Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
This one was in a hurry on the Vic Uni Pond on this day last year.
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
Utah Railway's RUT312 local crosses Interstate 215 on the road to Salt Lake City with cars for the Salt Lake Garfield & Western Railway and Holly Refining, Co. The final vestige of colorful oak brush adorns the foothills of the imposing Wasatch Range on Oct. 26, 2008.
Get your "boat" here! U-Boat that is! I highly doubt any Mercury is going to pull that Ohio Central train along even as level as the track is here at North Zanesville, Ohio.
Float Homes in Mosquito Creek Marina, North Vancouver
Float homes [...] feature truly waterfront living with ocean or river views at a fraction of the price. Neighbours include herons, sea lions, bald eagles and many other forms of wildlife. While this style of living may not be for everyone, they do come in single family, apartments/condos, custom built or modular, prefabricated options. New models include the usual home amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, heated floors, soaker tubs, on-demand water heaters, and even rooftop decks. They follow stringent building codes, fire safety and environmental standards demanded by local, provincial and federal authorities. (Anne McMullin, Vancouver Courier)
Dr. Bonnie Henry: “Be kind, be calm and be safe”
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!

47th Scottish Transport Extravaganza 8th & 9th July 2023
The Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club will once more hold their 47th Scottish Transport Extravaganza in the magnificent grounds of Glamis Castle over the weekend of 8th & 9th July.
This event is regarded as the premier vintage motoring spectacular in Scotland and is one of the largest of its kind in Britain.
This display will bring together over 1700 vehicles representing a wide array of transport comprising veteran, vintage and classic vehicles and machinery (cars, commercials, military, tractors, steam engines, motor cycles, static engines and exhibits)
A significant part of the display is created by the various car clubs who attend this event. In addition to the vehicles the event attracts over 150 Stands including auto jumble, motor trade, antiques and fundraising stalls.
In the ring to entertain this year we will have Flyin Ryan Motorcycle Stunt Show with their exciting stunt show, which is set to thrill the crowds.
Filling each day will be the usual variety of parades and pipe bands and amusements for adults and children of all ages.
To cater for the multitude of event goers a healthy selection of quality food vendors will be present to provide snacks, refreshments, full meals or simply a cool ice cream.
Holding the Extravaganza in the grounds of Glamis Castle provides a magnificent backdrop to our event and guided tours of the Castle are available to those who wish to participate.
I was watching some stilts on a rainy morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, UT, when this guy motored by.
Out with Sophie on a dog walk and she was mostly great...
Several dozen Mallards and other ducks winter in the Rio Grande Bosque near the Alameda Bridge. Here is one, with all his bright feathers lit up, pedaling in the Albuquerque Drain. The water is low, but very clear, in the drain this time of year.
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.
Amtrak's California Zephyr train No. 6 glides through Mapleton, Utah a mile or two from the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon on Sept. 27, 1987.
Skyline Drive is the path through Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There are great overlooks along the way to take in the landscapes -
Motoring through Thwaite, Yorkshire Dales. Described as, "probably the oldest and toughest regular event for old cars, motorcycles and light commercials certainly in Britain", the Beamish run is approaching it's 50th year and follows some of the routes used by manufacturers to test the same vehicles when originally built.
Unfortunately the event has been cancelled the last two years due to the COVID virus.
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.
Beginning of a long runway for this Double Crested Cormorant in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
