Tropical Runway by Sam Lyons

The details on this incredibly life-like scene are so exact, you can hear the call of the birds and the gentle whoosh of their wings. Feel the heaviness of the Florida air. Take a breath and you can smell the slightly musky, earthy scent of the lush tropical greenery. And how about the gator? Can you spot her?

This is the view Sam and Mindy Lyons have from their Lakeland backyard. Unfortunately a gorgeous Cub float plane does not sit by their dock. They don’t even have a dock.... yet.
