"From The North Fork" Visits The Keys

We went south to celebrate an 80th birthday, reune with family and get a little fly fishing in over the Thanksgiving holidays.  The Florida Keys have become a second home for us as we have gone there for a few weeks every year for over 35 years, Big Pine Key especially.  One day waiting for the tide to change out in the "back country" flats going into the Gulf of Mexico, I put down my rod and took out the camera.  The 2 PM sun was playing the shallow waters like a prism, color dancing in my eyes.  As we drifted I took nearly 100 photos of the bottom not knowing what to expect as the water and my platform, a shallow draft skiff, was in constant motion.  I was pleased when some of them looked nice, some clear, some more impressionistic...  you just never know.

Click on photos to enlarge, it's more fun.





































HAVE A JOYFUL, PEACEFUL, MERRY HOLIDAY!

Florida Keys, Big Pine Key

We love the Florida Keys.  Amy's folks have a place on Big Pine Key.  We try to make it down there at least once a year to visit, fly fish and relax.  One day Gordy will actually get me to catch a tarpon, but it's only been 12 years so far.  Among many other attributes, Pris is a fantastic chef and has taught me a lot, and let me in on a cooking secret or two.
