a southern belle turns beach bum

Atlantis Launch

Yes, it’s been awhile since I’ve been here. What can I say, this southern belle has been busy trying to eek out a few bucks to survive on (btw, 2009 calendar is once again for sale at Coastal Designs. Toward the end of the year, I will be putting together another calendar for the 2010 season. And, if you are so inclined….visit my zazzle site at Southern Expressions.)

But enough of that. Living in Cape Canaveral has been tough on many folks because of the economy, to say the least. This is a town that has relied heavily on the space program. And while Pres. Obama says he will try to continue the space program at least another year or so, everything is up in the air. Believe me, this area needs it. We rely a lot on tourism, but with the economy as bad as it is, tourism is kind of at a low point now.

so, without further ado…here are a few photos I snapped of the Atlantis launch from my (yes) balcony.

About Author

I'm LA, just little ole me, a southern belle who has always dreamed of being a beach bum. And now I am! I live in beautiful Cape Canaveral, FL, just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean. When I'm not lounging on the beach, I do graphic design and photography. Many of those photos you'll see on this blog. Check out the Photography and Graphics pages of this blog to see about pricing for each. So sit back, grab a tall cold glass of sweet tea and enjoy the view from the coast!
