Airstream Ranch

Airstream Ranch is a roadside attraction along I-4 in Dover, Florida. Like Cadillac Ranch, Airstream Ranch consists of several vehicles half buried vertically in the ground, only here Airstream trailers are used rather than old Cadillacs as the name suggests.



Apparently, not everyone approves of the Airstream Ranch and the county has ordered it to be removed because it violates city code. This was a while ago though, and yet Airstream Ranch is still there...

Loggerhead Shrike Chicks

While biking along the Seminole Wekiva Trail along International Parkway in Lake Mary, Florida, I came across two young birds that must have fell out of a nest. They couldn't fly, and just sat chirping in the middle of the pavement. On the way back, I found another pair that were in the grass just off of the trail. From the look of these birds, my initial thought was that they could be baby Chickadees. After looking through some more bird books, and having corrections emailed and left as comments, these birds are actually baby Loggerhead Shrikes.

The mother wasn't around, and I didn't see any nest. I wasn't quite sure what to do with these birds. I ended up leaving them alone after I took pictures. Hopefully the birds survive, although it's probably quite unlikely.

Homemade Airplane over Miami

These pictures were taken a few years ago in Miami, Florida. Someone was flying what appeared to be a homemade airplane over downtown. It must have been a wonderful view from up there, with massive skyscrapers and water all around.

Hammerhead

I came across this shark carcass that washed up on shore at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville, Florida. This was the first wild hammerhead shark that I've seen, dead or alive. It looks like some kind of scavenger was nibbling on the dead shark around it's gills and stomach. The shark wasn't that big, but I suppose it's better to have something nibbling on on the dead shark rather than having the shark nibbling on your ankles while swimming...
