Photo: A Well-Sorted Old Car - 1970s Datsun 510 Sedan

This old car struck my eye today when I was renewing our license plates.  It's the kind of well-sorted hot rod that I would have loved to own when I was a kid.  I believe it is a 1972 Datsun 510 sedan.  Vintage Datsun advertisements used to claim that "Under Our Sedan body, lurks a sports car."  I believe these rims bring that sports car out into the open!

It may be a work in progress, but it looks very cool so far!  This car made my list of Japanese classics.  

Photo: Strange Art in Sandy Springs - Part 1

The City of Sandy Springs is an Atlanta suburb with a large concentration of yuppies and rich people.  These are precisely the kinds of people who can patronize the arts.  They've erected a few unusual pieces in their city.

Modern Statue near the Library in Sandy Spring, Georgia

This piece at the Sandy Springs Library looks a lot like a radio antenna or oil well.  But, it's actually a sculpture.  In the early evening it caught the sun just right and looked pretty cool.

With all the outsourcing of jobs, it's important for every American to have a plan.  When I'm old and homeless, I'm claiming this gazebo on the Gulf of Mexico. It's mine. I'll be the old bearded guy with a fishing pole. This gazebo was near Steinhatchee, Florida. But, seriously, git. You go find your own gazebo!

What do squirrels do during the day?

From our apartment, I can see what goes on in nearby treetops.  I've discovered that squirrels often nap and rest during the day.  For this photo, the zoom on my digital camera helped.

If you want to see for yourself, you might get a nice pair of Steiner Binoculars.

Seniors Enjoy the View from Southport N.C.

I took this shot of a couple of seniors making the most of their retirement in Southport, North Carolina.  They are soaking in the sun, watching the action on the Cape Fear River, and enjoying the crisp breeze on the day after Thanksgiving.

More Fall Photos - Atlanta

Here is another fall photo! The leaves are falling from the trees here in Atlanta, Georgia. I hope I captured that fall feeling well in this photo of almost bare tree limbs.

Fall Photo: A Fallen Leaf

Fall colors have recently peaked in our part of the country.  We ranged far and wide looking for pretty leaves and colorful fall foliage.  It was a gray day that didn't make for great photos.  But, when we got back home, here's what I found in our parking lot.  A perfect leaf . . .
