Cell phone pics and South Beach are a good combo

Hey ya'll,

I hope you (non) readers are enjoying my posts so far!  LOL! ;)
I don't think anyone is reading it yet. Probably because I didn't send out an invite to anyone to read it?
Whoops!

I find myself shooting photos with my blackberry phone while out and about.
It's so handy (yet low resolution).
It's just fun now that almost every phone has a camera built into it.  Everyone has become a photographer when it was actually more rare to be one back in the day.  I sound old. I'm not that old.

I just want to say that I remember film like an old friend.  Especially b&w.
Some pics I have taken in the past week or two driving back and forth from South Beach and Fort Lauderdale.  Beautiful days with wonderful friends.  Just sharing... :)

I think this was while I was at a light in Aventura, FL.  Pretty sunset and palm trees.

This is just NOT recommended!  Weird! 
Good thing the police were there helping out with the traffic movement.

Sonia and I went to Epicure on 5th Street on South Beach.
It's super duper famous if you don't know it. 
This is a red velvet cupcake "to go".
I didn't get it but we did share a chopped salad with blackened grouper on top of it and we each had the seafood bisque.  They have the best dark rolls with chopped onions inside. 
It was so good with the soup as it was a chilly South Beach day which is rare.

Here is one of the stone crab cracking masters!
In the martini glass is an orange and grouper/shrimp civiche.
I would like to try that sometime soon!

Waiting at the bridge on the Venetian Causeway.
It was a kinda cool day for South Florida.
Downtown Miami in the background.

Yes, a bird shit on my windshield.
It was fresh alright as it dripped all down the window after I shot this pic.  LOL!
It's good luck, right?! ;)

The boat show was in town and very happening around the Miami Beach convention center.
Parking was a bit more difficult than usual.

Julia Tuttle causeway at sunset.
One of the most beautiful causeways EVER in my opinion.
The story is that as you drive over the bridge part that the bumps in the road create a beat that the Bee Gee's used in a song. It might have been 'Jive Talkin'" but I'm not sure and should probably verify before posting!  :)

My friend Steve has an awesome house on South Beach and a very tranquil yard.
He also has a gardenia bush that every year I steal flowers off of (and avocadoes when they are ripe).
It's a fruitful home!
Gardenia flowers are my all time favorite flower.
They remind me of my grandmother, Shirley.

This past Sunday I had the lovely pleasure of seeing my dear ol' friend, Sharon and her 7 week old baby daughter, Mia! She's so precious!! I loved holding her and having her sleep on my chest! She's so warm and cuddley. Babies are beautiful!  Congrats to Sharon & Shaun!!!!!!!  What a beautiful sweet girl they have!
I have been friends with Sharon since 8th grade.  We had modern dance class together! 
FUN!  She ROCKS and is already an outstanding mommy!

I hope everyone (none of you?) are having a fab week so far!
More on the flip side my little rockers!
