Moon Hawk
Yeah, so true, at long last spring has sprung here as well. And the best thing about all this is that I finally got my truck back from its heart rejuvenation project. Unfortunately, I was told in no uncertain terms to keep the revs down for the first 500 clicks. Way to take the pleasure out of the reunion.
In the interest of putting as many miles on the vehicle as possible to get this arduous break-in task accomplished, I decided to go to Hawrelak Park but although there were the obligatory geese and a few ducks, this did not pan out well at all, possibly a bit rusty (me, that is) but I did manage to find the shutter release) and I headed home after getting a great rest on my (yes, mine) park bench. I figured it’d be a good idea to charge all my batteries and retrieve the 70D from its winter storage since my mobility had returned and I saw way more trips in the near future. I head outside, 70D in-hand, to see what damage there is to be done and wow, the Red-tailed Hawk that has escaped me forever is doing some circles overhead. And it turns out there is a moon up above as well. Spring can’t possibly get any better than this … yeah well of course it can, as soon as that engine is broken in … And let me point out that this is another of my environmentally friendly shots that did not require automotive pollution. No, this is not a composite and therefore could benefit from some compositional improvements.

And thank you Dean for showing a period in time when it was perfectly acceptable to have that smoke and enjoy it at the expense of the wellbeing of so many other people. Love his voice, probably enhanced by all that smoke in his lungs.
PS: Had I just talked about spring? Well criminy, today it’s snowing. 03-Apr-17
