| FLYING IN TO KEY WEST ONE SUNNY DAY |
 |
| ONE OF MANY IGUANAS THAT APPEAR TO SOAK UP THE SUN - THESE ARE NOT NATIVE TO KEY WEST AND AT ONE TIME WERE SO PROLIFIC THAT THEY HAD TO "ERADICATE" DUE TO HAVING NO NATURAL PREDATORS. APPARENTLY SOME OF THE LOCALS CALL THEM "CHICKEN OF THE TREES" - DOES EVERYTHING TASTE LIKE CHICKEN, I WONDER??? |
 |
| YUM, OUR SPINY LOBSTER (CRAYFISH) ON THE GRILL |
 |
| A GORGEOUS BOUGAINVILLEA TOPIARY OUT IN FRONT OF THE WESTIN HOTEL, DISNEY CRUISE SHIP IN THE BACKGROUND |

 |
| THE DISNEY CRUISE SHIP LEAVING THE DOCK |

 |
| OH SO SPECTACULAR AFRICAN FLAME TREES, SO LOVELY TO SEE THEM SO FAR FROM HOME |
 |
| Clerodendrum vine creeping and blooming all over the island |
 |
| A BEAUTIFUL SILVER PALM, WITH IT'S BUNCHES OF "BERRIES" AND BEDECKED WITH BLUE CHRISTMAS BALLS - A TROPICAL CHRISTMAS |
