Portrait in splashy colours
Florida – last day
Miami, Wynwood Walls Art District. Oh yes, there is an official museum where well-known official artists show their art – and sell it for astronomical prices. But the real art is in the streets. The complete industrial site has become one large piece of living art by graffiti and other artists. Forget Banksy. This is street art in its purest form
Florida – Day 9
On day 9 the destination was Miami. Oh yes, I took a lot of pictures in the city. But only these ones are worth showing. The picture with hands (very kind man and woman begged me to take their picture).
Many houses in Miami. But well, I think the pictures of the houses are rather boring.
Miami beach which is… well, a beach with a lot of people and of course water where you can stand in
The famous strip where walking goes faster than driving – even if you have a fancy car
The Rosa Parks seats in the buses (if you don’t know who Rosa Parks is, you’re living in youre white bubble and definitely have to look her up). By the way, those bus drivers were really the most friendly bus drivers I have ever seen! Proud of their job, waiting for people, helping people, giving directions and even at the end of a shift telling the next driver where certain passengers need to get out
Florida – day 7 and 8
Merritt Island. Too many bird, so I’ll skip a lot of them. Also some other creatures, such as manatees, turtles, tortoises, spiders…
Florida – day 5 and 6
Around Melbourne, Erna Nixon Park, Ritch Grissom Memorial Wetlands and more. Lots and lots of bird… and some alligators and turtoises and trees. In Erna Nixon Park I saw a glimpse of an armadillo – just briefly and I was so excited that I forgot to take a picture…
Florida – day 4
Started day four in Sawgrass Recreation park, Everglades…
What shall I say? Lots of water. Lots of reed.
Further north to Lake Okeechobe and heading to Melbourne
Florida – day 3
Slowly gowing up towards Homestead and Fort Lauderdale. Mangroves, mangrove cuckoo, pelican, lots of other animals like lizards and butterflies and at sunset beautiful skies filled with clouds
Florida – day 2
Next morning we were welcomed by this Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) walking through our garden. A miniature deer, but what beautiful eyes!
These colors of the mangroves!

Florida – day 1
From Miami to Key West
Portraits in the rain
“Shall we postpone?” she asked. “The weather forecast is bad. A lot of rain.”
“Let’s just try,” I replied. “It will be dry between showers. And actually I think portraits in the rain are quite special. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll decide on the spot to go again another day.”
We did take some great portrait photos in the sun and in the shade. Then the rain came. And yes, of all these pictures, the ones in the rain are definetely my favorites!
