Versace Was Here

This is the front of what used to be Versace's Miami Beach home. These are the steps that he was murdered on and people/tourists pose for photos here daily.

Jelly Fish

This Photo was taken in the lobby of the Hotel Victor on South Beach. They have a Jelly Fish tank that separates the lobby from the restaurant.

What is it About Balloons?

This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago when we were having a front that was pretty cold for Miami. This day the temperature hovered in the 40's.

Juxtaposed

This photo was taken at a dock that is across the street from the Port of Miami.

Drag Queen Sundays

You can't tell in this photo but she was moving one breast independently from the other.

Miami Sunset

Doggie Doctor

This building is a veterinarians office. The dog looks so small in this photo but it is really impressive when you are driving by.

Reflections

Brittos All Over Miami

Public art works are not common in Miami, however, if you happen upon one it will most likely be the work of Romero Britto. This photo of his self portrait was taken at his gallery in Miami Beach.

I plan to take photos of his work around town and share it here periodically in a Britto series.

Watching

Waiting

I took this photo at the southernmost tip of South Beach this weekend. The temperature was in the 30's and 40's and these guys were surfing!

Riding

Atypical Miami

Living in Miami my whole life I have never once needed these items. To be honest I would not even know where to find these items, which is probably the case for most. However, this weekend I would have pulled over for some wood had I had a fireplace.

In this photo you can also see a Metrorail Station which runs to downtown Miami.

Drag Queen Sundays

The Palace Bar on South Beach has a drag queen show with brunch on Sundays. I acquired a nice collection of photos from the event, so I decided to share them in a series each Sunday for the next several weeks.

Miami Mall Food

I love corn just as much as the next person, but I just find this strange. Is this common in other malls?

Sunday at the Port

There was also an additional ship in on this day as well but I could not manage them all. They are pretty impressive when you see them up close.

Every time I see the ships in it makes me long for a cruise

Remember When?

I took this photo at the Zoo last week when the temperature was in the 70's. It is very indicative of our summers, my daughter has actually burned herself on a slide before.

Yep, it is still cold here, in the 40's today. My token 2 days of cold weather clothes ran out 2 days ago and supposedly this weather is sticking around for another couple of days. I am still enjoying it, however if I could just keep my toes warm!

A Precious Load

This father had a rope tied to the boys dump truck and just pulled him along. He had been playing in the park on South Beach previously.

Miami Cold Front

It is actually cold here in Miami. In the 40's and 50's during daylight hours and for multiple days! Ok, ok, so this is cold for Miami. The problem most south Floridians have is we are not prepared for this. We have maybe a handful of cold days here, so most of us do not have winter clothes or shoes.

Well I'm not complaining, I personally love a change in temperature, however brief it may be. Tonight we will be dining on hot soup and warm bread!

First Steps

May you have a year of many firsts!
