Sailboat at anchor

It was a nice, relatively cool day, but lots of sunshine which means too much contrast. Nevertheless, I tried. In the background you can see a power plant, but I can't remember it's name.

Whatcha got to eat?

Cedar Keyhole

This artsy shop has been in business for over 20 years and possibly much longer than that. It offers a variety of items relating to Cedar Key, including photographs. The Cedar Keyhole is located in the middle of Main Street, which is all of about 3 blocks long.

You may have noticed I added a posterizing effect.

Tethered to a golf cart, longing to be free

I was unable to get the name of this fine-looking canine. From the looks of the pink collar, I'd say he was a she. She was tethered to the golf cart while her owner attended to business in the local hardware store.

She wanted to be free
To come romp and play with me
But sadly, as you can see,
Such unfettered fun was not to be.

Gull & Pelican Parking Lot

For some reason, a great quantity of seagulls and pelicans and other birds were making this pier wreckage their home. Some flew off, but others flew in. The pilings were jammed.

Miss Egret has no regrets

This graceful Egret sat atop a truck. Didn't seem to mind having its photo taken.

Off the beaten track in Cedar Key

Actually, this house is close to town...but off on a side road that leads to the marshes. I can't go by without taking a photo because it is very interesting. There are signs, however, that strangers are not welcome.

Waiting for his master

We're pretty sure this friendly chap was waiting for his master who was eating at Annie's Cafe. I had to stop and say hello because he looked so lonely. It appears, from the look on his face, that he wanted us to stick around and talk to him.

Face in palm tree

We have no clue as to who cut this face in this palm tree, but it has been a fixture on Cedar Key for at least 20 years!

Private plane landing on Cedar Key runway

Cedar Key doesn't have an airport...it has one runway which is used by private planes. Some who own planes have homes along the runway. This photo was taken several years ago.

The bay and dock (and old pier)

This photo, too, was taken several years ago. In the background you can see the dock area, and the old, wooden pier, which blew away in a hurricane.

The melding of day into night

Coming home in the setting sun

You'll be seeing many sunset photos at Cedar Key. They are often simply spectacular. I caught this boat on its way home as the sun went down.

Ready to sail away

The buildings on the right are condo/rentals, I believe. This would be a great place for a family vacation.

Golf cart rentals

While Cedar Key is not a large community, it is advisable (especially in the summer) to have some means of transportation if you wish to experience all that it has to offer. Thus, you can rent bicycles, motor scooters, or in this case, golf carts. Zippy-dee-doo-dah!
