Siesta Time at the Pink House

Siesta Time at the Pink House© Key West Art & Historical Society: In the image, there is a charming two-story pink house adorned with blue shutters and surrounded by lush greenery, including large palm leaves, flowering plants, and tall trees. The house features a rooftop with a balustrade where a cat is lounging, and various birds are perched, enjoying the sunny sky with soft, fluffy clouds. Hanging planters with cascading plants decorate the upper balcony, while potted plants add a touch of nature to the lower level. Curtains can be seen through the windows, and a path leads to the entrance where a spotted dog rests contentedly amidst the vibrant, well-tended garden.
