I attended a Worldwide Photowalk that met at Vizcaya on a Sunny Saturday

The lavish landscaped grounds of Vizcaya are amazing, so much beauty and architecture.

The Purple Bridge

When you travel through Downtown Miami, you can see this bridge at night going to the Port of Miami.

The shoreline in this area is of limestone and extends to as far as you can see. The surfaces have been weathered from the pounding of the waves.

A visit to Vista View Park in Davie Florida. A wide open field with cloudy skies and no one around.

The 1970s – The Beachlife in Miami

The best of times for kids growing up was during the late 60’s and the 70s where we enjoyed a simple life. Had loads of friends and always something to do. The ocean was very much part of our lives growing up. The beach when we were small, playing in the sand and exploring the water’s edge. As we got older, fishing off the piers and snorkeling along the shores & jetties. We surfed, swam, fished and did most anything else that we could do on or below the water.
