Most nights after the sunsets we get a special glow of purple. Long ago the Spanish named my island home after that famous purple hue. Islamorada.
Purple and blue rays

The purple and orange skies reflect off the calm water behind the break wall.
Maybe one day our species will value life more than money.

Timone the green sea turtle breaks the surface of the water behind the sea wall. In the distance the bright orange sun casts its orange glow on the water.
Timone, the beautiful green sea turtle, back for sunset celebration after a brief stint at the turtle hospital.

A large iguana moves across the power lines and into another tree.
Some people have birds or squirrels hopping from power lines to trees but here we have 20lbs iguanas.

Manatees, sea turtles, and puppies! Who do you sunset with?

A young manatee checked me out while I was out on a mangrove clean up in the clear kayak. Normally the younger guys are shy so I was surprised when he came back and swam right under me.

An after the rainstorm has passed, orange Everglades sunset.
Cayman dog goes for a swim at the local sandbar.
All island pups can swim, true island dogs do it with a smile.

The last sliver of sun shows above the horizon of late day silver and orange water of the Everglades.

A photograph looking down the starboard rail of a motor yacht. In the mid ground a center console is tied the motor yacht and in the background the sunset illuminates the clouds reflecting off the bay in a bright pink.
My front yard and primary vehicle. Life is short, might as well enjoy the view.

A soft focused photo of life under the mangroves. The roots are covered with sea anemones, plant life, and encrusting sponges. A few glass minnows meander through the shot.
Not especially fond of out of focus photos but I keep coming back to this one. When I think of being under the mangroves this is always the image that comes to mind.
