Boy and Puppy
Wattled Starling and Lilac-breasted Roller – both birds but different species!

Last night I saw that this week’s black and white challenge was Bikes of Any Kind. Oh good, I thought, I have a few in the archives I can use. We’re away for a couple of days and I was planning to post as soon as I got a chance. Then this morning we went off on a scenic drive and stopped for breakfast at Diesel and Creme in Barrydale – And low and behold – it was full of bikers! They were taking a breakfast break from the Buffalo Rally. What a lot of material they provided for me – and they were quite willing to pose for photos too! So I’ve abandoned my original plan to post a a variety of different bikes and stuck to the motor cycles of The Buffalo Rally
They gave me so much material but I’ve cut it down to a mere ten photographs! Apologies!
Diesel and Creme is a popular stop on Route 62
Bikers are always welcome
Diesel and Creme have a collection of ancient things – bikes included
A line-up of incredible bikes
And some more with helmet waiting
Biking boots
A group of bikers kindly posed for me
And allowed me to photograph their helmets
Then they hit the road!
This week Cee asks us to submit large subjects
“This week the topic is Large Subjects. Large can be a matter of perspective. Although I would assume large means bigger than a human being. You can also show perspective of something real small and then something bigger than the small object.”
Here is my contribution,
The Ground Hornbill is a big bird – but not when compared to an elephant
