Bumps + Bike + Big Girl = Plenty of Bounce for the Ounce !
After church I headed south on 171 followed that to Hwy 84. The high water has done some damage to the roads. Plenty of bump and dips makes for fun riding.
Went to church this morning rode my bike. Over the past few months I have gone to several different churches. Most interesting to see the reception I get. Some are biker friendly, but a few were not. At least we get the "judging" part out of the way and can move past that. This is me at my worst.... if you can't take that you don't get me at my best. All of the churches I have gone to, even the ones that have Biker Ministries.... there has not been one bike in the parking lot, nor has anyone approached me about their bike ministry.
I was going to take some photos, but just couldn't stop.... didn't want to... sorry. Oh and the best was on my way home going over the Shrpt/Barksdale bridge.... a black Ford truck in front of me had deer horns attached each side of the cab at the top of the doors ! I am serious.... it was the stupidest thing I have seen yet in the south. -
Vets for Vets
Oh wow..... Nov 7th this day was the best sat I've had that week. :) There was this great turn out of my friends. It was so good to see everyone all in one place, and I got to collect many hugs (if I missed getting your hug, catch you next time) Many of you I sent a text msg to let you know that I enjoyed seeing you there and it is such a great cause. I appreciate being in America so much. This is my country and it is my home.
A vendor there was selling patches and I got a few more "choice" patches to add to my vest. My vest is a fun project a canvas to "say-what-I-think" not that I don't do that anyhow. But I try to choose my battles carefully. When I lived in Canada I worked as a paramedic for the ambulance, First aid Attendant for a Lumbermill and worked in a Forestry camp 3 hours from town. I was a woman in a mans world, they would give you a hard time till you either cried, go home or fight back. This only furthered the development of my "smart ass" Italian mouth. LOL
The parade was Uber Kewl. I am not sure what the count was on the bikes, but there was hundreds. I know there was 100 just in front of me. When the police escort the ride they take a good pace of 35-40 mph. Many times you are riding side by side another bike. The parkways on both Shreveport and bossier are my favorite places to ride when just bebopping around the city.
Now this belly dancing looked like fun. No worries nothing I will be doing in public anytime soon. But I already have the little cymbals from Morrocco.

It was a nice warm afternoon when I met with Britney to do some photos. Her father is a Bossier city Fireman who will be retiring soon, we wanted to get some shots using her dads gear and the Firetrucks. We also hit other grungy locations true to my style of shooting. Any back alley, abandoned shack, homeless looking cat, human or dog is fair game. Buf thinks that I should include Rabbi's and Tetanus shots with my shoots. Sheesh LOL
These are just some teasers :) There was many more great ones we did. Maybe you will see them later. :)
Thank you Callie Allen for doing the hair. Dawn.... you and I need to hit the road with our bikes. :)

B-52 Bomber
It was 11:30 pm on Monday Nov 9th when I met my friend Patty at the Gate of the Barksdale Air force Base in Bossier City Louisiana. Patty works with the flight simulator, "SIM" as they call it. I got the tour then I got in the pilots seat. I have never flow a plane before and do not play video games, but I knew that I could pull this off. We started at Barksdale on the south end of the runway. I taxied the plane into position and then full throttle down the runway until I could feel it was time to pull up.... Success !! I didn't wipe out Country Kitchen ! (Had I crashed it would have been right on top of where I work LOL)
Well I buzzed the casinos down the river, then wanted to go to Vegas. So we started at Nellis Air Force Base.... and I got to take off again. Another success. I am liking this. It is really too bad that I have a slightly fallen arch in my right foot cause it looks like I would have done a great job, as when I was 19 I went through several days of testing to join the Royal Canadian Air Force wanting to be a pilot, but was refused. :(
Anyhow........ I buzzed the strip in Vegas seeing the fountains at the Villagio And the incredible lights on the Luxor Hotel with that Big Beem of light shooting straight in the air. Oh yah... and when I took off from Nellis, it was snowing !!! Haaa haaa.
Back to Barksdale... and one more take off. Success is sweet. I cruised around buzzing work at 500ft.... I wished they could have felt that ! LOL Flew really low over Lake Bisteneau... Had I been a water bomber I could have scooped water up out of the lake. LOL I was flying for 1.5 hours this morning... then back home, off to sleep and up for work.
I have found a video clip here that shows you what I got to see and do last night.

About Me
-
I would describe my photography as a passion. I have a husband and a little doggie, and of course the CAT.. LOL I moved to USA, from British Columbia Canada,in March of 1999 to marry my best friend, Buf. I love it here.... and will stay in the USA always. My photography is "shot through the heart" and that is how you need to view it. I shoot what I see and what I love. And when I stop loving it, I will stop shooting.
