Mole Cricket

Mole Crickets are insects that burrow under perfectly manicured lawns and chew on the grass roots, therefore destroying the perfect lawn.

I came across this mole cricket one night, and then allowed it to go free and wreck havoc on perfect lawns. I always could have cooked the mole cricket for a snack instead...

Green-Glowing Sky

After an afternoon rainstorm in Florida, on rare occasions the sky turns a greenish-yellow color and everything has a very strange glow for a while, normally until the sun sets. These pictures are from one of these occasions...





Oak trees against the strange colored sky...




These is one of the last grapefruits of the season, almost the same color as the sky...

Florida's Wild Parrots

Florida has flocks of wild parrots flying in it's skys. These parrots aren't native to North America, and were most likely escaped pets that easily adapted to Florida's warm climate.

The parrots are black hooded parakeets...

Seminole County Fair 2008

These pictures were taken at the 2008 Seminole County Fair that takes place in the Seminole Town Center Mall parking lot in Sanford, Florida. The pictures were taken on April 2, 2008...

The Ferris Wheel:








Monkey Maze (House of Mirrors):


Carnie Food:


Graviton:


It seems like small carnivals normally don't have dark rides. This one had two! The murals on the front of these rides are always so much better than ride itself.

Ghost Pirates Dark Ride:




Haunted Mansion Dark Ride:


And that's the Seminole County Fair. It really shouldn't be called a fair though. Fairs should have farm animals and giant vegetable competitions as well as rides. The Seminole County Fair actually did once have the whole fair experience and was held at the site of the old dog track in Casselberry, Florida. After the dog track closed, the fair moved to this mall parking lot, and lost the farm animals. Without this stuff though, it's just a carnival...
