Here's the last group pic of the season. Some notes on the finds...
The 2002-04 Impreza wagon (top row) is uncommon for me. I found two when they were fairly new, and I think this is only my third good one. It needs one clip repaired and paint work though. In the next row, the Golf IV (New Beetle in other markets, I think) is also uncommon. The Fiat 500 has all good clips, which is becoming rare on those...ours are brittle PC/ABS, unlike the Euro version.
The 13" uni (fake Pontiac) is in new condition, though it has no ring. I took it because I rarely find anything 13" in mint condition anymore. The last new car in the US with 13" wheels was the 2005 Hyundai Accent, and most of the parts stores don't carry 13" unis now.
To the right of the uni is a 1990 Dodge Spirit...not a good item for resale, but uncommon for me, so I took it. And below the uni is a 1994-95 Ford Taurus with all good clips but no ring. That one is becoming uncommon, and I know I have a correct ring for it.
Left of the Taurus is a 1996 Neon. That one has some issues and may be a clip donor to fix a couple nicer ones that I've had for years. Far right of that row, the 14-spoke Camry XLE has all good clips, which never happens on those.
In the front, the Mercedes W123 is pretty nice and just needs one clip. The Buick dog dish is rare, and I don't think I've had one before. I do have the same style with an Oldsmobile emblem. The plain one above it is a Chevy, which is more common. Strangely, I found those within about 100 feet of each other, both half buried.
The gray 8-lug Ram is a new 2019 model, for a base work truck with steel wheels. I found the chrome version earlier this season. Two 2019 Civics are both complete...one is scratched and the other looks pretty nice. Finally, the 5-hole center cap is for a late-model Chevy Caprice, which was a rebranded RWD Holden. Those were only sold here as police and government cars, and this cap was used on a black steel wheel for the police version. I've never had one before...it's held on with 3 screws, and must have been making a lot of noise before it finally fell off. hubcapsozmk2 Is there a version of this cap for Holden police cars?
So, hopefully we're all done with the virus stuff by the time next season starts. I'm also hoping for some winter weather next season. This winter was warm and rainy in my area, which means not much pothole activity. I still did pretty well searching, but I had to work hard and drive long distances for these finds. As usual, I'll hold my off-season finds for a single pic in the fall, but I'll still be checking here sometimes. Good luck with everyone's searching!

Tears water the place I first remember You
In a dream of Paradise and flowers
Green flows into me from every direction
Every breath inward feels more and more
Exquisite Joy flourishing
Where once sorrow scorched the earth
A new Garden grows
You wait patiently on the horizon
While my heart dances in all directions
I wave to You
Crying sweet tears of Ecstasy
I am nothing without this place
Which nourishes my very Soul
It sings:
That Thou Art
That Thou Art
That Thou Art

