Brewer Park

The other day a friend and I went searching for a place to play tennis since we were exiled from our usual courts due to "lessons," and he reminded me about a park on Miller near (?) South Miami called Brewer Park. This little jem of a park is a hop, skip and a jump from UM and is super serene and peaceful. I want to go there all the time now. There's birds, hungry geese, kids ballin', a canal which makes for a treacherous water hazard (it's like miniature golf for tennis), and is just really beautiful. It's nice to find these little pockets of peacefulness within Miami. I of course took a bounty of photos, and happened to be there around sunset:

There's giant rocks with plaques:

And lots of hungry geese and gosslings:

The little ones made a beeline for the lady with the bread:

Tennis at Crandon Park - Part 1 of Sunday at the Park

This morning in the 90 degree heat, I went to play tennis at the Crandon Tennis Center for the first time and it was awesome! It's $3 to play per hour on the hard courts (they are purple and adorable) and are really REALLY nice courts. Plus it's fun to play where all of those "other" tennis players have played - if you've been to the Sony Ericsson you know who I am talking about). We made it out right before the clouds of doom from Tropical Storm Fay were coming ashore. Here are some photos:
