Rocks and Grass #1

Rock and grass in the early morning light.

I was amazed at the lines, textures, and colors; and especially by the shadows of the individual blades of grass.  And what looks almost like ancient scratch marks on the prominent stone.

Grilled Hot Rod

The owner might take exception to me referring to his car as a "hot rod."

I don't know enough about the specialized lingo of auto aficiandos to be precise.

This was taken at Cherry's Jubilee, an annual event in Monterey.

I took this picture Sunday morning at Laguna Seca, 12 September 2010.

Hundreds of cars, and I took hundreds of pictures. You will no doubt see a few more in the coming weeks. 

Route 66 Mural

This dandy was taken outside the Route 66 Casino just west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, back in September 2006.

The lovely (real) couple are our long-time friends who have put up with us on countless travels.

Camera: the Olympus that was succeeded by the Canon.

Sunrise in Tampa

Sun just about to breech the summit of the clouds.

I took this a little too soon after emerging from the air conditioning, so there is a bit of humidity still showing thru the lens.

Tampa, Florida, 3 August 2010.

Wired Bird with Bells

This yard decor has been with us for a long time, it is missing one of its brass bells.

I like the shadow and how it is barely perceptible, and the textures of the whitewashed fencing behind the crisper lines of the bird.

Taken 9 September 2010.

Three, two, one: Canon PowerShot A590

Ybor Windows
