This Porsche 911 was parked out in front of Cafe Giuseppe this morning with a terrier waiting expectantly in the front seat for its owner. The chopper was parked in front of a really ugly car, so I removed the car.
Motorcycles
As this motorcycle passed me while I was doing 60 mph on the way home this afternoon, I just held the camera against the side window and pressed the shutter when I saw the front tire in my peripheral vision. I guess he noticed my camera, because he gave me a peace sign that luckily was in the frame.
This was really a Garfield Monday — between dealing with dead computers, staff panics, kernel panics, intermittent mice and funky variables, I think Bruce and I managed to get a little bit of work done. I drive by the window in the last photo almost daily, and never really paid much attention to it, until tonight when I noticed it looked like an aquarium.
Our new neighbors pointed out the the “Never” and “Loving” on the stop sign at the post office was the only graffiti they had seen in Corrales, and it was positive. It’s been there for months so either the Village or the PO can’t decide whose responsibility it is to remove it or since it’s not offensive there is no reason to remove it. I had ignored it all this time, but tonight I thought it was appropriate to start off the week of Valentine’s Day. I also noticed that people are putting up “Valentine’s lights” in the fashion of Christmas lights in Corrales. Out of the lights I noticed on my way home tonight, the bicycle with flowers was the most interesting.
A silver chopper was parked in front of Cafe Giuseppe this afternoon, but it was blocked by a planter and a truck, so I only got a portion of it. I would of had to stand out in the middle of the street to get the whole of it, but I was loaded down with stuff and had deadlines that precluded risking getting ran over by a bus for another view of a chopper.
The smoke from the latest controlled burn has just about put me down for the count — I really have cold symptoms from it. The lovely sisters work at Lindy’s Diner downtown. They were gracious enough to pose with the coke pump in the diner. The turquoise GMC pickup is a really well restored 60’s model and the Boulevard C50 T is a modern classic in turquoise as well.
Remember the Marlboro Man? He traded in his horse for a Harley. I got a couple of new flash units today, and was messing around with photographing the sliver moon and flashing the trees in front of it. The trees were about 75 feet from the camera so the flash barely lighted them, but it was enough. I think I got the last web of the season in the third photo.
