Florida Keys; a Relaxing Daytrip

Last weekend I took a daytrip down to the Keys.  It was overcast and rained all day but I still had a nice time and grabbed a few nice shots.

First stop in the morning; a small beach in Marathon where I ran across a Resting Coral-tinged Green Iguana swimming just off shore, hiding from the black Lab that chased him off the beach.  Half an hour later a Husky chased him up a tree.  Life in the Conch Republic is tough for an Iguana.Lynn Palmer: Animals &emdash;

A perfect end to a relaxing day, sitting on a dock by Card Sound eating good food and listening to live music.
