Greetings from Key West

Hey guys,
Greetings from Key West. It's been so long since I've visited and I sure missed it. There is something to be said about Key West and that laid back, island time feeling : ) Only been here a couple days so far but as you can see from the photos I'm "at work". Actually as many of you already know I love to shoot for fun aside from my job. It's super exciting too because I got a new lens before my trip and was dying to try out my very first macro lens (for close-ups). I Love, Love, Love it! So fun. Now to tell you a lil bout the photos. Pic 1 is my signature postcard I usually do one from each place I visit. Photos 2&3 are of this lil guy I couldn't get enough of, I found him to be exceptionally fascinating. I must have about 20 photos of the octopus but I really felt drawn to the somewhat less sharp/abstract ones. Pics 4, 5, 6 were of me falling in love with my macro lens and finding it fun to photograph these little guys I probably would not be able to shoot underwater since A) I don't feel comfortable with all the gear underwater and B) I am not takin my cameras underwater. How's that for an answer? As for the rest, just some things that always catch my eye: architecture, bold color, small details, amusing or odd items, and of course, animals. Enjoy and remember to take the time to relax and have fun doing the things which make your heart smile this holiday season.
