Starfish Beach

 

Starfish Beach

 

 

 

I enjoy walking the island taking photos to use as inspiration in my studio.  I love the little touches of fun and whimsy that decorate so many of the porches here in Key West.

 

 

Little touches of starfish and scallop shells and year round shell wreaths are a common island motif.

 

 

Lovely starfish chair cushions and a boat floating on a blue door make you want to stop and rest here.

 It's a beautiful day here on

Can't you just smell the salt air?

This little sailboat is parked at the dingy docks behind the Turtle Kraal's Restaurant.  Key West has a whole community of people who live on boats and commute into town via dingy.  This is one of their parking lots.

I photographed this house because of the combination of funny elements.  Rusty little house, shiny new little tiny car with its red stripe that matches the flag on the house, and of course the giant palm tree.

 

 

When I arrived in Key West in '86 most of the houses looked like the one above.  Now after years of the town being in a refurbishing frenzy very few are left with this patina.

 

Have a great day,

Maggie

I always have my camera with me and I snap plenty of Key West pics.  I think maybe on days I don't have anything to say I'll post a photo or two of some of the wonderful sights in Key West and the reasons why I call it home.


Everyone have a good day.

This house is probably one of the most photographed homes in Key West, with its colorful bikes and wonderful curb appeal.
