The Biggest Orange I Ever Did See

One of those really cool, cheesy, but fun roadside pieces of Americana that is along US1 in Melbourne, Florida.

Although this one is well taken care of, so many things like this have disappeared over the years.

I love stuff like this.

When I was a kid in the sixties and seventies, it seemed like we saw all manner of goofy stuff along highways.

You don't see this kind of thing near as much now, and to me, it's sad.

If you're out scouting cheesy stuff, does that mean your back feels better?

Sorry to say, but not really much better. I'm just kind of existing in a work/eat/sleep mode and haven't been out to wander and photograph stuff in months.

I was off Friday and felt good enough to get out and run some errands and took my camera along. I knew I only had a limited window of opportunity and used it on the orange.

I love cheesy stuff like that, too! Like a giant peach water tower in Georgia.
