what is fascinating about Siesta Key. It isn’t that built up. It has sections of wild. Sometimes a McMansion is by a regular 70’s style single family home. This is about 3 potential lots of HEAVEN…or one for a big pocketed buyer. Meantime, the pug and I trespass in heaven. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

10. There are two docks on this garden of Eden for sale parsel. Only one is solid. This is the view from it. http:// www.rhondakwrites.com

15. . This is your basic Florida scrub palm tree. If you ever see an artist paint a smooth one…a straight one…one that narrows at the top…they are lying artistically. Florida scrub palms are their own story. One by one. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

16. . This is the road to where I live. What is sexy about Siesta Key is there are still a lot of unpaved roads to paradise. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

17. . Unusual tree. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

21. Siesta Key is the first part of the South where a lot of wild, exoctic palms begin to grow. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

22. This is a great example of a Florida mailbox. Snook. Old school anchor. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

28. Another Siesta Key unpaved road to heaven. For sale. On this lot AS IS…lots of flowering trees, flowering vines and more. Bees. Butterflies. This would be a great park. Sadie loves this place. One day it will sell. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

29. Siesta Key has a lot of palms…this is a rare fruit tree. Plums..right? Unusual too is not a locked or electronic gate…but a chain. Siesta Key is complicated. http://www.rhondakwrites.com

32. This is my favorite Siesta Key mailbox. It is an old outboard, a tiki, a crab trap, a crab buoy and a post. FANTASTIC! http://www.rhondakwrites.com

38. This has been a pugs eye view of my neighborhood. For the minute I live in a luxurious place with mad fertile palms and a beautiful shore. I know it is temporary so we enjoy it every minute. Thank you for walking with us.
