Recently, I went on a mini trip to Miami Beach. After experiencing its vibrancy in music, colors and energy, I feel compelled to share some of its images with you. I hope you enjoy them.
Yellow and white squares in the middle of the beach, reminiscent of a rubik’s cube
Neons coalesce with palm trees and lit the night skies
Magical Disney balloons for the young at hearts
A Cuban restaurant/bar near the beach.
Cuban influence in Miami Beach is undeniable – from food to music
His cuteness – irresistible
Colors on the streets, loud and celebratory
Three girls dancing freely on the streets canopied by the majestic tree
And now, a little haiku that crossed my mind as I ended my trip.
It is a rather seld-indulgent post…but they appealed so much to my senses at the time that I thought others might enjoy them as well. Thank you so much. 🙏
Barbara, I am so glad you stopped by. I had no idea you live in South Florida. I have to say, it exceeded my expectation. I wish I could have visited other parts of Miami but we were short on time. Maybe next time, if we get the chance to visit again. Thank you for visiting and for your comments. ❤️
Diana, thank you so much. 🧡 You are so kind and supportive, as always. I hope you are having a little rest now that you are back.
Also, been meaning to reach out to you. Guess what I have just started reading and loving? The Rose Shield Tetralogy. I just finished Caitling’s Bane and I had a hard time putting it down to take care of chores. Thank you for such a gift of a story, Diana. I will attempt to write a review although I am quite terrible at writing one. Hoping I won’t botch it too badly this time. My sincere thanks, my friend. I honestly am not a fantasy book reader but I think you just turned me into one. 🧡 Sorry if I sound like a total fan girl. Just can’t help it! LOL… Have a beautiful rest of the weekend.
Thank you, Li’l, for the sweet comment! I’m just delighted that you took a chance with the book, especially since fantasy isn’t your usual genre. I would love a review, of course, even if only one sentence, but what really brings me a huge grin is your lovely compliment here. You made my day… my week! Happy Easter.
Absolutely beautiful and a very fun place to visit! My husband and I went to South Beach for our 2nd wedding anniversary and it was like sensory overload! I hope you have a fantastic time!!
I love the sense of energy you’ve captured through your photos and words. You’ve taken us on a wonderful little trip with you. The blue and violets on the palm tree and night sky are mesmerizing!
Wow… Miami wasn’t really on my radar (I’m not a big fan of the heat) but your post makes me reconsider…. LOVED the photo of the little girls dancing… how lovely and free they look 😊😊😊
Thank you so much, Patti. It’s definitely note a place to go for deep relaxation…but if you are looking for contagious energy…it’s perfect. At least…that’s what I think. Yes, the last picture is my favorite…I watched them dance and it brought the biggest smile to my face. 🙂
I was trying really hard to get a non-blurry photo so I didn’t think about joining in. Besides, not sure they wanted a middle-aged lady joining them in their dance. Hahaha…
Superb photos capturing the fun of Miami Beach, they’re vibrant with colour and life – I particularly love the last one of the dancing girls! How carefree and full of simple joy of living!
Thank you, Annika, for stopping by and checking out the posts. Glad you like the pictures. The last one is my favorite too. I wondered what the girls were imagining…the joys they were feeling. Have a good evening.

This would be the quintessential guide for Miami Beach!
