Pat's #Tucson

In 2014 I stayed at the now demolished Wyndham Garden Inn just west of EWR. My room had essentially a head on view of planes landing on runway 29. I think there is a United 777 coming in in the distance in this photo. #avgeek

Thinking of the Spirit Airlines workers who are now navigating the search for new employment.

The 100th anniversary celebrations of #Route66 kickoff this week. My wife's greatgrandfather ran a service station, the Double Circle Garage, not far from this busy intersection on the highway as it passes through Flagstaff, AZ. (photo from April 11, 2015) #d3300

Yesterday's theme was red Corvettes. Today's ... orange cats.

What percentage of red Corvettes have a vanity license plate? I'm guessing at least 90%. Three I've seen near Speedway and Swan in the last few weeks all do.

Neighborhood cat lounging around. #caturday.

I wanted to capture a front-on view at eye level. Surprisingly, this thresher shark made a sharp turn and swam at me, passing right over my head. I could have touched it. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #sharks #eastcoastkin #photography
