At times, during Paul's working day, he will bring me along with him when he go for site inspection. It's nice for me cause I get to see the different and various part of Florida and the numerous housing subdivision here. It is a change cause growing up in Singapore, it's a concrete jungle for me. Each building is taller than the other and even the housing apartment is nothing less than 10th storey. For me, I lived on the 13th floor in Singapore and I love the unblocked view from my bedroom.
Over here in Oviedo(or Orlando), unless it's the business district would you find high rise building. Other than that, the houses here are at most 2nd storey, the shopping mall is the same at 2nd storey (unlike like ours which rises to 4th storey or even higher) and apartments are at 3rd storey highest. But I love the openess here and not forgetting some of the unique and rare sight which I would never see in Singapore.
What rare sight you might ask, well it's kind of normal to see cows and goats in someone's barn which is like at their backyard. Or even seeing chickens and rooster at the back of the restaurant (not all but just this particular one in Oviedo), sometimes there's horses in their backyard too. And squirrel climbing and hopping on the trees. Some have told me they even see deer running across their backyard ! And just yesterday I saw this Sand Hill Crane that stroll down the road which causes Paul to stop his truck just so the crane can cross the road.
I was excited and beyond believe ! Seriously, we would never witness such sight in Singapore. But here it is, this crane just take it's own sweet time to cross the road, with no fear for us nor the traffic. Instantly I whipped out my camera and started snapping pictures of it. I am even more shock that the crane did not attempt to run away even when I wind down the window and poke my head out of the window and started taking pictures. The crane just stood beside me posing gracefully like it know I am taking pictures of him/her.

I wish you folks can witness this and admire the beauty of this crane. It's something like I would see when I go to the Bird Park in Singapore but here it is, standing on the roadside just staring at me fearlessly. Gosh, it's kind of tall too and I think it's almost the same height as my 2yrs 4mths old nieces and nephew and it's beautifully breath taking.
Anyway here are the pictures, enjoy !
