John bought a waterproof pouch for the digital camera to try and get some shots while skin diving |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There was some light overcast, so the camera had trouble with the lighting. The color of the fish was amazing in person |

We rented bikes one day to tour the island |
|
|
|
|
|

Our first stop was Hemmingway's house (it was a bit of a dissapointment) |
|

We stopped at the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The variety of moths, butterflies, and birds was very interesting |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The grounds were also very beautiful |
|
|
|

It was a good place to try out the close-up feature of my new camera |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was actually a very nice place, and we really enjoyed our time there |
|
|
|

Of all the 'Tourist' stops, this was probably the best value |
|

Fort Jefferson was also a nice suprise. It was historically interesting, and had some nice ocean views. |
|
