Thanks, Gary! Everything is blooming, now. Except, the poppies... slow to bloom for some reason.

Just found out the car is a 1932 Auburn. This car was custom-built to race in the Indianapolis 500, but apparently it crashed in practice. A man from upstate New York state found it junked out, repaired it, put a Buick straight eight engine in it, and raced it on small-town fairground dirt tracks in the 1950s and ’60s. Years later the car was found in a barn near Watkins Glen, New York, and was meticulously restored to its current condition. It’s a beauty!

Just wanted to pop in for a second. Been super busy at home, still have only 1/2 of the Fiji trip dealt with at this point, and...
Some of the recent photos have been great, across the board. Nice job everyone!

I'm anxious to see your Fiji Photos, Gary.
An outing last night in down town Denver. Temps were in the high sixties while I wandered for hours. A few photos from that event…
Denver’s “Olde Gas and Light” Building.
Denver’s Stout Street showing the Light Rail and Performing Arts Center.
The “Olde AT&T” building’s entrance with a Gothic revival style mural inside its atrium.

I am so excited about my hibiscus, the one I brought from my mother's house. It usually only has one bloom at a time and not many flowers at one time. But since I cut it back, it now has had five ready to bloom. One bloomed a couple of days ago, another yesterday, and overnight two more have come out at once. They are doubles so really pretty. I always interpret the blooms as Mother saying hello. Maybe my dad got into it this time, too. Here's a pic (not very good) along with another one of begonias blooming where I didn't think there would be any after they died off.

Gary, I love those night shots with the taillights. When I was in Paris in the 60s I took similar shots on slides with my Argus C3 camera. Some of my favorites. I really should get them converted to digital; I would imagine that can be done.
