I was picking up a load in Baton Rouge this week, and the warehouse where I loaded was right behind the capitol building. It was also about 40 feet from the road, and they wanted me in the dock without blocking the whole road or dropping the trailer, but that's another story. I decided to take some pictures of the Capitol, and when I walked down there to take the pics I saw this bird in a tree and got some pictures of it. The guy that was loading my truck called it a "fish crane" which sounds rather unofficial, but I'll go with that. Either way, here are the pics.

It may have made it's name in the days of the wild west, but Dodge City is still alive and well. There's not a meat trucker or bull hauler worth his salt that hasn't made a stop or two in this town. Here are a few pictures I snagged while over there.

I love trucking out west sometimes, and it is a great place to find some very scenic locations to photograph the truck. I took these pictures just east of Barstow at an old truck stop I used to frequent that is now shut down. The dark colors of the desert landscape provide a nice contrast to the bright colors of my truck. These pictures were taken in February of 2012 when I had had the truck for 2 weeks.
