The second letter of the alphabet is the prompt this week for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. The consonant 'B' offers many eclectic choices of photo to post about...
Here is the famed Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. My brother Chris, a resident of the Beehive State, captured this while on his way to Nevada. The annual Speed Week will be held in August. In 1970, a land speed record run here was 630 mph / 1015 kmH - the wide flat surface is made for speed!

ReplyDeleteYour Bluejay is as pretty as they get, really pretty. We don't have them here so far south. The 50's were good year for Buicks. My cousin and his dad had them. Nice B's this morning, thanks, Ralph.

You've posted some really nice photos, Ralph! As much as I like that beautiful bird, I really love the old pictures. The one of the family at the beach is my favorite. Enjoy your weekend.

Toothy chrome is the perfect description for those Buicks. Beautiful family. Love the bluejay. Happy Saturday!
