About Me

My photo
I retired from the Auto Industry in the Detroit area and now make my home in sunny Arizona. I enjoy travel and photography. Although I often think of my photography as serendipitous; I really direct myself to places where those pleasant surprises are likely to occur. When I travel I call myself the "Happy Wanderer".

St. Peter's Car Show

Last Saturday was a car show at St. Peter's in Litchfield Park.  The day was going to be a hot one, so I got there around 8:30 am.  The cars were all parked on the grass so it made it pleasant to walk around and spend time looking at the cars.  I was impressed with the number and quality of cars.  Although there were quite a few sharp looking autos in the show, I was particularly attracted to a 850hp 2012 Camaro called the "Freedom Fighter".  This car had a patriotic themed mural painted across the entire exterior.  I'm lucky I got there early to photograph it since it attracted a lot of people standing around and admiring it.

Here are some of the more interesting cars in the show.  Additional photos can be viewed on my web page:  http://azbigbill.weebly.com/st-peters-car-show.html

Scottsdale Walking Tour

Earlier this month, I went to Scottsdale, AZ to do some sightseeing.  I was impressed with all the attractions in town, so I decided to make another trip this past Friday to catch up on some of the areas I missed.  It's a great place to just look around and take pictures.  Of course there is a lot of shopping and restaurants to spend some time and money.  There is 3 hour free parking throughout the downtown, so you can walk around one area and then drive to another.  The free trolley is also terrific to hop from place to place.

Here are some interesting photos from this trip:
