Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

How about a new picture of a not-so-great 51 year old picture? Discovered this old pic of my '75 Blazer the other day. '75 was the last year the whole top was removable. I bought a full top that was wrecked in the back, chopped it off, made a rear window and had an upholstery shop make a cover for the bed. Kind of a short-short bed pickup

barn kittens Mrs. Bee and our daughter rescued, they were in danger so I conceded to bringing them home for proper care and feeding. we have a couple of spare rooms so setup was easy. two spoken for already and they finally broke me down to keep one here if 90lb Fritz can get along. really need farm cat(s) to help with mice control but not sure any will make it back there.

Went down to the inconvenience store yesterday to grab some milk. Come out and this 1984 DeLorean was parked next to my car. Haven't seen one of these in a long time. Was in very nice condition, can't imagine getting parts is all that easy these days.

Our old critter bridge has about rotted through, so had a friend help me cut and wrangle this 27 foot log over a 20 foot span of creek. The tractor is not on site as I'm still using it to get the grounds at our new old house under control. We were somehow able to pull this off with ATVs, come-alongs, winches, etc.

Anyway, got this gem of a parent barred owl feeding it's juvenile. Juvenile owls grow to full size quickly and will still have the downy feathers for a bit, as I've learned.

This one is zoomed in so you can see the action a bit better:

A pair of Great Spangled Fritillaries on milkweed at a patch growing on the sewer right of way just north of our creek.

Missing my Orange Tractor in Vermont, dozing with its chains and loader skids on, waiting for December.

It's planting time where I live in Jeju Island off the South coast of South Korea. I've seen some BIG tractors with humungeous RotoTillers in the back and loaders on the front. They make quick work of a few local fields. Driving along some small old roads (they can be hundreds to thousands of years old) I saw this tractor resting by the side of the road:

Spent the weekend tent camping at my property with my grandson. Great weather and good times!

Caught this young buck early Sunday morning with some interesting lighting. A bit of a mist hanging low in the air. Made for a cool picture. Later in the day caught this Great Spangled Fritillary on a late season Wild Bergamot blossom.

Driving a dirt road across the Nevada desert yesterday I saw a blinding light way off in the distance. Took me a second to realize what I was seeing. This is the Crescent Dunes Solar project near Tonopah, Nevada. The town of Tonopah is nestled at the base of the mountain on the horizon at the far left. The Crescent Dunes project uses a huge field of mirrors that concentrate sunlight on that 656 foot tall column. That column contains molten salt, heated to extreme temperatures by all the concentrated light. That hot molten salt is then used to create steam to run steam turbines to generate electricity. Telephoto shot from 20 miles away - not a very sharp photo because of the distortion of heat waves rising off the desert.
