Your Photo of the Week

[Tim Mayo]

It isn't what I wanted it to be, but it is the best one for me this week. It rained all morning on this day and the sun wasn't in the ideal spot. But, i got out there and found my spot, now I just need to go back when the light is right.

That looks like a lovely location for a hike. Great shot too!

Cyprinous Carpio ,probably a true leney mirror carp strain also ,and not seen many hooks.Super pleased to catch this carp breeching it had obviously been digging around in the mud for grubs and minerals that seems to be par for the course pre spawning ,although may does seem a little late but water temps dictate the need for spawning

I bet you don't miss the humidity! I tried taking pictures of some flowers right before this, only to find out later the lens had fogged up

Week 24. This Male Eider should not actually be where he is, but has got stuck at our local beach because he is in eclipse plumage and can't fly. He's been around for 3 weeks or so. It's taken a while to find him, but the other day he waddled up the beach to say hello. He should be in Yorkshire at least.

Is that a 1956 T-Bird Kev? I was thinking they didn't have "Portholes" in the removable Hardtop until '57 but the taillight housings don't appear to be a '57. Do you have a shot from the rear or any information about this vehicle?

No info, there was no one around, but I have some more shots. I'll put them up shortly.

Well Kev, it is a '56. I would have lost money on that one. Here is more than you ever wanted to know about T-Birds (Thunderbirds). Now if this is not enough for you, take a look at Introducing the 1956 Ford Thunderbird. I know a lot of people that admired the early Thunderbirds, and that includes me and even my Wife who is not a car Buff. The closest I ever came to owning one was this '57 Ford that I bought shortly after getting out of the Army in December, 1963. Unfortunately, it was a Piece O'Crap!

Cheers. More photos in my new post. They are stunning cars and you never ever see one modified.

I would generally agree but, Never say never. Four pictures of this bird.
