I'm experimenting with the video and stills taken from my beach area in Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. I even added one of my original songs called "Crazy Old Man". The next one will be better. That is, of course, if I can justify to the wife buying a new Panasonic SD90 1080p camcorder :-) This ...

By the time I got to Manatee Park in Cape Canaveral, the sun was almost gone. I had to snap this "dead tree" sunset fast! The park is on the shores of the Banana River Lagoon and offers a wide variety of events including an Annual Art Festival. Cape Canaveral Beach at Sundown looking Southeast. N...

There is nothing better than walking out the door and snipping fresh basil for my dinner tonight. I'll be adding it to my special Basmati Rice and the Mahi Mahi with Shrimp will have a few leaves thrown in as well. It's my wife's favorite! Basil is an annual and is easily grown from seed. There a...

Coconuts on the Beach is a favorite Cocoa Beach watering hole and restaurant with a great view. These photos were taken on a lazy afternoon during the week but on weekends the place rocks! This pretty lifeguard obviously enjoys her job. It's HAPPY HOUR! Rainbow Thai Cuisine Sushi Bar Menu. The co...

The safe landing of the Space Shuttle Atlantis on 7/21/2011 at 5:57 AM, signalled the end of an era here on the Space Coast. This 12 day flight officially ended the 30 year old shuttle program but there is renewed hope for continued success at KSC. The Atlas V rocket is undergoing safety evaluati...

These classic Indian Bikes immediately caught my eye as I was walking toward Cocoa Beach by Coconuts. Indian Motorcycles were manufactured in the USA from 1901 to 1953 and now a new company has been manufacturing the latest version since 2006. The owners were both local, one from Cocoa Beach, the...

I start my daily bike ride around 6 or 7pm and take along my trusty (and small) Canon point and shoot just in case. My route takes me along Ridgewood Ave. to the Cocoa Beach Pier where the first two photos were taken, then back to Jump's Tiny Tavern to throw a few horseshoes. From there, I head t...

Florida Residents see gators as just part of the landscape but have a healthy respect for the possible dangers of getting too close. If you want to go swimming, we have miles and miles of beautiful beaches but if you need a fresh water fix, there are safe places to go. Nuisance Gators are either ...

My wife planted these portulacas in a hanging basket that are really doing well. The beautiful orange flowers attracted this hairy-footed female flower bee (I think) that got the attention of our fake yellow gecko :-). There are about 40 to 100 species of portulacas found in the tropics and warm,...

My African Cichlids were getting amorous and zipping around the aquarium, so I quickly set up my camera and started filming. My wife calls these guys my "little piranhas" and they can get pretty fiesty. They are a lot of fun to watch and you don't have to "poop and scoop". Our Spotted Shark catfi...
