Five Mopars

Five randomly chosen car pics from the recent HPAC car show...just because I like them.

Shelby outfitted Dodge from the late 1980s is more than just paint. This turbo equipped sedan has plenty of quick in it!

Early 1970s Dodge Challenger--nice car.

1960s (or 1970s could be) Plymouth interior is striking in appearance.

Gotta love those 'Cudas--our resident 'Cuda collector brought like 7 of them. This is one of his cleanest.

Earlier the back seat of this Dodge station wagon was featured--here's the whole package.

Mopar Couple

No, not a couple of Mopars, you knucklehead! (Although there were plenty around...)

Just like this shot of a couple walking through the HPAC show last week.

Mama Kitty

My neighbor's cat. We call her Mama, or Mama Kitty--she had one litter of one kitten before being spayed. She's at least 10 years old and is a mostly outdoor cat. For being mostly outside, she is remarkably healthy. She is a sweet, patient and interactive animal, and I enjoy her visits, even if she does leave paw prints on my car hood.

Can't Go Wrong With A Sunset

Love sunsets--I do enjoy sunrises too, but they are the province of those who are truly awake in the early morning. I leave them to the early risers.

Watercolor

When I was young I drew a lot from photographs. Usually, I used colored pencils to add color to my pictures. This is one of the few that survived, mainly because I made off with it. (Parents just have no idea what they throw out!) It is nice that it is one of my favorites. It is unique in that the color is from watercolor paints.

I have to say that this is one of the best drawings I ever did.

1976: High School Hoops

This is one of my favorite photographs from my days photographing sports in high school. I love how you can see all 10 players on the floor, and how the break is developing. This was the year that our boys were playing in away jerseys all year, except in this game the opponent, another blue team, was not reminded to bring their white jerseys. We scratched together enough stuff for the boys to wear for this game.

Easter Sunday Worship

It was almost completely dark except for the cross illuminated in red and red letters: "Three days later..." You can see the hint of light starting as Pastor Shoup and the acolyte start lighting candles. By the time they make their way to the Christ candle, it is brightly lit throughout the sanctuary, including the congregation, bathed in yellow light.

Christ has risen.
