UFOs


Not really UFOs. They are the light standards on the Highway Of Heros (Hwy. 401). I took the photo in the early morning mist.

ABC Wednesday Letter "X" - Railway Crossing


This has to be the most common "X" in North America. It can be found at all level railway crossings. Over my career as a bus driver I had to stop my bus at everyone before crossing. If clear I was allowed to proceed.
What else does X stand for? Find out at ABC Wednesday

King Of The Road


This guy and gal were supplying entertainment to the motorist. I was out for my exercise when I notice, up ahead traffic was coming to a complete stop. It took me about 4 minutes to walk up to the disturbance of public order. These two were walking back and forth on the road. Normally they will fly off or pickup speed crossing the road. Today they were playing King Of The Road. They got to one side then turned around and went back. It was very comical watching them.

Bird Eat Bird


When I filled the bird feeders I noticed every once in awhile, patches of feathers scattered on the snow. I used think it was the fault of the local cats that roamed the neighbourhood. Then one day I spotted this guy having a meal.

First Snow Storm 2009


The other day I viewed photowannabe photos on the unusual and unique snow fall in the Sacramento Valley. I decided when the first snow fall came to my neighbourhood that I would also take some photos. I did not have to wait long. This one here was taken 4:20 am and I wasn't even brave enough to step outside. I stuck my camera out the window and took 6 photos with this one being the one most appealing to me.

The Sparkling Boat


There was an interesting display of water reflecting on the side of this boat. The photo does not capture motion but the sparkles were shining with brilliant points of light like stars and giving a great dance performance.
