Key Biscayne View From The Top


We travel a lot & it gives me a chance to put my camera to work. Lighthouses are some of my favorites, but I'll save most of those pics for later. This one is from Key Biscayne, a beautiful little key off of Miami Beach. We climbed these stairs on a blistering hot day, but the view was worth it. Fortunately, there are only half as many steps here as the one in St Augustine.  



The lighthouse leans a little, like that famous building in Italy. Not the photographer's fault! 



I like how the beach curves here. The pictures from the opposite side had too many people in the frame - reminded me of the Jersey shore. Empty is better.



People live in these little huts. Wouldn't want to ride out a hurricane here.



I like centering most shots, but sometimes lining things up to one side gives a better perspective. The centered shot (deleted) interrupted the nice background & was all tree trunk. This one seemed to grab all the important stuff. I'll post a bunch of pictures of palm trees (& coconuts) later.

Thanks for visiting - I love getting comments & I still want to get more followers than Dave. He will be so jealous.

  1. Love the picture of the palm frond - perfect! I also agree with you about the Jersey Shore, yuk that's why I'm going to be on Cape Cod.

  3. Shamelessly reaching out to get more followers I see. You're trying to stack the deck!!!

    Glad you skipped the pics from the north side of the lighthouse - so many people - looked like a breeding ground for seals.

  6. Thanks for visiting Pat. I just posted something new, finally. Not flowers this time. I miss my garden - we've been traveling so much lately.
