hot rod sled
Holiday Hot Rod
by J.M. Franklin
An ancient custom metallic red sled. Thirty-two hooves pull it ahead. One night
in December this machine always flies, guided by stars as it cruises the sky.
Like sure footed cheetahs flying a fleet, these star-bound reindeer have never been beat. With a quick dash of nitrous, it soars to new heights, a silver red rocket, the sled blasts through the night.
At the end of the run the job is complete; suddenly lighter with an empty back seat! Back to the shop for a tweak and a tune, the hot rod sled is on jacks until June.
The master mechanic with the snowy white beard has more horsepower in mind as next Christmas draws near.

generations of driving fun
Sticking with the car theme (again), I wanted to share one of my favorite photos.
Autopia at Disneyland has been a family favorite going back to when my dad and uncle were kids.
My son and I were in the car in front and the ride was nearly over. I spun around with the camera to look behind us and got this candid shot of my wife and daughter as we pulled to a stop.

flower photos
Along with a growing collection of car and automobile photographs, flowers make great subjects and I've created a gallery of my flower photography.

This is a photo that I took last weekend at the Ellensburg Rodeo in Ellensburg, WA.
The rodeo is held every Labor Day weekend and includes a great parade as well as activities at the Kittitas County Fairgrounds.

Car Photography
Car photography is a hobby that I started a few years ago with my first iPhone.
In that time I've taken hundreds of photos of all types of cars. Mostly photos of hot rods, but some classic cars, sports cars and a few pick-up trucks as well.

Coboss. It's a straw man of a story...
Earlier in the year I published my first story: Coboss. It's a straw man of a story...
It's the tale of an erstwhile scarecrow that aspires to work at the farm radio station.
The digital book version of the story is available for purchase here.
