I love the little Spotted Jewelweed almost as much as Hummingbirds and Bumblebees. Almost. At this time of year they are blooming in spades on our place and the Hummingbirds and Bumblebees are busy feeding. Since I have been a little to busy and distracted to patiently seek out spots to photograph the birds and the bees here is one of a Spotted Jewelweed under its sun porch.
The last five-six days have been fun. Posting car and truck pics is a change of pace for me. Besides from time to time one must pursue different subject matter to grow (and have a little fun) but while we have things blooming, birds and such fluttering about it is time for me to get back to nature.
I have found several photo-editors online and I am test driving them on some of my hot rod pics. here is two for effect.
Due to an ongoing health issue with one of my in-laws I will be posting but as a as-I-can kind of thing. So here is a hot rod on the fly.
I was standing on the street Saturday just admiring the cars and then a sound cut clean through the noise of the crowd. It was a sound of mechanical heaven: The whine of a gear-driven massive hunk of precision honed metal parts breathing through the pipes of ready-for-battle hard stainless steel. As a want-to-be gear head I know this sound and I turned towards it. The thing a big block blown Willys Coupe! I made may way down the street this beast went down and to take several shots of it. As has been the case, at least with me, I ask if I could take some pictures and the owner said “sure”. I talked to him for a bit and he said he drove this from his home forty-miles away without one hiccup.No trailer-queen here folks. Now that’s cool! As others gathered around I headed out to check out more cars and realized later I did not ask him what year it was. I am thinking the mid-nineteen-thirties. None the less here is one willy sweet ride.
I was at a car show today and have material for a month of Sunday’s, though I plan on only posting for a week my stuff from the show. One thing about car shows is most owners are more than willing to talk about their rides .Oh and they let you take all the pictures you want of them as well. The owner of this Pontiac was no exception. For his hospitality I will post his car first, so here is one sweet 63′ Grand Prix.
