fantasy fest 2015

Another week of fantasy feast has passed . Last year was a new low, too low even for Key West! The city had to crack down on the complete (and icky) nudity.
This year was fun again, people wore costumes, or paint, there was still plenty to see. As always I try to only post photos that don't require a cringe.
I dropped my camera on the road , so some of the photos are less than perfect.

These people were my favs for the night, 

the man in the orange grass skirt is this kitty's man. When not showing off on a paper box, he was lounging in a baby carriage.

I took this today with my cannon power shot SX 230HS. He was on top of a mangrove tree, I was in my kayak .

100th post, and a glorious morning on the water

This is my 100th post! Who would have thought I would stick with this so long? I was thinking about one of the first, about being a do'er, I think that I'm doing well at that. I'm 50-something and I can ride my bike 10 miles in an hour, paddle the Bay without much trouble, and I'm pretty good at catching lobster. So I;m happy. Though I would like to lose 25lbs, that would make me happier! Maybe it will be true on my 200th post.

Beautiful morning on the bay - enjoy, I did.

Photos from my morning ride on the Florida Keys bike trail. This section is on Cudjoe Key.

As you can see iguanas can climb, they can also swim and dive!
