THANK YOU to everyone who came to my place during the Kenwood Artist Enclave Studio Tour this weekend. Wow! What a weekend! Thank you for all the great conversations, compliments, connections, questions, inspiration, tips, and purchases! My personal goal this week is to update my website to include all my new work, including new photos, the wood transfers, the super-sized vinyl banners, and the giclée option. And I need to update that certain limited edition photos are now sold out for good, e.g. the three 20x20 inch flamingo kiss metal prints. (Thank you, Leslie and Sandy!) LINK VIA BIO or direct: LuciWest.com Thank you to Bob, @bryan_klopfenstein, and Stephen (Blue Island Group) and @debrubysings Deb Ruby for being the musical guest artists and creating such a beautiful atmosphere with your songs. And thank you to Letisia Cruz @lesinfin.art for being the visual guest artist and bringing your stunning girls, birds, and other works to my outdoor studio. An extra special thank you to Kaleena, Sudsy, Anne Wade for being the most fabulous greeters welcoming each guest who came through the front gate. You three are my personal rock stars! Another big thank you to Mo and Captain Mark for hosting / wrangling WhiskeyDog. And as always, I'm forever grateful to @ssolary2 Thank you for co-hosting, helping make the art happen, putting up with me and supporting me in all ways, and building that "rain drain" so that according to Murhpy's Law it wouldn't rain all weekend. #aehkstpete #aehkstudiotour #birdnerd #floridakeys (at Robbie's Marina, Islamorada, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqD1jZAJYYd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes you don’t have to get on a plane to see beautiful places. This beauty is just a few hours from Miami and that would be at Islamorada. Coming here was such an experience for me. This sunset made me fall in love and I wish I got more moments like these. You should know not everything is about big cities and lights, and nature usually gives you the most beautiful sights you’ll ever see with no comparison. At Islamorada you don’t just see amazing sunsets, but the tranquility and the fresh sea food can’t be found anywhere else. Be cautious tho, at this time sand flies are crazy looking for you to bite, learned from experience. I miss this place.

UPDATE: NOAA establishes a temporary special use area to protect a relocated Florida Keys coral nursery

In response to extreme ocean temperatures, NOAA has used its emergency authority to create a temporary special use area in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to protect endangered corals that have been relocated to a nursery in federal waters approximately five miles southeast of Tavernier, Florida. The temporary regulation lasts 60 days, with the option for one 60-day extension, and prohibits all entry except for continuous transit without interruption.
