white cottage

 took this photo back in 2022, I liked the way this little cottage looked except for the plastic flowers.


This is what it looks like now.  Notice the plastic flowers are still there.  I have no idea what happened to the cottage, maybe a storm blew off the flimsy roof.  The ocean is only minutes from here.

    That’s incredible. Looks like the back wall has gone, too. This could be the truth about forever plastics!

    La han restaurado muy bien y si el mar está cerca está muy bien para pasar unas vacaciones y unos buenos fines de semana.
    Feliz domingo de descanso.

    Not only the flimsy roof but the whole back. It's quite a job to make something out of that again.

    It was such a harmonious white cottage. It's a shame something happened in the three years that have passed. I think it wasn't enough time for it to be destroyed by old age.

    That's amazing...that the roof and even door were blown away, but the flower pots still remain. That means the gust must have come from the other side of the cottage, I'm guessing.

    Mother nature can be wicked. Or just time. And the plastic flowers are still there. Interesting to see what has become of this place.

    I love the charm of that little cottage. Even with the plastic flowers, it has such a cute, cozy vibe. Wow, being so close to the ocean must make it feel like a perfect little getaway spot storm or no storm.
