One of my favourite shots from the night..my friends are illuminated in the foreground, I also like how you can see the Zipper's sign, as well as Freak Out in the background. ^_^

Still more night time shots from The Big Ex?
I know, I know...more shots from The Ex...I took so many!
Bumper cars loom in the background, so awesome!
Super slide was surprisingly super!
Chair swings? That weird hang glider ride?
Something spinn-y at the very least..

Awwwwww!
Spotted this cute lil' fox in Kingsburg last week...
It sure was tame! I assumed it would run away when I got out of the car to get closer. But no, it walked towards me at that point!
Apparently it is a mix of a red fox and silver fox, what a cutie!

Vintage Chainsaws
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love chainsaws....
I was fortunate to be granted limited access to photograph some of the antique chainsaws in my neighbour's shed, hopefully he'll let me shoot his chainsaw sculptures and workbench next time!
His pride and joy, an old McCulloch chainsaw, with a dirt bike performance exhaust pipe for good measure. This is a saw he uses in woodsman competitions. The upside down plastic bottle on the top of the saw is covering/protecting the carburetor while it's in storage.
Another old McCulloch saw from the 70's, heavy as all get out.
The new, and the old, a competition Jonsered on left with a big tuned exhaust pipe, and the 'ole McCulloch on the right....or, was it a Pardner?
And still, more saws hanging in the shed...
