The Real Florida

Forget Disney World and the beach front condos. Get off the major highways, and this is what you can find. This is the real Florida the natives hope the outsiders don't spoil. My apologies that the vapor trail of Atlantis at 5:30 is so fuzzy due to Youtube's compression ratio. Maybe I'll get closer next time. Thanks for watching!

This thing makes me so homesick it almost makes me want to cry.

I love old Florida. I live in Jupiter where I own one acre of pristine hammock. Every day that I come home is a dream come true. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures.

@dimitrigregorieff Thanks, Dima, glad you dropped by for a visit....nice to meet someone who appreciates beauty that doesn't come from a container.

@bellamoonnature That's for sure....some of the policies I hear about in Australia I would have never expected ten years ago. I guess the Crocodile Dundee spirit has been sucked dry......to put it nicely.

@bigbeninjax Oh ~ What would you expect from a government with their very impressive.... (not) track record Ours, are just as daft as your pollies ~ sad to say......

@bellamoonnature Yes, I'm glad UMG and YT let me keep the music used here, especially the Aussie connection. The Cape area is really going to be decimated by the brain drain now that the shuttle is gone....can't believe the fools in govt didnt even save one for emergencies until a reliable replacement is made.

Thoroughly enjoyed my journey through the backblocks of Florida, boppin ' along to the Troggs and our own LRB. Oh, to have seen a shuttle takeoff ~ now that dream has gone up like the vapour left behind it. 'I Love Lucy'. The butterflies were gorgeous.

Beautiful place your backyard!!!! Thanks for sharing your lot.........

@capttheo1 I agree....each time I go to Cedar Key I fully expect the old "Honeymoon Cottage" (at 4:41) to be gone....from the weight of the pelicans if nothing else. At least plenty of artists have painted it to keep the memory going when that day comes.  Thanks for dropping by again!

It always makes me kind of sad whenever I see those rotting out, collapsing piers, sometimes with the remains of a building on it. Just thinking that an era when it was still in use came to an end. Such a pity.
