Miscellaneous Miami Beach: Part 1



"A photo safari in Miami is like the ice cream isle at Publix: endless flavors, gelato colors and a ritzy section that sells highend Godiva and Haagen-Dazs." - Sharon Wagner, storyteller, retired illustrator and inexhaustable photo blogger. Follow my lens...
   








Due to covid, cruise ship row is empty. Miami had to find alternative parking.

What interesting quotes on Miami. I've never been there, but my daughter has and she loved it. She loved all the color in the city..

We lived in Miramar for 15 years before we moved to Saudi Arabia. I love the pic of the bird and the cruise ship in the distance. It tells a story.

I love Miami Beach! I can remember running the Miami Marathon and seeing the lights of the cruise ships sparkling in the pre-dawn darkness as we ran across the causeway. Such a shame they are now absent due to Covid!

Su-sieee! Mac said...

Love that shot of the bird and ship.

Beautiful birds. Nice capture of the lizard. Interesting top photo.

So colorful! Love the iguana! When my husband and I sailed we anchored in Miami a lot but I can't say I've really been in Miami (on land) too much. It is an interesting place to view from the water, though.

The birds are my favorite but all the pictures were great.

I like the round lifeguard tower. Ours are more boxy, but still photogenic. Enjoy your weekend!
