space coast: Florida Snowbirds are Arriving Every Day - 10/23/14 08:20 AM
Florida Snowbirds are Arriving Every Day and it's time to be vigilent on the road and respectful of other people's space on the beach. Not everyone knows where they are going and it drives the locals crazy. We depend on tourism to help the local economy, so let's hope everyone just has fun! A word to the wise...be carefull if you are driving from Port Canaveral after having a nice dinner and maybe a few "cold ones". The local "constabulary" will be waiting. Take a cab.

space coast: Jump's Tiny Tavern: Worst Bar in Cocoa Beach - 10/13/14 06:28 AM
I hesitate to post local "drama" to Active Rain but I feel that my clients need to know where to stay away from, especially if they are new to the area. My group used to play horseshoes there before the husband and wife who leased the business locked horns and hired lawyers. It has gone downhill ever since and even violent thanks to the psycho wife who has decided that I am evil because I sided with the husband along with all the rest of the horseshoe players. We took our business elsewhere. If anyone wants to know where all the … (9 comments)

space coast: Music and Entertainment on Florida's Space Coast - 03/23/14 06:02 AM
Florida's Space Coast in Brevard County has some of the best Music and Entertainment you can find anywhere in the world. Pictued below are the "Legendary" Groove Monsters. They disbanded after Dave Fiester and Steve Miller tragically passed away too early in life but the blues tradition carries on from Titusville to Cocoa Beach to Melbourne. The Cove in Port Canaveral is always a good bet to find great music and seafood, Lou's Blues in Indiailantic features all the best bands and Cocoa Beach has a myriad of talented musicians in all genres.

Every year Gino and Jump's Tiny Tavern in Cocoa Beach, Fl. sponsor a Christmas Horseshoe Tournament. The competition is fierce and Tom's BBQ is excellent as always! Everyone brought sides and there was a real sense of community with lots of Christmas spirit. I was voted MVP!

 Fireworks displays were everywhere here on Florida's Space Coast. This video was taken with my Panasonic HD-TM90 beside Fishlips Restaurant in Port Canaveral. It also features views of the after fireworks party at Grill's and the Port after dark. The stills were captured from the video and "tweaked" a little. Enjoy!

space coast: Speechless Sundays: Orange Surprise! - 06/02/12 10:18 PM
This beautiful orange lily just popped open this morning in an old pot whose flowers had long ago died. I don't recall these lilies ever being there, so the seed must have migrated. Maybe it's a sign that something good is going to happen. A "windfall" perhaps? Darn, I didn't buy a lottery ticket!

space coast: Speechless Sundays - Hairy-Footed Flower Bee, Gecko and Portulacas in a Cape Canaveral Garden - 07/17/11 09:04 AM
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, temperate regions. They are also more commonly known as Moss Roses. There's that bee again.

space coast: Space Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off for the Last Time on Friday 4/29/2011 - 04/26/11 02:53 PM
Space Shuttle Endeavour Launches for the Last Time on Friday 4/29/2011 at 3:47 pm. It will be a madhouse all along the Space Coast with parked cars on the side of the road, filled viewing areas and packed beaches. Traffic is usually insane so I only go where my bike can take me and my camera. Fortunately, the beach is only a few minutes away. Commander Mark Kelly's wife, US Representative Gabrielle Giffords, is cleared to attend. President Obama will reportedly be there too. The shuttle program has been good for my area and I'll be sad to see it end … (8 comments)
