Joyce Hendrix and the huge kapok tree on Whitehead Street in Key West
It is easy to spot this magnificent kapok tree when walking down Whitehead Street in Key West. It is located in front of the Monroe County Courthouse one block south of the U.S. Post Office also located on Whitehead Street. Joyce looks as small as she really is when standing beside the awesome roots of this giant kapok tree.
Feral chicken or rooster cruising the parking lot next to that large kapok tree
In case you do not know Key West has a large population of feral chickens. These chickens are descendants of fighting cocks brought to Key West by Cuban's years ago. When cock fighting became illegal the chickens were released and are protected by law in Key West. Actually, the feral chickens add charm and atmosphere to the island.

Southernmost Point in the Continental US
This is an extremely unusual sight. Very rarely will you see this southernmost point marker without tourist in the picture. Someone must have hollered "bomb" or "terrorist" or something. Trust me it is hard to pass by this marker located at the southern end of Whitehead Street when there isn't a line waiting to have their picture made with this marker.
