Here is an image I originally posted on June 6th 2010. A majestic Harris Hawk, Parabuteo unicinctus, seen at the Salthaven Wildlife Rehab and Educaion display at Fleetwood County Cruise-In, June 5, 2010. The Harris Hawk is native to the southwestern United States and south to central South America. It is famous for its remarkable behavior of hunting cooperatively – most raptors are solitary hunters. Salthaven in Mt. Bridges, Ontario does wonderful work saving injured wildlife. Their website is http://www.salthaven.org.

Okay, here's a car I would like to drive! Porsche made the 356 between 1948 and 1965. Known for its excellent handling, aerodynamics and build quality, this two-door, rear-engine coupe was the company's first production automobile. This little red speedster is from the mid 1950s.

Known for quality, beauty and creativity, glass and jewellery designer René Lalique (1860-1945) created this stunning crystal eagle's head hood ornament in the late 1920s. I photographed it on a 1930 Cord L-29 Phaeton Sedan at the recent Fleetwood Country Cruize-in fundraising event.

Chrome Reflection

Went to a huge car show yesterday - an annual fundraising event - and took many shots of beautiful old cars. I will feature them in the coming weeks. This abstract image however is likely not what one would expect as a "car show" photo. It is trees reflecting in the large chrome bumper of a 1958 Oldsmobile!

Red Fins

Red tail fins and dual bullet tail lights on a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Seville makes it a unique and highly sought after vehicle. Designed by Harley Earl to resemble the wings of a WWII fighter plane this car design epitomized the 1950s.
