This humback headed straight towards our boat before rolling and diving at the last second. Gold Coast, Australia
Saw this on my way to work. Co-worker saw it and said it was a meteor burning up. The zig zags are the high altitude winds blowing the trail.
This is a juvenile red-tailed hawk, hunting from a tree alongside of Highway 101. I had help from the flicker “bird identification group” with this one. Scroll right for another picture that shows the tail which is definitely white. But I was told by someone who knows a lot more about this than I do “The tails don't get red until they are fully mature, which this bird is not.” I have seen this bird many times driving down Silver Creek Valley Road getting on 101. This picture and the one to the right were taken while I was waiting in line at the Starbuck’s drive thru seeking a cup of normalcy in the Time of Covid-19.
This is Palm Springs Gay Pride week-end. I went on a photo drive to see what I might see...and I took photos of some of them! Happy Pride, Friends!
This is the snow left by the plows during the winter. It looks like dirt, but that is just flying dust that stuck to the snow. My wife patiently waits in the car while I take this shot of the "attraction."

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide.
No escape from reality.
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see.

This is a photograph from the finish of the 2nd Annual Kilcock Athletic Club 10 Mile Road Race which was held in the town of Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Sunday 18th August 2019 at 10:10. The race is promoted by the St. Coca's AC club and this is a very successful second installment of the race. With over 600 participants there is a great deal of work and organisation required to stage a long distance race in the area between the Kilcock, Maynooth and Clane catchment areas. St. Coca's AC have established a fine reputation from their annual 5KM road race held every June. They are also well known for the lavish and plentiful after-race refreshment spreads they provide!
The race has grown and expanded on its first installment where there were 500 finishers. This year seen just over 600 finishers of the race.
The weather was a mixed affair. Temperatures were warm and pleasant but there was a very strong westerly breeze. This has both a headwind and tailwind effect in the race, most notably making the Canal section at the end a little more difficult. There was a light shower of rain during the race.
The race starts near Scoil Ui Riada on the Kilcock to Clane road. The route heads south-easterly along the first 1.5 miles of the Kilcock AC 5KM road race route. The route turns right here at Laragh and heads towards the townlands of Clonfirth, Baltracey and Balraheen. The half way point is at the well known Ladychapel Church crossroads between the L1010 and the Maynooth-Rathcoffey R408 road. Proceeding northwards toward Maynooth the race takes a left at the Crinstown Cross Roads to mark the turn back westerly towards Kilcock. Just after mile 7 the race crosses the M4/M6 Kilcock/Maynooth motorway bypass. This crossing and the next canal bridge are the only real 'hills' on the course. The last two miles turn westward toward Kilcock along the Royal Canal Greenway. The race enters the Greenway at Jackson's Bridge and proceeds along the bank of the Canal under Bailey's Bridge, across Chamber's Bridge and finishing at The Harbour in Kilcock opposite Lidl and the former Dermot Kelly's Garage. Water stations are provided at mile 3 and mile 6. Overall, the route is fast, fair and very suitable to fast road racing and competitive times.

One of the interesting features of the race is the start time of 10:10 in the morning. The significance of the 10s are as follows: it is a 10 mile race, it is 10 weeks exactly from the Dublin City Marathon in October 2019, and the course is a great opportunity for runners of all abilities to gain that illusive PB or season best.

This little house looked awesome in it's location near Torrin on the Isle of Skye, the blue outline around the brilliant white gave it the "pow" factor.
As you drove past it just grabbed your attention, so after stopping a short distance along the road I took a walk back along the country road to get a shot of the place to show everyone else.
This was a grain bin I found while driving the back roads in Iowa. I added the lightning which I took a few years ago.
