Dolphin for Dinner!

This is a Mahi Mahi or Dolphin as the locals call it. If caught in the Pacific it goes by the name Dorado. It is the best tasting fish I have ever tasted! It can be baked, bbqd, pan fried, deep fried and even made into fish tacos and fish tidbits. Yum!

Flowers for Mother Mary

My Mother was born on this day and she loved the colour mauve. There were hedges of hydrangea at every home we lived in. The tradition goes on as my sister and I have hydrenga in our gardens and my two daughters have now planted them in their gardens.

Great White Egret

Every morning and evening we are frequented by this majestic log legged beauty. Don't let his looks fool you, he is quite a thief and will snatch your bait, your sandwich or even your raw oysters or cocktail shrimp if you are not watching.

Whoooo you lookin at!

There is a pair of Burrowing Owls in Key Colony Beach. This year they hatched two chicks and made their home in a storm pipe on the corner of 10th Street.

Beach Treasures

Pieces of coral, seaweed and shells break away from the ocean floor and wash up daily on the white, white beaches of the Florida Keys. Water shoes are a must!
