Florida's Red Shouldered Hawk

Florida's Red Shouldered Hawk......

.....is a fairly common sight in Florida's wetland areas where small prey abounds. I've been witness to this bird munching on a..........well.....a snake, which I shared in this post DinnerTime in Florida's Wetlands The dribble you see is snake guts........what can I say, it is what it is. A very photographic bird with a keen eye and razor sharp beak, content to just sit, watch, wait...........then pounce. Not here though, this is just a nice pic with no gore!!!

If you would, let me know how the color looks on your screens, I'm having trouble calibrating my older moniter -THANKS :-)

Hubble Images @ Kennedy Space Center Titusville FL

Images from the Hubble Telescope at the Kennedy Space Center Titusville FL

Last week I re-visited the Kennedy Space Center located right here in Titusville Florida


NASA...Shuttles...Rockets...Astronauts....Kennedy Space Center....all reasons we are known as Florida's Space Coast. It had been 5 or 6 years since my last visit and I must say it's pretty impressive. Security
was tight but not oppressive, and...several new features have been added. There are 2 IMAX theaters.
One featuring Man's Moon Missions, the other a close encounter with the Space Station.........both
excellent productions lasting 40-45 minutes. I don't know why I found it odd, but the narrations are
done by Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise respectively.

We got to ride in the Shuttle Launch Simulator....don't let the warnings scare you off!!! There's much shaking and rattling and sounds of blasting off, but all within tolerable limits. This "ride" is purported to
be the most realistic second only to the actual lift off (which I don't plan on experiencing). After seeing
the sleeping quarters in gravity-free space...uhhhh, no thanks!

The newest exibition features photos taken by the Hubble Telescope in "deep space". We've all seen pictures of the incredible gas and dust filled nebulae, but seeing them on a larger scale can simply take
your breath away and tantilize the imagination to soar!

Below are a few photos that turned out pretty well considering the environment in which they were taken. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Incredible as these images are there will be a new, bigger, better, farther-reaching telescope launched in 2013 - THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE. It will literally take us where no man has gone before. So hang onto your warp-speed belts.........the ride is just beginning.........OH MY!!!

How long will it take REAL ESTATE IN TITUSVILLE FL to sell - 3/11/10

Market Report Titusville FL March 11, 2010 - With Absorption Rate

Titusville FL Market Report 3/11/10This is a short report which covers all of Titusville - MLS areas 102, 103 and 104 starting near
HWY 46 to Kings HWY on the south end.

I do specific reports on each of the MLS areas separately as the dynamics are different for each MLS area.

There are currently 643 active listings in Titusville
There are currently 130 properties under contract
There have been 293 closings in the past 6 months

There are a few less listings than the last report and fewer properties are under contract. Number of closings in the past 6 months has improved by 33 - good!

ABSORPTION RATE

Simply stated it will take 13.17 months to absorb the inventory of properties for sale at the current levels. This is a nice improvement over the past 2-3 reports. We're not out of the woods but definitely moving in the right direction. This is positive news.


The formula is simple: # of sales in 6 months divided by 6 = absorption rate.
# of listings divided by absorption rate = number of months to absorb.

There are 6,750 single family residences currently listed in Brevard MLS compared to 6909 in the June/09 report. The inventory is still decreasing and that's the best news we could have :-)

4,889 single family houses
1,478 condos
383 townhouses
