Cruising in my car

I had no idea what make this car was when it drove past, but Google Images says it’s probably a Cadillac of some sort from the 1960s. It looked beautiful, whatever it was, and the guy driving knew it too.

Bored of Ducks

As they say, “When you’re bored of ducks, you’re bored of life.” I hope he had an exciting evening when he finished work!

Music on the street

Some people love the roller coaster and raise their arms for that extra thrill, while others hold on with grim determination, hoping the ride will end soon. For others still, it’s just another ride on a vehicle they’re well-used to, their jaded expressions contrasting with the joy and terror of other riders.

A lizard in the sun

While out for a hike, we came across a few lizards, and one was lazy enough to lie still for a few seconds while I took some photos of him.
