The Florida Keys are home to cranes and an assortment of birds. I was glad to have pulled over by Seven Mile Bridge near Marathon, southwest of Key Largo and Islamorada, on a beautiful afternoon the day before this visit. 

On approaching the same spot a second day, I was treated to an entirely different series of images, as the sun, skies and waters were for the most part smudged by fog.  You have hints of the spectacular water colour in the shot above, while I see the inspiration for a haiku in the elegant wing extensions below.
