Allard J2 1950-1952

Allard Motor Company Limited was a London-based low-volume car manufacturer founded in 1945. Car manufacture almost ceased within a decade. It produced approximately 1900 cars before it became insolvent and ceased trading in 1958. During those years it was a very accomplished racer. Allards featured large American V8 engines in a light British chassis and body, giving a high power-to-weight ratio and foreshadowing the Sunbeam Tiger and AC Cobra of the early 1960s. Cobra designer Carroll Shelby and Chevrolet Corvette chief engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov both drove Allards in the early 1950s.[3]

Eating is the easy part

Osprey in Everglades National Park enjoying its catch. Their diet is almost exclusively fish but will eat small mammals if they need to. Note the size and needle sharpness of the talons. They glide high looking for a potential prey then begin circling closer to the water then their wings fold back, drop fast and hit, sometimes submerge then try to fly but pause a foot two above the water and shake their wings and body to get rid of the heavy water before gaining altitude where the fly around with the wiggling slippery fish until it dies before heading to a branch. Sometimes after a meal they'll glide across the water dragging their talons to wash themselves. It is a show I never get tired of.

Blue Angels

I took this at the Boca Chica Naval Air Station in Key West on Armed Forces Day. It is tradition that when they come to Key West a time of arrival is announced. Duval is the main street running 1.25 miles connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. When they arrive, traffic stops and people pour into the street as the Blues fly very very low and slow, trailing red and blue smoke right down the middle of Duval on their way to the Naval Air Station. It gives me goosebumps to watch.

The Pierhead navigation light was built in 1882, and the station was built with a tower light in 1899, renovated in 1903, and automated in 1972. The lower level breakwall is the only section of the grounds that are open to the public.

Brown Pelicans

A large grayish-brown bird with a distinct pouched bill. During breeding season, the plumage turns bright yellow on the head and white on the neck, which fades to dull yellow and brown during non-breeding. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. Found year round in Florida, they can reach a 7 foot (213.4 centimeters) wingspan.

Canyonlands National Park Utah

The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as "the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere. Wikipedia

At 11,300 feet in elevation, the structure, built in 1934 has served as a recreational overlook and an occasional fire lookout. It features panoramic views across state lines, from Utah’s wilderness, to Arizona’s Mount Trumbull and Navajo Mountain and Nevada’s Wheeler and Highland peaks.

It is a derelict bridge in the Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. It was originally part of the Overseas Railway, but the state of Florida purchased it from the Florida East Coast Railway after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it for automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. A replacement Bahia Honda Bridge, off to the right was opened in 1972.

Canyonlands National Park

Canyonlands National Park is in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. The park preserves a colorful landscape eroded into numerous canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 12, 1964. The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau.

Cormorant

Cormorants mainly eat fish, but will also feed on amphibians and crustaceans. Using its feet for propulsion, cormorants can dive up to 25 ft. and remain underwater for 30 to 70 seconds while searching for food. Unlike many other diving birds, their feathers are not completely waterproof. Cormorants spend long periods of time with their wings outstretched to dry after diving for food. Wikipedia

While flying along you have a spectacular view of the countryside while directly in front of you is a placard which says No Dancing.
