« Key Biscayne Lighthouse »

 This little stretch of beach is sort of a special place for me.  I love lighthouses, I think they have a romantic, historic feel to them.  Even before I lived in Miami I visited the Key Biscayne lighthouse at least a couple of times a year.  It's a nice experience if you can get a chilly day when no one's at the beach and you have the place to yourself.  No such luck for me yesterday, but the light was growing more beautiful by the second, and the leaves started glowing, giving me lots of little details to play with.  I used my often-favored 50mm lens, it's excellent for shallow depth of field and has nice bokeh (the blurry parts).

It was a good day.
