I couldn't resist shooting this old geezer with its red picking up the old barn and that missing huge fender.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Since on and off!
Using up the rest of the roll...

Fender's blue butterfly is an endangered species. I took this photo at Baskett Slough NWR, where the largest known remaining population is.,
Finally caught up to a species I've been looking for for a few years.
Once thought to be extinct, the Fender’s blue butterfly was known only from collections made between 1929 and 1937, until it was rediscovered in 1989 by Paul Hammond. Fender’s blue is a butterfly that formerly thrived in the prairies of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, but during the past 140 years an estimated 99 percent of this native prairie has been turned into farmland or otherwise developed.
Habitat loss from agriculture and urban development poses the greatest threat to the Fender’s blue. Another major threat to the butterfly is the invasion of exotic plants. Invasive species, such as Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom, have been outcompeting and displacing the Kincaid’s lupine and other native wildflowers in upland prairies where the butterflies live. -- XERCES Society for Invertebrate Conservation
