Space Coast Blogger

This guy was having a little fun on Coco Beach as the waves kicked up last week.

I recently had the opportunity photograph Space Shuttle Atlantis at Launch Complex 39A during KSC Family Day.

The STS-125 mission will return the space shuttle to the Hubble Space Telescope for one last visit before the shuttle fleet retires in 2010. Over 11 days and five spacewalks, the shuttle Atlantis’ crew will make repairs and upgrades to the telescope.

The White Ibis is common in the Space Coast, many times in the late afternoon you’ll find them feeding on mole crabs.

I shot this photo the morning of a scheduled launch at Kennedy Space Center. The STS-119 mission will deliver to the International Space Station the final set of solar arrays needed to complete the station’s complement of electricity-generating solar panels, and through them provide the space station with enough power to accommodate its expansion to a full crew of six in 2009.

Discovery lifted off Launch Pad 39A at 7:43 pm which was 15 minutes after sundown. The smoke trail left behind by Discovery turned a bright golden yellow when the Sun’s rays hit it.

On any given Saturday in the late afternoon, me and my Valentine like to kick back on the beach in Cape Canaveral, FL. There is where we both sit together and enjoy a small meal, then have our favorite Captain Morgan with Dole’s Pineapple/Banana/Orange juice.

It’s time’s like these that I know how lucky I am to have found the love of my life and how much I love our life together.

Happy Valentine’s Day Baby!
