Pigeon Key is a small island containing the historic district of Pigeon Key, Florida. The 5-acre (2.0-hectare) island is home to 8 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, some of which remain from its earliest incarnation as a work camp for the Florida East Coast Railway. Today these buildings serve a variety of purposes, ranging from housing for educational groups to administrative offices for the non-profit Pigeon Key Foundation. The former Assistant Bridge Tender's House has been converted into a small museum featuring artifacts and images from Pigeon Key's colorful past. It is located off the old Seven Mile Bridge, at approximately mile marker 45, west of Knight's Key, (city of Marathon in the middle Florida Keys) and just east of Moser Channel, which is the deepest section of the 7-mile (11 km) span.
The island was originally known as "Cayo Paloma" (literally translated as "Pigeon Key") on many old Spanish charts - said[by whom?] to have been named for large flocks of white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted there. During the building of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad Key West Extension between 1908 and 1912, there were at times as many as 400 workers housed on the island. While these workers built many bridges along the route through the lower keys, the Seven Mile Bridge, spanning the gap between Knight's Key and Little Duck Key remains the largest and most impressive component of what was once referred to as "the 8th Wonder of the World". A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island and are now part of the Pigeon Key Historic District.
Pigeon Key was one of the locations for the "Bal Harbor Institute" in the 1995 series of Flipper. It was seen in three episodes during season one including the pilot episode. It was also the site of the Finish Line of The Amazing Race 18 "Unfinished Business" in 2011.[2]

Un nouveau collage de 68 photos, cette fois-ci ce sont les Keys de Floride. Cet archipel s’étend au Sud de la péninsule floridienne et le chapelet d’îles dessine une longue courbe, avec souvent juste la largeur pour y faire passer une route, et la mer des deux côtés. En zoomant (si vous cliquez sur le lien) vous pourrez suivre l’autoroute et passer d’île en île, ou vous perdre dans les nuances bleues de l’océan. L’image fait près de 200 km de long, mais on a survolé cette zone en quelques dizaines de secondes à peine ! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Florida_Keys_fr...
This Big Picture of the Florida Keys allows you to explore all the way down Highway 1 to the end, hopping from island to island, or see details in the shades of blue of the water. I am not sure why they are called The Keys, but maybe it is because it looks like a key from space? 🔑🤔 This collage was made from 68 pictures and spans around 200 km on Earth! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/05/Florida_Keys_fr...

“You want me to give her a key?" the guy asked.
"I want you to give her a possibility," she told him, looking at my necklace again. "And that's what a key represents. An open door, a chance. You know?”
― Sarah Dessen, Lock and Key
I am still not sure how I did it, but I made my way down to the dungeon. Surely Mary put the key right out here.
Wait, did the floor just move?!

Shot from Fort Zachery Taylor Historic State Park. The park closes at sunset, literally! I shot the picture and the park ranger said it was time to leave. He very gracious and kind, even gave me a ride out.

Warm temperatures on a sunny March day enticed me to take a drive to the Sierra foothills and visit Ironstone Vineyards in Calaveras County to indulge myself in some flower therapy while simultaneously sipping some tasty wine! A beautiful spring-like day taking flower portraits with the Lensbaby Velvet.
During my walkabout in Key West, I saw these chickens.
