A drive in Kananaskis never disappoint, in any season. The colours are in full bloom in Mt. Lorette Ponds and Wedge Pond.
Tired of staying in the house. It has been so long I have almost forgotten how my camera works. I went for a drive where I saw nothing and photographed it just for practice.

What to photograph?
✨Finding the observer, comes awareness!✨

The sky was amazing as I was driving home from friends house a few weeks ago. I snapped this photo out of the window of my car as I was crossing over Lake Jordan. This photo was practically SOOC with just a bit of a crop.
This time of year the temperature in North Carolina can get very hot and humid, but that creates some amazing clouds. And I love beautiful clouds ! !
We often talk about 'flyover country,' dismissing the heartland, far below, as out of touch and unimportant. The real tragedy in our nation, though, lies much closer: the 'drive-by communities' we pass every day, where those who’ve fallen through the cracks live in plain sight. We soothe our consciences with shelters that don’t address the issues and RV parking lots that don’t restore dignity, all while shifting the responsibility to someone else. But what if we are that someone—the ones who could stop, see, and make a real difference? The problem isn’t their invisibility; it’s our choice to look away. Change doesn’t come from passing by—it starts when we stop.

Shot for “Looking Close… on Friday!” and the theme “Toy Cars”
I felt obligated to enter a photo for this theme. Looking back to when my son was 2-years old, he has always been into cars. And to this day at age 27, he still loves cars and works in the auto industry.
Growing up he was always playing with toy cars and he amassed a large collection of them. We (my wife and I) became quite accustomed to opening a drawer or cabinet door to find a toy car or two within. We were careful to not walk around our home barefoot as stepping on one of them was hazardous to our health. Toy cars are still in his life as we have carried on a tradition that he gets at least one toy car as a gift every Christmas.
He has lived on his own for several years now and we still find some of his cars in unsuspecting places. This Hot-Wheels roadster being one I pulled from the cabinet below our TV.
As for my title of ‘Prescription Drive’, I was a child of the 60’s and 70’s, and just hopping in the car with the family to go for a drive was quite common growing up. I enjoyed it then and still enjoy drives today. But now I have a destination in mind (usually some place I can snap a picture or two).
Rim Drive, which circumnavigates Crater Lake. Mt. Scott, where "The Crater" (www.flickr.com/photos/jeff_pj/14705735027/) was taken from, is in the background.

Yesterday they finished up their drive byes for birthdays etc. in town. The fire dept. did close to 45 of them for people.
my youngest grandson on a "game drive" in the small Dube reserve. There is a lot of game but no predators or other dangerous animals, so one can walk or cycle freely around.... www.dubegame.co.za/
The journey is as important as the destinations. Road-side Randomness in CA, AZ, NM, TX, UT, and NV on my Epic Winter Break Road Trip.
Unfortunately, my GPS had been switched off and I didn't realize it, so I have little idea where most of these were actually taken.
I believe this would be around Marble Canyon on 89A in northern Arizona.

.... well, us driving by ..me shooting scenery through the window ...
On Range Road 285 East of the City of Calgary.... you can see the Rocky Mountains... but, they are about 130 kilometers (81 miles) away and it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to drive there.
This one's for you Paul.. here is Canadian countryside at this time of year.
The snow has now melted on these fields...but, it is only March....there will be more to come before spring actually arrives. Everything's still dormant.... not much happening except a lot of geese finding the little water sloughs dotted here and there in the grain fields.... I don't know if they are filled with water all year or if they'll just dry up with time. Probably they dry out completely. They are pretty small.
We were looking for a custom garage that is way out here .....to sit in some seats .... somebody needed to check if my butt would fit into new seats for the MGB. Hmmpfff.... as if it wouldn't.
We found it... out in the middle of nowhere as you can see.....
I fit into the seats just fine ...guess he is keeping me.
What drives me to make these photographs?
If we are talking literally, then it's my beloved 2013 Toyota Yaris.
As anyone who has spent ten minutes with me knows, I am very proud of my 153.5 inch, high-mileage, low-cost Yaris. A lot of the hikes up in the White Mountains take me 2-3 hours each way from home to the trailhead. So that's a lot of Yaris time listening to podcasts, drinking coffee, and scarfing down pre-hike or post-hike food. And I really enjoy the rides: the caffeine fueled anticipation on the way to the trail and that calmness that comes with physical exhaustion on the way home.
But the reason I am talking about the Yaris -- aside from the fact that I try to bring it up in every conversation -- is that I came up with the idea for this photograph looking out the windshield on my way to the trail.
And this isn't the only one. I went back and counted the photos I shared on social media the last two years, and I had about 10-11 photographs each year that I made after spotting something on the drive up. That's like 5-10% of the photos I share here. Perhaps it's the timing and the morning light; perhaps it's the fact that the highways up in New Hampshire offer some incredible views; or perhaps it's the streams and waterfalls near the roadside that look so nice before the harsh daylight sun comes out. I noticed I tend to find a lot more photos on the way up then on the way down, so I think the key is that I am really excited about the landscape and open to what's around me in the morning and that helps me find things to photograph. As a result, it's not uncommon that I already make a photo I am happy about before I even hit the trail, which honestly feels really nice.
An image I've been wanting to capture for some time is this one.
When I've drove through the Mersey tunnels the Birkenhead one has bends in and I always thought it would make a great scene on the bend. Hence we went to New Brighton for the sunset on Tuesday and captured this as my brother drove through the tunnel, hanging out of the passenger front window resting the camera on the mirror. I left the bonnet edge in on purpose.
Edited in LR and thats about it. Difficult to get a steady shot as we were doing about 35 MPH.
part 2 in a series.
on the highway. after bypassing the truck, i wound my window down, stuck my head and neck out and got ready to shoot. the truck honked twice, and i gave 'em a thumbs-up sign once i got my shots.
Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.
