John, what's the story with the Elk?

 

Pat

 

It's a huge sculpture on top of a mountain outside of Del Norte Colorado. Looks real from a distance.

Monsoons have arrived in the southwest and the desert is turning green. These pics are from near the Mexican border south of Tucson at about 5k feet elevation.

I am working a lot of nights on Alamo Plaza now, so I thought I would bring my camera to help pass the time. The last two are from when I got home and the dogs were all barking into a bush/tree at about 11pm.

Just returned from three weeks in the USA, with 12 days of riding.

 

Had dinner at the famous Cowboy Dinner Tree in "Outback" Silver Lake, Oregon.

You start with salad, and then the soup and rolls. This is just for two, remember!

You have a choice of steak or chicken -- that's it. We had the steak.

Then came dessert.

 

And we still had to ride for another 90 minutes after eating that!!

 

(Confession: No, I couldn't manage the whole thing. This was my best effort.)

Nice shot Todd. I must've flew right past that cause we were on Silver Creek and Marshall Pass last week, missed it. Last year I accidently got us on the Colorado Trail there, won't make that mistake again, two up anyway.

Looks easy here, but got scary pretty quickly.

That is about the coolest Larry!!! I loved taking Jamie back to Michigan a few years ago, knocking on the doors of the old housing and having the current owners let us in so I could show Jamie where I grew up.

Left Coast Sunset. Got there too late and lost most of the light. Had to push the raw conversion pretty hard, but I like the way it came out.

The Eyre Highway, crossing the Nullarbor Plain in Australia ... not a lot to distract a rider out there ... although there IS a vehicle in front of me. :grin:

So you can understand how excited you get when you come to 'civilisation' [sic]. This is Nullarbor Roadhouse. Yes, that is a whale out the front of it. Why? Because the southern coastline of Australia is just off to the left of the photo, and whales make an annual migration along the coast.

This day was a real trial on the bike; maximum shade temperature was 42C/107.6F and there was a searing head/crosswind the entire day. Road temperature, in the sun, as we later found out, hit 55C ... over 130F.

 

Yep, I'm working on a report.

The Ojai Rapture Center cared for over 1200 birds this year. Around 750 of that number were release back into the wild. They held an open house a few weeks ago. Excellent place to take pictures. Due to injuries or human imprinting these birds will never be released
