I was on my way to Key West and was lucky to get these pictures of the Green Heron on the nest.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show appeared to be larger and have a better turnout than last year.

The Jupiter Lighthouse is on the northern bank of the Loxahatchee River and is often used as the symbol of the city of Jupiter, FL. It was completed in 1860; it’s made of brick and was painted red in 1910 due to discoloration caused by humidity. The lighthouse is 108 feet tall and has a circular stairway with 105 steps from the base of the tower to the lantern room; when revolving, the four bulls-eyes in the lens produce the repeating cycle of two flashes followed by a period of darkness.
When you think Miami, you think Miami Vice, Little Havana, the Dolphins, the Heat and Miami Beach. Miami Beach is one of those special places where boating is more than a luxury, it’s a way of life.
Miami Beach Marina is popular with local and transient yachtsmen alike. If you don’t own a boat, they have rentals, casual and fine dining hotels nearby.
