It would be perfect if it had:

* a car up on blocks somewhere in the photo

* an out-of-state license plate on the main object in the photo (or
elsewhere, but there would be perfect...)

* a "Mickey" somewhere in the picture, like say a garden statue

Otherwise, yep, that pretty much sums up Florida. (And I can't quite
make it out, but if that tree is an Australian Pine, that's even
better.)

And I was born and raised here, so I'm allowed to say that.

If whoever took that picture doesn't mind, I'd like to keep a copy of it
around for when people ask me what Florida's like....
