Hmm, maybe an old Aurora HO slot car set?
The car are General Mills incentive and not slot cars.There isn't enough information for it to be solved, it is nothing in the image. It was shot with a new to me 70-200 F4 just me doing some depth of field work. I got a great deal on it from a photographer it was obviously well cared for or hardly used. The only thing wrong is it has the wrong lens hood. Any idea were to get a used HB-60 for a reasonable price.

I like your capture of that bird's purposeful look. Out of curiosity, I researched it and am guessing it's a White Ibis. If so, I read that they use that long bill to probe for food in shallow water.
Yes I believe it is an American White Ibis but I just looked it up like you. Most often when I see them they are as a group moving down the block foraging in the swales and front lawns, at times I do see a lone bird. In the neighborhood they are quite desensitized to people and allow you to get quite close before they move on.

The White Ibis overnight at Wako and make quite a show when they leave at first light. They take off in three batches. The water is covered with feathers, large and small. One thing though, you never see them in the water like the Glossy Ibis.
They seem to like whatever it is they find on our lawns.

Around here they are most commonly seen feeding in shallow water.

I love a good cat picture!
Thanks! Was going to wait for the light to break over the trees and backlight the cat but figured I'd take the shot because you never know how long the will stay. Sure enough before the lighting got good a duck landed in the yard and scared the cat, so the planned shot didn't happen.

Always get an insurance shot. Last year I had an owl fly up and land on a branch not too far away from me. I went ahead and took a couple shots before trying to move a little closer. Good thing I did, as it flew off as soon as my hand touched the tripod.
Haven't seen one of these in ages!!
