KEY WEST!!!!

Couldn't get all the way to Mile Marker 47 and not go the other 47 miles to Key West. On the way we stopped at Habitat for Humanity and there just happened to be a banana tree in the parking lot. I wonder if that is a bloom on the bottom????


Banana tree!!!!


Next stop was Verizon. This rooster wanted a phone also.


 On to the waterfront!!!!


More feathered friends.


Happy hour at the Commodore's Boat House!!!!


The pelican flew into the photo.


Notice the bird feathers.



Sorry, Bill, these were on the sidewalk and I just couldn't resist!!!!


On the CVS building.


Brothers in law Zell and Steve getting into the mood!!!!


Street artist were everywhere. But we were at Mallory Square for the sunset!!!!


About 30 minutes before sunset the ships sail out toward the horizon....


Getting into position....








Do you like the photo better with the sea bird or not????

I think I like the second photo better....


Lighter or darker exposure????


One sailing ship or two?? Two masts or one??


Sailing into the sun or away??


Or right there??



Or ships way off in the horizon??


Can you tell I like sunsets and ships almost as much as flowers????



Same pose, but see how much difference the sunset makes!!!!

I paid the gull to be just in the right spot!!!!



Thought I would add another ship and another bird or two....




How about black and white????

SUNRISE & MANATEES!!!!



Evin turned over a new leaf this morning and got up to see the sunrise. I am so glad she did. Now I know what a Knights Key sunrise looks like.


What a gorgous sunrise!!!! A sign of things to come....

Cindy called and said she was fishing and had a surprise!!!!


Cindy and Evin fishing from the dock....



Another fishman is on the dock....


Will entertain for fish.... But he was not the surprise.... I saw something across the way....


I was told that if you spray fresh water they will come real close....


So Evin does just that....












A little history lesson....


Let's end where we started.... Evin's great sunrise photos!!!!



....and this day is just starting!!!!
