Where I Used to Play, The Naked Lady at Dante Fascell Park
I decided to head down to Coconut Grove today to enjoy the lovely cool weather. On my way there I passed by Dante Fascell Park. This park has been the scene for many birthdays, playtimes, and even was a location for my Bar Mitzvah portrait with my dog Sundance. I didn’t stop, but I made a mental note to return there on the way home and explore around a bit.
I was happy to see youth climbing all over the naked lady sculpture just like I used to as a child growing up in south Florida. There she was, in her cool gray concrete self. Nothing to protect her from the elements. Just the youth climbing all over her, and soaking up the cool warmth of her bosom.
I am glad to see her still there, reclining, and just chilling in the Miami sun.
