Kelly and I have been on vacation in Key West for the past several days. It is our first since our honeymoon a couple years ago. While we are not much for the party scene, tend to wake early and also hit the sack early, you might think KW is not our scene. I can’t speak for my better half but I am enjoying myself. I like the kind of seedy, brokedown aspect of the keys, kin of an old-Florida vibe. Of course the price of things down here is a bit incongruent with that feeling, but I like it just the same. We’ve spent a lot of time just relaxing and reading, walking around town and taking it all in. The Duval St scene is interesting but neither of us are much into pub crawls or blind drunkenness!

I made the conscious decision not to bring any camer gear aside from our point n shoot and my iPhone. Camera Bag app is my favorite, for sure! Sometimes it’s just nice to just be a tourist. Here are a few snaps so far…..

My friend John Tully works for the Midland Daily News in Michigan. Recently a soldier from his coverage area was killed and he covered the story of Staff Sgt Timothy David’s return home. He was able to photograph the return of the remains to Michigan at the airport but not the actual funeral. However, I think Tully did a good job of shooting around the edges of the story and gave a good impression of what the loss of Staff Sgt David meant to the community.

Check out his blog for not only his coverage of this story but for all the great work he is doing.

This view is on the left flank of the Confederate lines. The Union forces advanced across this field towards where this photo was taken.
