A Storm is Brewing!

As I post this torrential rain and high winds are going on. Some say we may have gusts of 80+ mph! So here it goes if the power stays on images from this past week.

New Wheels for the Lens!

Since 1987 I've driven a Dodge Dakota, three of them. I've have great luck with all of them and considered my self a loyal Dodge owner. The last one I bought was in 2004  and even though I only had driven it 63k miles she was starting to show her age. Starting two years ago the front end gave me troubles and the repair bills were starting to add up. I would have loved to get another Dakota but Dodge abandoned me and discontinued the model in 2011. So for the first time ever I now drive a Ford. What got my interest was the aluminum body, in this area salt is not too friendly with steel. Now I can get off the beaten path with confidence looking for that special shot.
