Cedar Key Quality Canvas Products

A very nice woman runs Cedar Key Quality Canvas Products. She sells a variety of canvas items, from handbags to totes, plus other related goods. The shop fronts the main drag heading toward downtown and backs up to the inner bay area.

Restored house near downtown Cedar Key

You will find this cute little house, obviously restored, just a block off Main Street near downtown Cedar Key.

Roped off swimming area

There is a small beach near the dock area in Cedar Key which is used for swimming. Because there are so many boats in the area, they "rope" off an area where swimmers can frolic in safety.

Cedar Cove

We stayed at Cedar Cove for a few nights a number of years ago. They offer fine accommodations and the building is located right next to the swimming beach.

An unfinished dream

You will find this unfinished house on the road leading into Cedar Key. No trespassing signs abound. It appears someone had a dream but not the wherewithal to complete that dream. So, it sits, unfinished.

Bed and Breakfast Inn

This is one of a number of very fine bed and breakfast inns in the town of Cedar Key.

This old house

This old house is falling down and it doesn't appear anybody is in a hurry to fix it.

Pier in the back bay

People living along the main road back up to the back bay. Some of them have their own piers to which they can tie up their boats.

Law Office

One drives into Cedar Key on a narrow two-lane road bordered by an assortment of motels, small homes, fishing camps, boat marinas, churches, stores, etc. And that is where this particular lawyer decided to hang out his shingle. I think this was probably a store of some kind in its original incarnation.

Gulls in flight

Similar to a photo we posted a few days ago, this shot by Lois Anne captured a multitude of gulls as they took off en masse toward the sun.

Christ Church - Episcopal

Generally speaking, if you see a church with red doors in the U.S., it will turn out to be an Episcopal Church. This is located on the main drag as you come into the "downtown" area of Cedar Key.

Back bay pier

Here languish a few fishing boats waiting to do their duty. As you can see, off in the distance, one such boat has met an early demise.

Flyover

We were standing on the small beach at Cedar Key when out of nowhere this plane flew over our heads. Then it disappeared. It was quite attractive.

Not lazy, just tired

His master runs a boat rental business, but this canine really doesn't much care, so long as he gets his afternoon nap.

Crippled bird attacks food

You will note this poor gull has suffered an injury and is limping around on one leg. For some reason the other gulls left him alone so he could go after the fish left behind by some fishermen.

Going fishing? Get your bait here

The new pier at Cedar Key

Lazing away the day, fishing on the new Cedar Key pier. That includes the Pelicans!

Dock in back bay

Cedar Key Fire Station

Relatively speaking, this is a new fire station for Cedar Key. The old station was located on Main Street, and if you saw it (which you will) you would agree a new one was badly needed.

Again, I liked both the color and the B&W.
