Although it's the 'Old Florida' architecture that captures my eye in photos and collage, Cedar Key is a place of wonderful natural beauty. We typically end every walk-about through town with a walk by the Gulf edge, the docks and by the small beach. There are so many birds here. This year we live by a flock of Roseate Spoonbills. An Osprey likes a perch right off our deck. And the Brown Pelicans are ubiquitous.
The 1842 Daily Grind is a great addition to life in Cedar Key and the only place to get a cappucino or latte, with superior brewed coffee as well. Add to this an excellent and unique breakfast and lunch menu and it's a special place. My personal favorite thing is the retro phonograph spinning vinyl, which I've featured in the collage. Johnny Mathis, Tom Jones ballads & Edie Gorme. No actual octopi were on the roof last I looked.

Island Arts is one of two galleries in Cedar Key. Cedar Key Keyhole gallery is just a wander down the block. We always find a treasure in Cedar Key. And although I've amplified the colors, the bright turquoise and green facade definitely was collage calling.

Cedar Key Pizza is just the best. Unique pan pizzas loaded with toppings. A tiny carry-out they're well organized and set up to make pizza. Great to watch them at work.
I am usually attracted to the Coastal colors, but I came upon this abandoned cottage and just felt the past within it.

It was colder here this trip - the 2018 freeze came this far, but the cozy inside warm-up time made a nice space for collage. The silver lining.
