I love these small green masked, Green-winged Teals! This drake was just motoring along at the channel at Potter Marsh when I captured him.

This one was in a hurry on the Vic Uni Pond on this day last year.
On its release in March 1961 Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever made". That really is a statement and one many enthusiasts agree with. The E-Type Jaguar was built from 1961 through until 1975 and when launched was able to claim a 150 mph capability. Blurring added in pp.
Union Pacific's Wattis Plateau - Intermountain Power coal train glides through rural Mills, Utah along Chicken Creek with SD60Ms 6142, 6139, and 6144 in charge. The ghost town of Mills is 20 miles west of Nephi and 25 miles east of Lynndyl on the old Provo Subdivision. June 13, 1990
This abandoned gas station in Borrego Springs has become a quintessential Instagram backdrop. I see whole amateur film crews pulling up and getting out to do a shoot. It wasn't quite all that when I took this shot in June, 2018. But maybe with a little creative artwork I can hitch it onto the fame train!
A disinterested horse plods along as an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight rumbles through Bison, Montana, while crossing Marias Pass on the southern border of scenic Glacier National Park on September 7, 1999. Burlington Northern GE C30-7 No. 5581 leads a Santa Fe C40-8W and two BN EMD SD40-2s.
I was watching some stilts on a rainy morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, UT, when this guy motored by.
Motoring in Johnston Strait one September morning in 2018. Returning to Vancouver after a 5 1/2 month solo sailing trip to Alaska. I look back on moments like this with melancholy and calm. With too little wind to sail, the Isuzu engine pushed us along, there was still a balance in the world.
Skyline Drive is the path through Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There are great overlooks along the way to take in the landscapes -
Vietnam took me by surprise. It appeared everyone had the latest Iphone and scooter.
Texting while riding is common place but it's not as precarious as it sounds. The pace on the major streets is never excessive. Everyone appears to move as one mass. People do not seem concerned about beating each other to the next stop. No road rage or flipping people off, even when it gets incredibly congested. I saw no accidents or angry disputes ... very foreign and un-american.
Crossing the street for the first time during rush hour is a leap of faith. One simply starts walking across the street thru the traffic in a deliberate fashion and all the scooters drive around you. It seems like chaos at first but it works. Everyone adjusts to those around them, continuous cooperation in harmony.
