This weekend the HOG (Harley Owners Group) folks had their get together in the Mall.
This one is an Indian Headress. The Harleys are all works of kinetic art. You could shoot all day…
They have a fashion show in the center court which is pretty bizzare. Not intentionally.
It’s a Redding thing…
Insane Clown yard art
We drove by this on our way to show the house next door, southeast of Anderson. Every Realtor’s dream, to have yard art like this in the neighbor’s yard. Needless to say, our client was not thrilled with the house next door. Looks like a really bad horror movie scene.
And of course they felt compelled to put it under cover for protection. Of course.
A basket of Tulips
February is early Spring in Shasta County. We have lots and lots of emerging bulbs.
These showy tulips look wonderful all bunched together. Ironically, Tulip Mania was responsible for an economic bubble and collapse, similar to the housing cycle we are experiencing now. From Wikipedia: “At the peak of tulip mania in February 1637, tulip contracts sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman.” It seems our economic history is filled with bubbles and collapses.
It’s hard to capture an image that accurately displays their deep scarlet loveliness.
Such is the transitory nature of beauty.
Hawk on a limb photo
Took this one yesterday. Only got one shot before it flew off. Still, I like the composition.
I like to shoot birds. With my camera, I mean. Still, my shots are nothing compared to what you can find here:

Birds fighting in air. Really amazing high shutter speed shots. Seeing those, I don’t think the dinosaurs went extinct. I think they just became birds. Click on the image to go to their site:
