Fort Lauderdale - Venice of America
The Venice of America has many similarities with Venice, Italy. Both have beautiful architecture of waterfront homes and Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capitol of America where people like to move around on sleek watercrafts like this cigarette boat.

The National Key Deer Refuge is about 8,500 acres and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. One place in particular that’s easy to find is Blue Hole lake, an abandoned rock quarry used for fill on the Henry Flagler’s Overseas Railroad.
Spotting Key Deer
Blue Hole lake is one of the best places to see Key Deer on Big Pine Key as well as other species.
The endangered Key Deer found primarily in the Florida Keys is a species threatened by habitat destruction and auto collisions.
Crocodiles
Crocodiles are much less common in South Florida than the American Alligator. I was lucky to get a picture of this one at Blue Hole.
Iguanas
Iguana’s are an invasive species in South Florida yet cause few problems and are a thrill to watch.
Blue Hole is located on Key Deer Blvd.
