Saguaro National Park East Unit a few years ago out hiking. Seen it when I just entered the trail. I had my phone but not my camera that day. I decided to head back to the truck and get my camera back at home. Threw the camera in my wing and rode back out there (a few miles away). The park rangers closed the trail by that time to allow the cat privacy. I was still able to capture some pretty good images from my Goldwing from the side of the road. I’ve lived, hunted and hiked in Az all my life waiting to see a bobcat up in a saguaro. First time in my 60s.

Picture above is a Delta 4 Heavy, loaded and ready to go off of Pad 37 at CCSFS. Delta series rockets are no longer used and Pad 37 has been taken down. The building you see was also the launch pad. They would roll the shelter back prior to launch.

Speaking of Space, enjoy the last shuttle to be flown out of KSC (below).

Zion National Park 2019 on a BMW ADV. As we pulled into the park, this guy greeted us. He was standing above us and the pic was taken by my wife on the back of the bike.

Those are all great pics, thanks for sharing the adventures! Here's a few of mine for your amusement.

Summer day 2 yrs ago, from the side yard & above the Crepe Myrtles at the house in LaGrange, GA. Watching the "chemtrails" from the busiest Airport in the World - Hartsfield Jackson - ATL, about 55 miles NE from the house.

Mt. Hood, Oregon 2024 We hit 117 degrees that day down in Madras, but up in the hills, it was only in the mid 90's!

At anchor ("on the hook"), 2 sunsets, on a round trip Bareboat Charter sailing adventure from Anacortes, WA up to Desolation Sound in B.C., People's Republic of Canadia - 2024
On that trip, I was the Captain, wife the Navigator. While I sometimes traded off the helm with our friends, one afternoon I was at the helm because we were being slowly passed, as we were even more slowly travelling South, by a large pod of about 25 Humpbacks between 75-300 yrds from us, when a full grown Humpback completely breached about 75 yrds from the boat, off our portside, stern quarter, & I just happened to be looking in that exact direction. It was one of the most amazing spectacles I had ever laid eyes on..... but had no camera at hand! However, seeing it with my own eyes, reminded me of some of the great master's paintings & sculptures I have seen, close up, that pictures could never do justice to, which was some small consolation. ;)
All pics from my own, very untrained hand, on a new FUJI XT-4, using manual settings, with zero special effects.
