After breakfast, Liz, David, and I went for a nice hike at Long Beach. This place reminds me of Jekyll Island because being secluded, the Deer on the beach and the blown over trees; however, Jekyll Island does not have the pollution that we saw on this beach. We had a great time walking this secluded strip of paradise.

Hi Joe
Amazing beachfront detritus. Presumably hurricane damage. Lots of birds and fish, though, and the deer. It seems an odd habitat for the deer, to me. But obviously not to them. I tend to expect them in northern pine forests, chewing grass and looking picturesque. Instead they are in amongst the Mangroves, or similar tropical beachfront trees.
Very big day you had, there.
All those photos and dinner as well.
Enjoy the Holiday weekend.

The Key Deer is an indigenous species of Big Pine Key. This key has more fresh water than the other keys; thus, more species inhabit the area. They are smaller Deer because of the tight foliage. They also swim in the ocean to hop from island to island.
We are visiting the Keys this weekend the celebrate Liz's B-Day. We typically play hard when we visit because there is so much to do.
Wow - key deer and nurse sharks in a single post; sweet outing Joe!
