One of these days I might actually take some pictures of cars. Until then, you'll just have to make do with some nature/landscape stuff.

This is in the Wind River Range in Wyoming, last August.

Awesome! Is that Big Sandy Lake? Did you make it to the Cirque of Towers? One of my favorite places in the world.

Lee - That's lower Cook Lake. We went in at the Elkhart trailhead out of Pinedale and did a big loop. We went past Island Lake and Titcomb basin then headed South cross-country from there but we ended up getting chased out two days early by snowy weather. Just narrowly avoided getting trapped up near the crest by the snow.

I like to avoid crowds and Cirque of the Towers is one of the most crowded places in the whole area. Thing is, with all the bad smoke covering everything in the West last year, the Winds were one of the places where the smoke wasn't too bad and everyone was heading there. There were people everywhere and we ran into two different parties from the Seattle area, so the word was out.


Hikin Mike - nice work on that Barn Owl! I now have pics of Snowy Owls, Short Eared Owls, and Great Horned Owls. Would sure like to get a Barn Owl, they are really cool looking birds.

Nice Snow Geese, Mike. I didn't make a trip to see them this year. There is a refuge a couple hours North of me that gets massive flocks of them in the winter and I usually head up there in February or early March but it didn't work out this year.

Did spot this Great Horned owl at another refuge last weekend. The picture isn't all that good because he was a long way off and there were lots of little twigs & branches in the way. This is a 100% crop from a 24mp image.

Here's a bird pic:





You'd think as big as they are, that tree branch wouldn't hold it.
I 1st saw it I thought it was 'floating' in the air above the tree.
(Tree about 30' tall, heron about 3' tall)

I agree. Amazing that they don't break the branches.

Those Owls are tough to find at times.

More bird shots...
A “Goldenrod-yellow Tireshredder”


Black-necked Stilt


Took this Barn Owl about 10 years ago. I was still using a walker at the time and I nearly fell over taking this.

Before I retired I managed the restoration of two WWII era trolley cars. Also known as PCC cars.
From rusted out hulks my crew and I restored these cars to fully operating vehicles in the San Diego transit system operating alongside newer Siemens transit vehicles.
