What is a Roadrunner?

You will see it spelled Roadrunner as well as Road Runner.

Let's ask Wikipedia!

The roadrunners (genus Geococcyx), also known as chaparral birds or chaparral cocks, are two species of fast-running ground cuckoos with long tails and crests. They are found in the southwestern and south-central United States, Mexico and Central America, usually in the desert. Although capable of flight, and they do indeed fly sometimes, roadrunners generally run away from predators. On the ground, some have been measured at 32 km/h (20 mph).

Below are a few photos of Roadrunners.

Below is the Looney Tunes cartoon Roadrunner.

Let me tell each and everyone of you, if you aren't familiar with Roadrunners, these little rascals can really run. I mean they can really run fast. And they tend to "hang out in small groups".

I did not think it possible that a Roadrunner would get even close to a human being! These little rascals are way beyond "super skittish".

Do you want amazing?

Now for amazing!

Meet our great friend and ally Tim down in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Tim sent us the below photo!

Sitting on Tim's knee, as he sits on his porch, is one of Tim's pet Roadrunners!

Impossible Tim! You must be doing some trick photography!

Tim has a real sense of humor. He has named his tame Roadrunners.

The Roadrunner in the above photo is a male  named "Road". 

Roadrunners "Mate for Life". Tim calls Road's wife "Runner".

Sometimes (being a lady) Runner washes her hair and lets it dry in the warm desert sun!

Road and Runner are currently raising a chick named Beep Beep.

Well Hello Beep Beep! You are hungry!

Amazing Tim !!

Absolutely, Positively, Amazing !!

Thank you so VERY, VERY, MUCH Tim, for sharing your Roadrunners with all of us!

AUG 20, 25.. A MOOSE VISIT TO OUR CONDO..

 We never know when one of our local Anchorage Moose will choose to stop by for a visit.

Patti and I were just relaxing early this evening, looking out at our lovely "Green Strip" from our living room.

When we have a Moose Sighting, 70% of the time it is Patti who sees the Moose and exclaims: "Cap! There is a Moose!"

Not today. In fact after I said to Patti "There is a Moose!" she got up from our living room couch and walked over to the above window and confirmed this evenings Moose visit.

When he looked up and saw me, this Yearling Moose was was on the go.

 

No! Oh No! I did not make any attempt to follow him! You never want to appear threatening to any wild animal.

Fun!

AUG 16, 25 ( 2 / 2 ).. DETROIT, MICHIGAN.. IT'S THE DREAM CRUISE..

If you haven't already read Part 1, this is Part 2, of a two part series of Posts here on Google Blogspot.

The below link will take you to Part 1 of 2.

Here in Part 2, we will continue showing additional photos of The Dream Cruise that Tom and his grandson "Dec" sent to us.

Off we go!

You have to keep in mind that Woodward Avenue is NOT closed to the Public. So someone who "unwittingly" turned onto Woodward Avenue without realizing that The Dream Cruise was in progress, was in line for awhile.

We will call this a "Done Deal" for Part 2 of our two part Post of the 2025 Dream Cruise here on Google Blogspot.

Once again..

Thanks so very VERY Much Tom and "Dec" for your great photos. 

Thank you Ginny for being a part of this "Team Effort". Your assistance with the photos is invaluable!

Below is what Wikipedia has to say:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward_Dream_Cruise

The Woodward Dream Cruise is an annual automotive enthusiast event held in the northern suburbs of Detroit. Held each year on the third Saturday in August, the Cruise runs along Woodward Avenue, a major thoroughfare in the region, from Ferndale to Pontiac.

Oh Yes! Oh Yes Indeed! We have published a fair number of Posts here on Google Blogspot about The Woodward Dream Cruise.

This Post has quite a few photos!

Our great friend from Laughlin, Nevada, Tom Tiger is back in Detroit visiting family and friends. 

Tom and his Grandson "Dec" are visiting the Dream Cruise today.

Tom's grandson is quite an athlete. Before the two of them headed over to check out The Dream Cruise, "Dec" played in a football game!

Now out and off to The Dream Cruise!

It is one, very nice day back in "The Motor City". Just a little bit "muggy" Tom said.

Tom, in a comment, pointed out that in the below photo you can see The Goodyear Blimp up in the sky.

O.K. 

We will call this a "Done Deal" for Part 1 of what will be a two part Post here on Google Blogspot.

Again..

Thanks so very VERY Much Tom and "Dec" for your great photos. 

Thank you Ginny for being a part of this "Team Effort". Your assistance with the photos is invaluable!
