Observatory Canaveral National Seashore

The Observatory at Canaveral National National Seashore, Florida is a mystery owned by NASA. The Observatory sits at the end of the drive-able road, just past parking area 13. We have asked several National Park Rangers about this structure and we get shaking heads and hands, nope, that belongs to NASA. We can still admire the building and wonder of its use.

Canaveral National Seashore is a full day trip of fun in the sun or come for a morning stroll down the beach. The sunrise view from this Florida east coast beach is spectacular. August 2019.

Canaveral National Seashore includes Playalinda Beach with access from Titusville and Apollo Beach north, access from New Smyrna Beach.

Sea Turtle Tracks Canaveral National Seashore

Sea Turtle tracks coming up the beach at Canaveral National Seashore, Playalinda Beach, Florida. New tracks are sought after each morning by National Park Rangers, Scientists, and volunteers. They locate the tracks, cover the newly laid nest with protective mesh to keep predators away, and journal the location and date. 

Sea Turtle activity this year has been booming! This means many little turtle babies will be added to our wonderful waters.

Florida Fish and Wildlife has more information on nesting, projects, and threats for Sea Turtles.

Atlas V Rocket Launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida

August 8, 2019, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket delivered an advanced communications satellite to space for the US Air Force. This is a picture of what civilians saw from Melbourne, Florida. People viewing the rocket launch in Brevard County, standing outdoors can also hear and feel the power of the launch. Any launch is a site to behold. 

Exceptional viewing areas can be found at Jetty Park or on Upcoming Rocket Launches page for Kennedy Space Center.

Cocoa Beach (In The Day)

Cocoa Beach in Pictures has been an inspiration/dream of mine for quite some time. I am excited and blessed to begin my fun :) Thought my first post would be Cocoa Beach, Florida .... first light of the day .... back "in the day". This is a glimpse of me through the lens and eyes of my husband during our courtship 20 years ago on a wooden beach access walk path entering Cocoa Beach (Cape Canaveral city limits really, but within a mile or two north of Cocoa Beach).
