In October at Egmont Key, Florida.
This island has unique natural and cultural histories which have made it a great resource since the time settlers first arrived in Florida. Named in honor of John Perceval, the second Earl of Egmont and member of the Irish House of Commons in 1763.
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.
I spent a week in south Florida this past February with the first few nights in the Florida Keys. Sitting at an open air restaurant by the water in Key Largo, the sky didn't look very promising for a great sunset. As I was leaving the restaurant the sky lit up and I captured this amazing light show. The sky colors in south Florida are a spectacular array of pastels to brights.

Práctica de Low Key Para Superstar.
Mi padre es un auténtico manitas y siempre está pensando en cosas para hacer en un pequeño terreno que tenemos, pero sin gastar mucho dinero y reciclando todo lo que puede. Hace unos días se pasó por un centro de bricolaje en el que lo conocen bien y le dieron un montón de paneles de mostrarios de baldosas y azulejos que ya no pensaban utilizar y que les estaban molestando en el almacén. Casualidad que, entre ellos, había unos de 60 x 60 increíbles que imitan perfectamente la piedra, el cemento y la madera y a mi padre no le importó que me los llevara. ¡Qué maravilloso es tener un padre así!
Mi estudio esta vez fue la habitación de mi hija pues tiene una luz preciosa por la mañana.
Para la foto utilicé las dos piezas más oscuras, una de fondo y otra lateral y lo cubrí con una cartulina oscura con las manos (no tenía otra forma de sujetarla) mientras tomaba las fotos con el disparador.
Hice la prueba con y sin botella de leche, porque me daban miedo los brillos del cristal, pero me gusta más con la botella, creo que la complementa muy bien y le da más sentido a la fotografía.

U.S. Route 1
L'US 1 commence officiellement sur Whitehead Street à Key West, à l'intersection avec Fleming Street.
L'U.S. Route 1 (aussi appelée U.S. Highway 1, abrégé en US 1) est une route (highway) des États-Unis qui longe toute la côte est du pays. Partant de Key West à l'extrême sud de la Floride, elle remonte jusqu'à la frontière canadienne dans le Maine. Son tracé a été ensuite repris par l'Interstate 95 qui la longe en grande partie, bien qu'elle s'enfonce plus dans les terres entre Jacksonville (Floride) et Petersbourg (Virginie).

The U.S. Route 1 (also known as U.S. Highway 1, abbreviated as US 1) is a U.S. highway that runs the entire east coast of the country. Starting from Key West in the extreme south of Florida, it goes up to the Canadian border in Maine. Its route was then resumed by Interstate 95 which largely follows it, although it sinks more inland between Jacksonville (Florida) and Petersburg (Virginia).

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.
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.
Recently got back from a trip to Joshua Tree National Park! Love getting down there to explore and enjoy the weather! I went on the Keys Ranch Tour there and it was so cool to see all the old buildings and machines left out there by William Keys. He was a miner of all sorts and has a tiny gold mill on his site. This is some of the machinery that was used to smash the rocks into pieces.
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.
Shot through a bus window, so a bit "spotty." Still, I thought it was worth posting. On West 96th Street, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Top of Key Summit Tarn (near Milford Sound, Fiordland, South Island, NZ). This pond may not be worth the title of "tarn" but "Key Summit Puddle" didn't sound right.

Such a handsome Key Rooster. It's too bad I couldn't get the whole rooster in frame. He must be used to people because he kept coming closer to me.
Schooner America 2.0 - Key West Harbor
Key West, Florida - Florida Keys - 12/3/20
*[left-double-click for a closer-look - magnificent majestic sails]
History: Designed and built by Scarano Boat Inc. in Albany, N.Y., the America 2.0 had big shoes to fill. Its 1995 predecessor, the 139-foot America (now berthed in Santa Barbara) won the hearts and minds of many islanders on and off the docks. That ship replicated the original America, a 101-foot sailing vessel that won an 1851 race against 15 yachts of the Royal Yacht Squadron in what would become known forever as the "America's Cup" in honor of that ship. The 1851 original America ended up a blockade-runner for the Confederacy and after the Yankees seized her, became a blockade-buster for the federals. She remained government property until falling victim to a shed collapse in 1945, and with the shed was scrapped and burned. A 170 year history with two replicas built.
America 2.0 (105 feet) replaced the 1995 replica schooner America (139 feet). The '95 replica is now berthed in Santa Barbara, California
The America 2.0, the Adirondack III, the Western Union, the Appledore and many other tall ships are credited with helping
to keep Key West's maritime traditions alive for years to come
