In a play based on my life, the Florida Keys would be one of the major settings along with perhaps New York City and Mexico. The destination provided so many wonderful memories (a few scary ones too). I expect so much more magic from the Keys in the future too. Yes, I will always return […]

Sunset Sunday – Islamorada, Florida Keys
by Craig Zabransky on June 19, 2011 in Sunset Sunday
A slight breeze kept the mosquitoes away while the temperature dropped just a few degrees from its midday high. The idyllic climate matched the setting as I settled in for the sunset at Pierre’s in Islamorada. The bartender arrived with our cocktails and placed my manhattan on the table. As I reached for my first […]

Sunset Sunday – The Florida Keys Oceanside Sunset View
by Craig Zabransky on March 21, 2010 in Sunset Sunday
Times exist when you wonder. You stare at the sky and wonder if the sun has already set or if the day still “officially” holds a few minutes. You can’t see the sun dip over the horizon. Many times this winter in Florida Keys I found myself on the “oceanside” and not the “bayside” with […]

The Sunset Bridge of Historic Banning Mills
by Craig Zabransky on August 15, 2021 in Sunset Sunday
After the day of adventure riding eco-spider ATVs, a gentle kayak on the lake, and then dinning at the main lodge, I walked back over the bridge to retire to the tree house for the evening. On my walk, I paused to take in the view of Historic Banning Mills at sunset. I settled in […]

by Craig Zabransky on December 31, 2018 in Destination
Heading south for a break from winter becomes the popular play for many travelers as winter approaches in the north. For east coasters in the US it often means trips to Florida, the sunshine state. Such trips do not need to stick to beaches around the selected airport with and hire a limo service in […]

by Craig Zabransky on January 7, 2018 in Films, Sunset Sunday
No doubt the Sunset Sunday Series visited amazing places again in 2017. With eighteen posts across Asia, Europe, and the Americas we visited and learned about special sunset moments not just from me, but largely from guest posts from my readership and other fellow travelers and fans of the sunset. From a sunset in Wadi […]

We Wish You a Colorful Christmas, the Florida Bay Sunset
by Craig Zabransky on December 24, 2017 in Sunset Sunday
There is stillness, a silence in the sunset. At times it is a wonderful shared event such as celebrating milestone moments, other times it is spending the moment in the solitude of nature that makes it so special. For me, I often enjoy taking my SUP paddle board out on the Florida Bay at sunset. […]
