1960 DiDia 150 (Automobile)

The hand-built DiDia cost Andy DiDia over $150,000 to build. Today, it would approach $1.5 million. This car was owned by Bobby Darin and donated by him to the Museum of Transportation in 1970.

Red Rose

Visiting Harry P Leu Gardens in Orlando, Florida we went to the”Rose Garden” to capture images of the roses. This is an image of the sixth rose that I found very interesting and thought that I would share this image with you.

Red and Yellow Rose

Yesterday we visited Harry P Leu Gardens in the Orlando, Florida area to capture images with Arnold Dubin, one of our photography friends. He told us that we needed to go by the Rose Gardens to see what might be blooming. We thought, “It is almost July, temperatures have been in the 90 degrees range for weeks so the roses are bound to be at the end of life if blooming at all.”  Much to our surprise there were hundreds of rose blooms in the garden, showing off their beautiful colors. This is one of the many roses that we saw, hope you enjoy it.

Woodpecker Learning from Adult

An immature male Pileated Woodpecker watching while a mature male drills for food. This pair of woodpeckers showed up at our Tomoka State Park campsite in the late afternoon. Shortly after the image was captured the mature woodpecker fed the immature woodpecker. Unfortunately I did not capture a good image of the feeding.
