Great shots Merv. I really like the bird shots but the shadow art work is outstanding sir. Dave, your description of what you had roaming around reminds me of where I grew up except you trade the Rattle Snakes for Copper Heads and Water Mocassins.

Today was the annual "West Coast Rolling Thunder" motorcycle run starting at "Skip Fordyce HD" in Riverside to the Riverside National Cemetery. The route went just past my house so had a good chance to get some pictures. It was really emotional to see all the Veterans in the run, riding with pride and honor.

Thanks Gnomey, it was quite a site to see, and it was really loud.

Great shots Merv. I can understand what it's like seeing that many veterans on bikes. Thursday they were going by the shop on I-81 headed towards Washington D.C. by the hundreds. It was truly something to behold.

Cool shots, Merv!

It's good to see the people supporting them, too!

That must have been some sight to see Merve and so many of them. How long did it take for them all to ride by?

I gave up to count the bikes......Nice shots!

Wayne Little · Jun 5, 2010

Yeah, me too....great bunch of shots!

Thanks guys for the comments. They estimated about 5,000 bikes in the run. I believe it took about 45 minutes for them all to pass by. It was really a beautiful sight to behold, there was everything from hogs to scooters

It sounds like they created their own little rush hour.

Had I seen anything mentioned about it happening I would loved to have seen it in person.
It was definitely close enough for me to attend.

A drawing I made of the F4F Flown by, Lt. Cdr. Edward "Butch" O'Hare. This was my first attempt at making a drawing of an aircraft in vector format, hope you enjoy.

Very cool Merv!!!!! How long did it take to do this. Oh, and you may want to send this to Terry(Airframes). He absolutely loves the Wildcat. Excellent work sir.

Thanks Aaron This one took me several hours to do, I'm starting to learn new formats and editing in this program. It takes this old man a while to learn new tricks.
