Super captures jo!
The 3rd one in particular is just dead on.
I've never thought about carrying my camera to the auto shop before.....you stud :)
Of course there isn't any vegetation for hundreds of yards where I go either. :cry:

Great catch Jo, lovely. That would have defintely offset the pain of paying for the service!

Okay, now you are just showing off! Just kidding, these are perfect shots. I can't wait until the Ruby Throats return to my area.

Great shots Jo. Missed you again I see, on the weekend. I went to Queen Elizabeth park and it looks like you we're at Richmond Natire Park?

LOL :D Thanks for the nice comments Steve. The neighborhood around my dealership is quite nice, there is a small strip mall and some good restaurants :)

Thanks Lloyd. Actually the cost of service is still quite painful :)
