A visit to the Beach

A visit to the Beach

Higgs Beach in Old Town Key West is a favorite hangout for locals. Although it is probably not the best swimming beach on the island, it has all the other nostalgic charm of a laid back Key West setting. There are beach chair and umbrella rentals available. There is also a bar and restaurant on the beach, volleyball courts, grills for cookouts,
famous sunning pier and free tennis courts.

It's just a beautiful day

Just a beautiful day in paradise !

My Wordless Sunday # 8

Sea Gypsy

The Sea Gypsy

I am fevered with the sunset,
I am fretful with the bay,
For the wander-thirst is on me
And my soul is in Cathay.

There 's a schooner in the offing,
With her topsails shot with fire,
And my heart has gone aboard her
For the Islands of Desire.

I must forth again to-morrow!
With the sunset I must be
Hull down on the trail of rapture
In the wonder of the sea.
