It just seems like a good day to share photos of flowers. We need more flowers.

Lost Angel Flakes
Close-up study of Billy Schenck’s (b. 1947) “Lost Angel Flakes” (1982) currently on exhibit at the Palm Springs Art Museum.
1953 Cunningham C3. A rare bird indeed.
Jay Leno’s 1953 Cunningham C3.
A model replica of the P-51 Mustang hovers over Jay Leno’s rare and beautiful 1953 Cunningham C3. Just one of 25 ever built, the Cunningham C3 is powered by a 331 C.I. Hemi V-8.
Briggs Cunningham was an American sportsman, bon vivant, builder of bespoke watches and sportscars, and entreprenuer who enjoyed the finer and faster things in life. The Cunningham’s body was built by Vignale in Italy.
The Lamborghini Countach
Jay Leno’s 1986 Lamborghini Countach photographed at Jay Leno’s Garage in 2019.
Texaco Toys
Die cast toys licensed by oil companies were as common as free soda glasses and Blue Chip Stamps with a fill-up in the 1960s. Texaco mastered the licensing and marketing of toy oil company collectibles, including this finely detailed 1913 Model T “C-cab” delivery wagon made by toy collectible company Gearbox in 1997. It measures 8″ in length, was packaged in a “collectible” tin and is valued at around $30 in mint condition.
Sunrise over Crystal Cove.
A different take on a snap I made at Crystal Cove last year. The surf is only a few yards away…
Flat Track by BSA
Growing up in Long Beach in the 1960s, Flat Track racing meant taking a trip to Ascot Park in nearby Gardena and watching the greats of the day under the lights, hypnotized by the speeds, the roar of the engines, and the sweet smell of racing fuel.
Far from the Southern California beaches is #46g, currently on display at the Hill Country Motorheads Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Burnet, Texas. It’s a terrific museum with a great selection of motorcycles from across the generations, but especially rich in 60s dirt bikes.

1966 Yenko Stage II. Safe at any Speed.
Another personal favorite from Jay Leno’s Garage is this genuine 1966 Yenko Stage II Corvair. Beautifully restored, she’s powered by a 164 C.I. flat-six with four carburetors, generating 190 HP. Designed by Ed Cole, the Corvair was Chevrolet’s answer to the Porsche 911.
