Wow, those are some great shots from Florida. I went there myself last year(July) scuba diving and got some photos myself. Of course my sunset isn't as good as yours with the grass silhouettes.

Thanks muchly for feedback on pics.

Idnic - sorry - it was enough to drive a billion miles and organise mine and my friends kids. Tea wasn't even an option!

Personally, I think Universal's Islands of Adventure was superb (they show Disney how to do it) and the staff are much friendlier. Hulk is a great ride.

What I haven't mentioned is that I did go to Cocoa Beach for the launch of the Mars orbiter. However, I had asked a friendly resident (who had seen three previous launches) which tower it was taking off from. He pointed to either of two sets of towers [can you read where this is going yet?!] so I set up my long lens and trained it on the site. Dead-on the countdown I scanned both sites for the ignition smoke but saw nothing. I heard a fantastic rumble and frantically searched for the lift-off. Nothing. So I looked up and noticed a wiggly plume of smoke where the orbiter had departed from a set of towers to the far left, out of sight from the beach!

So all I can say is that I've heard a launch, while the rest of my family (who I left on the beach 200 metres away) all saw it. They described it as large flare going up and said that I didn't miss much, but I lnow that my lens would have got the lot in detail, so I was absolutely gutted! Hopefully, there'll be a next time - and I can see the extremely funny side of it.

Jon, nice pics.
We're off to FLA in November.
Friends (Floyd/ John - did you meet him at one of the GTGs?) have a villa in Orlando that we're staying at with them.
Been many many times before but any tips on anything new in last couple of years?

Really beautiful images. I have to say your son looks angelic. Like a little cherub, so beautiful. You really captured the beauty of Florida. Makes me want a vacation!
