Florida 2018      

It may be hubris on my part to present vacation photos as art, but I try to take interesting images even if they are from a resort area and (gasp) include beaches and sunrises.  We were in the Fort Lauderdale / Pompano Beach area in February 2018 and had a great time visiting museums and gardens and enjoying the weather.

Photo titles and notes:

• Along the A1A — shot from our car window near Fort Lauderdale.  Miles of beaches.

• Condo Abstract — I have never seen so many condos in my life, a virtual explosion.

• Sunrise over Pompano Beach

• Poolside at Daybreak — at the Beachcomber Resort in Pompano.   I like the dim lighting here.

• Path to the Beach — just beyond the pool area.  I believe the plant is called sea grapes (closeup below).

• Beachside at Sunrise

• Hammock and Its Shadow

• Time and Tide

• Portuguese Man-o’-War Defending Its Nest — these creatures were everywhere.  Apparently this was the season for them.

• Morikami Gardens — a beautiful two-hour walk through Japanese garden art.  Highly recommend it.

• Bird at Morikami Gardens

• Whale Fries at The Whale’s Rib  — a decent raw bar at Deerfield Beach.  Other good lunch spots were Hurricane Alley (Boynton Beach), JBs on the Beach (Deerfield Beach) and Southport Raw Bar (Fort Lauderdale).
