What do you do when you come back home in your boat and find a cruise ship parked in your spot? Answer--nothing!
I enjoyed my Flickr friend Vince's shots of his visit to Savannah, so thought I would take my own trip down to a place I have always wanted to visit. But since I can't go there in person, thought I would visit via Google Earth's Street View. So here are a few of my paintings from Key West.

Key West is an island city in the Straits of Florida, within the U.S. state of Florida. The city lies at the southernmost end of U.S. Route 1, the longest north–south road in the United States. Key West is the southernmost city in the contiguous United States and the westernmost island connected by highway in the Florida Keys. The island is about 4 miles long and 1 mile wide.

It has been a while, but the blues of the Bahamas and Key West just never disappoint, seem to change hue on every pass over the area and brighten up our day every time we see them. Bask in the blue tones, and if you want more, there is a mapping too: www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2021/09/Florida_Keys_fr...

Lone Tree at Sunset, Big Pine Key, Florida, USA.
The search for an isolated tree along the Florida Keys finally ended with this spectacular location at Summerland Key.

We all have the key to happiness within us but we have to chose to use it.
An antique key and lock that I photographed at the Baltimore Museum of Industry.
An image made looking to the south east from the summit of Key View [5185ft] in the Little San Bernadino Mountains, Joshua Tree National Park. The distant stretch of water is the Salton Sea behind the Cottonwood Mountains.
Baltimore's Key Bridge from Hawkin's Point. Shot with a 1940s Ansco box camera on Fuji Acros 100, developed in New55's R3 Monobath.
An attempt of high key over exposure of the old pier at Swanage.
Trying the over exposure to blend the sky with the sea to create one backdrop.
The correct exposure with the 10 stop filter would of been 15 sec, but this was exposed at 3 minutes.
Notice the Seagulls on the front posts even during this long exposure.
I've just taken photographs outside of a temple when an old lady stepped to me. She asked me if i wanted to go in, to take more photos. She gave me the keys of the temple and left me there. It's an amazing feeling to be alone in a church.

Morning light bathes this tough bench / picnic table at Fort Armistead overlooking the Patapsco River and the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Stacked on the ND filters to smooth out the water and the clouds ... but the clouds though streaming are not that evident given the contrast and lighting by this time. But it does smooth out the sky there that allows for the sunlit bridge structure to really stick out which I liked in this image.
Backlit emerging spring maple leaves and keys are nicely framed by the soft DoF background of shadow and light on the lake at Pine Grove Park near Liverpool. I placed the leaves and keys in the composition according to the vertical rule of thirds which contributes to the impression of a harmonious aesthetic in the image.

Key deer (odocoileus virginianus clavium), the smallest of all white-tailed deer, is a subspecies of the Virginia white-tailed deer. These deer inhabit Big Pine Key and various surrounding keys. They are not found anywhere else in the world.
Due to uncontrolled hunting and habitat destruction, their numbers were estimated less than 50 animals in 1940's. With the establishment of National Key Deer Refuge in 1957 and intensive law enforcement efforts, the population has since increased and has now stabilized. The estimated population is approximately 600 deer on Big Pine Key and No Name Key (this does not include other keys in the deer's range).Highway mortality is the greatest known source of deer loss.
The shoulder height of Key deer is between 24-28 inches. Does weigh 45-65 pounds while bucks weigh 55-75 pounds.
Rutting season activities begin in September, peaking in early October and decreasing gradually through November and December. Some breeding may occur as late as February. The gestation period is 204 days with fawns born April through June. At birth fawns weigh 2-4 pounds.
Antlers are dropped February through March, and re-growth begins almost immediately so that by June, bucks with 2-inch stubs are seen. Antler growth is completed by August, and velvet is rubbed and kicked off in early September.
Key deer feed on native plants such as red, black and white mangroves, thatch palm berries and over 150 other species of plants. Key deer can tolerate small amounts of salt in their water and they will also drink brackish water, but fresh water is essential for their survival. They must also have suitable habitat to ensure their future existence.
No records exist documenting the origin of the deer in the keys. It is believed the deer migrated to the keys from the mainland many thousands of years ago, across a long land bridge. As the Wisconsin Glacier melted, the sea rose dividing the land bridge into small islands known as the Florida Keys.
The earliest mention of Key deer is found in the memoirs of Fontaneda, a shipwrecked Spaniard held captive by the local Indians. Records suggest that the deer were found around Key West and were used for food by residents and ship crews alike. Although early records indicated sporadic wider distribution of Key deer throughout the lower keys, current data indicates they occupy a range from Johnson Keys to Saddlebunch Keys.
First thing I did upon checking in the room was to see what kind of view we had from the balcony. I spent the next 15 minutes watching this big guy climb to the top of the tree.