Happy shopping!
Monday, 18 July 2022: our temperature is 15°C (windchill 14°C) just after 11:00 am. Sunrise was at 5:42 am, and sunset is at 9:41 pm. Thank goodness, the heatwave has broken and today is cooler with rain! Back to warm weather tomorrow.
I passed this handsome fellow when I was driving along a back road that I don't think I had ever driven before. Beautiful, relaxing scenery while enjoying, and being very thankful for, my car's air-conditioning. Will be SO glad when this heat wave comes to an end!
Three days ago, on 14 July 2022, I found a Grizzly Bear family when there was no one else around, and pulled over way, way down the road. All the cars afterwards overtook me and some were maybe 3-6 feet away from the bears. I did eventually pull forward a little bit, but people still passed me and went and parked in front of me, sometimes blocking my view. All about getting their close photos and not giving wildlife their space.
I had just been exploring one of my several favourite places in Kananaskis. Once back at my car, I took a few bites of a sandwich and happened to glance way down the road. Looked like there were Bighorn Sheep, but when I zoomed in on my camera to check, I discovered that it was a family of Grizzly Bears. Not wanting to invade their space, I took what photos I could from a great distance, before pulling forward a little. Not the best photos, though one of two of the sub-adults worked out OK. So relieved that I had not encountered them on my short walk!!!
The main reason for my trip was simply to get out of my unbearably hot home! I had made a few drives closer to home recently, for the same reason. This time, I needed a change.
This time, I went to the mountains, hoping that I might see a few different things. Calling in at Highwood House, I was lucky to see a Hummingbird quickly visit the feeders. First time, it left too fast, but I managed a photo or two the second visit.
Partly because I left home much later than I had hoped, I didn't drive as far as I might have otherwise done. There are a few mountain peaks and ranges that I always love to see along the highway and I always stop to take a few shots.
On the way back to the city, I called in at my 'usual' area closer to home, but I think most of the birds must have been sheltering from the hot sun. So many birds during this heat wave have their beaks open because of the heat. A pair of Mountain Bluebirds made my decision worthwhile.
The channel country, out by the Big Red sand dune, changes dramatically when rain arrives, or when run-off from distant storms makes its way to Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre in the centre of the continent. Wildflowers proliferate and the growth of grasses show why the region supports some of the best beef cattle in the country.
Good advice from Benni Girl. She takes care of the bad stuff and never looks back. Examples:
Booster shot at the vet? Give him a kiss and get a cookie. Bad dog growls in your face? Bounce backwards and walk on by. Mom sick so no morning walk? Snuggle, watch t.v. and get lots of extra patting.
(Not sick now, sorry to mislead you.)
Watch Benni and learn!
This photograph was taken on a beautiful March evening, when the weather was perfect for a drink outside. This was a pub in El Dorado Hills, CA, where two people were enjoying the evening over 2 glasses of whiskey close to the fire, next to a small lake. I hope I could capture the warmth of the evening in this glass of drink.
When the running stops, life finds a way to move on. This worn-out trail shoe has found an unusual second life as a planter for a resilient cactus. Resting on a rusty fence rail in the evening light, this shot poetically captures nature reclaiming man-made objects. It represents a beautiful mix of grit and growth, showcasing how the outdoors eventually takes everything back, turning a piece of sports gear into a unique garden.
Ellie and Hazel are ecstatic when Briggs drops in. I can hear their excitement as I pull up in the car.

52 Weeks of Dogs - Week 2
i remember when i first started taking pictures i was also really interested in post processing too. there always seemed to be those people who though it was "cheating" to post process. that makes absolutely no sense to me. post processing in itself is an art. you cant just hit a button and make your picture look like this. you have to have an idea of the mood and tones you want and have an idea of how that actually looks and find a way go mimic it.
Back in early 1977. I was a junior in high school.

Oh when are we going to swim again?
Last couple of weeks it has been raining and we are busy with guests, working in the vineyard and maintaining a holiday house from other Dutchies, so there has been no time for swimming and playing at the river. We'll try asap, Pr1mo, we'll try.
Construction work continues on the hull of the cargo ship ‘Northbank’ at the shipyard of William Doxford & Sons, Sunderland, 27 September 1956 (TWAM ref. DS.DOX/4/PH/1/819/1/4)
This album documents the construction of the cargo ship ‘Northbank’ by the famous shipbuilding firm William Doxford & Sons at its Pallion yard, Sunderland. Most of these images are progress photographs, taken a week apart between September 1956 and January 1957 from approximately the same spot. They give a fascinating insight into how the vessel was built.

What do you think happens when you take a normal MB popemobile, remove the hood, throw out its engine, dashboard, all the guts.. even all the seats except for the pope seat... And then put in there 2 V6 engines from some kind of truck. Let me tell you - you get Popemobile dragster - or, as I like to call it - Pogster. BTW - the new dashboard is right in front of the pope chair and dragracer is sitting in it. This MOC was dedicated to LUGNuts 57th monthly challenge - From Mild to Wild!
