Underwater views
We rented a kayak while we were in the Keys and got to explore a little.
I loved this small path we were able to paddle in!
And since we had a waterproof camera I was able to stick it in the water and snap a few photos of anemones and such.
Starfishes.
Hermit crab?

Florida Keys
PS/Update - I do realize the horizons are not straight, and I know I could fix them, I could have taken them straight to begin with, but we were on bridges and that's how they looked to me and I like them that way, lol
I have so many photos from vacation that I still haven't shared. So, way back in February, after camping in the swamp for a couple of nights we headed down to the Keys. I had never seen water this color!
So, while Dennis manned the wheel, I poked buttons on the camera, zipping very quickly over bridge, after bridge, until we made it to Key West.
I wouldn't mind living right there!
The water around the islands is fairly shallow and there are no good swimming beaches, to speak of, we were told that's because of the reef. We found a few spots to peek into the water, and wade a bit.
We were supposed to go out parasailing and snorkeling but the winds kept the boats docked. :(
We really enjoyed our time in the Keys, but honestly wouldn't go back. It's just not really our scene, we were happier back up on beaches we could enjoy.
But I loved the color of the water!
See, bridge after bridge after bridge, kinda scary.
