Yea, I posted here because it's just a joke and does not belong in the Airlines/ Willie/ Ect. posting.

Overall, a horrible day for pics at the NHRA qualifying in Phoenix. I took few, and the ones I did take are scraps, due to not having a good position all day.

Old school funny car getting ready for the burnout.



When you are unable to get an entire care due to too many people running around, you make due with what you have.



Force looking grumpy.



Beckman being profound.



Neff being thirsty.



The ultra rare photo of a smiling Kalitta in the wilds of the NHRA jungle. He may just be gassy. I'm not completely sure.



Choke on the nitro.

Fur and Feathers from the Fish & Game's Adobe Mountain Wildlife Center...

Female Bobcat


GHO


Turkey Vulture


Harris Hawk


Owl and Vulture are rehabbing, the Hawk is a permanent educational resident and the bobcat was confiscated from private owners when it was a cub so she won't ever see the wild.

Thanks Bubak.

Chris, hotter than hell out there, wasn't it? Nice shot BTW.

Jay, cool shots also. As part of my efforts volunteering at Southewest Wildlife (www.southwestwildlife.org), I sometimes get called out to Adobe Mountain to pick up some food for our mountain lions at Southwest. Last time out there, I picked up a frozen, dismembered elk. The cats enjoyes elksickles. 

Remind me to share my bobcat release story some time. I'm too busy now to type it out.

Old shot from my old backyard in San Tan Valley.  The sun had set about 15 minutes earlier and the light on the clouds was receding.  I used to love sitting in the yard watching this happen, but on this evening, it was like someone just turned the lights of on the eastern half of the sky.  Lit up and glowing one second, then CLICK, dark the next.

Did some hiking up at AZ Snowbowl this past weekend.  As you can see, my dog likes to have his picture taken...

Wow it been a long time since I've posted here.. But that happens when your camera is taken as evidence in a trespassing conviction.  Anyway, since you've last seen me I've become a Valet and thought I would share a photo of a car we got at a political fundraiser a couple nights ago.



Lamborghini Murciélago with a not at all flashy chrome finish.

Fun fact about the photo: The black pair of legs you see in the reflection belong to the Secret service agent for Senator Kyl.

Evidence?  For the Prosecution or the Defense?

It would appear that the Government seized your image as well...

[Stephen Marshall]

Basically TUSD does NOT like people visiting their old shut down elementary schools without permission. I set of a silent alarm and before I knew it there were 3 cops inside looking for me with guns out and a dog barking at me. I feel like they kept the camera due to procedure. It was "used" by the prosecutor as evidence, for what I do not know. I don't know what they have done with the photos, or even worse, if I got any good shots    Fortunately as a first offense I took a adult responsibility class and they cleared the charges. However I did spend the night in jail.. That sucked.

..And I totally just got the seized my image joke... Nice.
