After spending about five days in the Ft. Myers area we headed down to Key West. We made it about an hour before sunset and having never been here before we weren't sure where a good location might be. We soon found out there really isn't a great place. There is only one spot a State Historic Site and they kick you out about five minutes after the sun sets. Tomorrow we head out to Dry Tortugas National Park. There should be many birds and quite a few new ones for me to study including Sooty Tern and Brown Noddy.
Here is a shot of the sunset. A storm had just passed over so the sky was pretty interesting. If the sky is any good tomorrow we will head to a different island to photograph the sunset.

Dear Eric,
I am a student at the Asian University for Women in Chittagong, Bangladesh. I am taking a class about blogs and have created one called Beauty of Nature. The focus of my blog is about: Endangered animals and human activites, I found your blog and it relates to mine and I plan on adding a link to your blog.
If you have a few minutes, you can check out my blog at: http://beautyofnature2009.wordpress.com. If you would like, I would really appreciate it if you can also link my blog.
Thanks for reading.

That's such beautiful water and sky. I love the reflection in the water, too.
Simply stunning! I would give anything to spend a week exploring and photographing in the Florida Keys.
Very pretty colors in this one, I'm glad you got something good out of your stay.
Oh my what a fun opportunity for shots just so pretty
There's really a quite wonderful light in this picture. I would have wanted to view it larger but it did not seem to work that way. The colours are different to those I see in our sunsets over here. Much lighter and sort of pastel nuances.
Like a superb watercolour with the most delicate tintings of pink in the reflections! WOW!!!
Ohhhh, my gosh! This is soooo beautiful and tempting! So tired of the winter - so thank you so much for bringing me som summerfeelings :)
I have a house about 20 miles from Key West. I recognized the view instantly. Enjoy your stay. There really are a lot of good places to watch the Sun set.
Beautiful! I wish there was a beach close to Indiana!
Have you found Paradise. It's breathetaking.
Gorgeous colours! Fantastic landscape.

What a beautiful photo. Sea and sunsets are my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
Isn't it amazing that the camera and your eye always seems to find that magical shot.
