I thought you might enjoy some shots I took over the weekend. We visited friends who volunteer for the Nat. Park Service.....They spend a month on Loggerhead Key. Loggerhead Key is 2 miles west of Ft. Jefferson which is 70 miles west of Key West. These Keys are part of a cluster of 7 Keys which make up the Dry Tortugas National Park.
Shots 1-5 are of Ft. Jefferson on Garden Key
6 & 7 are shots of a chug. (Chugs are boats made in secret in Cuba....Cuba is 90 miles South of the Dry Tortugas.) On Jan 1 fourteen Cubans landed on Loggerhead Key. They are permitted to stay in the US (Wet foot, dry foot)
8 Ft Jef from the water
9 Light House on Loggerhead Key
10, 11 and 12 shots from the lighthouse...looking south, north and west
13 Lighthouse shot taken from south point of Loggerhead
14 Sunset
15 & 16 Shots of Bush Key from Ft Jeff (Nesting area for Frigates and Sooty terns)
I hope you enjoy the pics.
Take care.................see you in the spring............Rob
Thanks for sending those, Bob - looks like a wonderful trip, and the sun, water and sand alone are a treat to see for those of us here in cold Vermont.
Here's more of what we're about at Joe's Pond. Winter recreation for some, cold forced labor for some of us if we had to be out on the ice all day. Thanks to Diane Rossi for sending this photo and message today:
Lots of activity on the ice today. These guys trudged on this morning while it was still dark, and 19 below!! It's 3 pm, and they're still out there....I don't think they're catching much. In fact, I haven't seen a single fish come out of one of those holes!
The guy in the tan outfit even got stuck in our driveway, and it's not even slippery. He must have summer tires on.....makes you wonder.
