Vacation Pictures From The Florida Keys

Hey guys, I recently went on a much needed family vacation to Marathon Key Florida. It was too windy when we were there to dive but here are some pictures I took. Enjoy!





















I was surprised to see some zoanthids growing on a channel wall. Very cool. Not the best picture but its the best I could do.

 

Awesome. I try to take my boy down to the keys every year. We stay in Islamorado or tavernier for the most part, but love marathon too. So LAID back its awesome. Great food.

 

Here are some more shots.













Some species of puffer fish that I saw in a channel near the house we stayed at.











Portuguese man of war jellyfish.



Met this guy on the beach. Friendly, but didnt smell very good. Haha.

 

Its a great place to vacation. The food is incredible and the people are all very friendly for the most part. Ive still got a bunch more shots if anyone wants to see them. Haha.

 

Did you do any fishing?

 

I do miss the food, fresh everywhere, and yes 99% are super laid back and nice.

Bring the pic's on, we missed this year, it will teach me a lesson so I won't make that mistake again. I'll hit up marathon more next time, looks nice. Islamorado just has a lot of kid friendly stuff on it.

 

A little bit. It was pretty dead though. The fishing has supposedly been good this season, better than last year atleast. But it dropped off about two weeks before we got there. We went out twice. Caught 3 fish. We werent out for long though. My sister got sea sick then I did too. Both times.... lol

Ill keep em coming them. Marathon is very nice. Islamorada is a little more touristy. We stay in Key Colony.

 

yeah it is. I'd like to stay down there, but the 7 year old is in love with theater of the sea, and I'm in love with this cuban waitress at Snappers in islamorado. great scenery there.

Did you go see the little deer?

 

My sister made this one day on the beach. Lol Gotta represent 3reef.



























My Dad with a bonita tuna he caught.













This is a very rare tree sponge. Also known as a funnel sponge skewered on a stick. lol



I need to mess around with this shot in photoshop but I like it otherwise.







Feedback on my photography is much appreciated. Im still a noob with this camera but Im taking a class over the summer as well as a couple other photography classes in fall. Thanks for looking.

 

Haha. I havent checked out the Theater Of The Sea yet or the waitress. Haha. But Im sure they are both worth checking out. I saw one key deer on the side of the road this year, but that was it. The last time we were there we saw a couple of them when we were hiking.
