Mexican Beetle

It is hard to take a bad photo of an original Volkswagen Beetle.  They have at least as much character as any other car out there.  I am probably influenced because I grew up in the era of  Herbie the Love Bug.  In fact one of my childhood memories is of actually seeing a bug painted in Herbie colors on the way home from seeing “Herbie Rides Again” in the theater in about 1975.  Now I’m just babbling…

After the Fire

After spending a few days at Yellowstone National Park the kids were getting geysered (sp?) out so I set off on a whirlwind tour of the Norris Geyser Basin by myself.  On my hike to the basin I passed through this area burnt by the fire.  It was quite eerie walking through it but the sky was incredibly blue  which made it a great day for pictures.
