Life Guard Stand

The life guard stands on Miami Beach are all decorated differently. It is difficult to see but notice the trim it has various shapes cut out of it.

The sun was setting and I just missed the glow it had!

South Miami Art Festival

This time of year is when we have all of our festivals.

We have had quite a few festivals this time of year when we can not bear the heat. This was a beautiful weekend, in the 60's most of the time.

Miami Sunset

The sky was brilliant this evening, it looked like lava to me.

Port of Miami

How Much?

This photo was taken in Miami Beach at a florists shop.

Miami Moon

Brittos All Over Miami

I had an unfortunate visit to Miami Children's Hospital and spotted this Romero Britto piece, his pieces were pretty much around every corner.

Now that I think about it, I find the same to be true all around the city!

More The Birds

The birds were doing this amazing flying patterns and swoops, some groups would take off together and perform an incredible display.

I'm sorry this photo does not begin to describe the experience.

The Birds

This photo represents a tiny portion of the birds I discovered in a shopping center last weekend. They were all over everything cars, stores, shopping carts, it was really an amazing sight. Notice how they knew to stay out of the center of the street.

Foreplay

These Okapi reside at the Miami Metrozoo.

Illuminated Building

I have posted this building previously (Christmas) they typically illuminate the building according to the season or holidays and I couldn't figure out the red and blue until I went to post it. Most who have lived in Miami a long time still remember this building as the Centrust building, it is now the Bank of America building, hence the red and blue.

Sorry for the blur, I was in a moving car.

Spices and Teas

Spices

Teas

You can find them in a local farmer's market. Before you spot this booth you know its there because you can smell it all over the market, the scents are just heavenly!

Miami Sunrise

Downtown View

More Miami Extravagance

Lunch Truck

Lunch trucks can typically be found at construction sites or outdoor working sites.

When they arrive to the site they have a funny little horn that they blow and people come running. The trucks usually have hot and cold foods.

Miami Extravagance

Yes, that is a plane on the yacht.

The Yacht show was in town this past weekend and I saw yachts ranging from 1 million to 15 million dollars.

In Search of Warm Weather

These ships left from the Port of Miami and are most likely heading towards the caribbean.

Valentine

Sorry this comes to you so late today. Happy Valentine's Day!

Converted

Brittos All Over Miami

This is another Romero Britto piece that is in front of a public library and park.

Going For a Ride

Sunday at the Farmer's Market

Every year at this time, it seems so odd to me that the rest of the country is having soups and stews, while here in Miami, we're picking strawberries and tomatoes and pulling out our BBQ grills.

Super Bowl in Town

New Orleans Saints fans in the bus on the way to a party.

Lost of traffic as a result of the game!

Moon Shine

I took this photo last weekend at the beach when we had a full moon.

Night at Cavalia

We went to see Cavalia last week and the show was spectacular. Think Cirque du Soleil with horses.

Miami Wedding

We were at the beach this weekend and there happened to be a wedding.

Getting married on the beach is very common here, (I was married by the ocean as well), how can we not take advantage of this beautiful scenery.

Life Guard Stand

As you can see this was a slow beach day, the temperature was in the 40's and the only people that were there was a few surfers.

The life guard stands on Miami Beach are all decorated differently so I will be posting them periodically. They all display a flag that designates the condition of the ocean at the time.

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.

Across the Bay

View of Downtown Miami from across the bay.

Drag Queen Sundays

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.
