GORGEOUS little bug! And…not quite such a gorgeous nudist, but still a very striking shot!

I happened to really luck out on the timing of this one: [Flying Andy.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/11822576@N08/2919263667/sizes/l/)

I think I can see what looks to be a 14 k of g in a fpd. That makes no sense, though, does it? 😉
Seriously though, in the bottom left of that photo, in the second “row” of lettering from the bottom, I think I can make out the word “STRENGTH”.
My WAG would be it’s the expiration date on a bottle of Tylenol or Motrin because of the red in the picture.

Looks like a dot-matrix moving-message sign, like in Times Square.

Returning froma three week road trip out west I was intrigued by the antelope that seem to run wild in Wyoming. I wanted to get a picture of one near the road…so at 75 miles per hour on route 80 I saw an antelope ahead…lowered the van window and snapped this pic.

Lo and behold I not only got the antelope, but a hawk in flight approaching the beast!
Here is a cropped close-up of the same shot.

Problem is I was nowhere near Time Square (or any similar place) at that time. The only legible thing is “after 9/11”. The picture was recorded on Sept. 23, so I don’t know what that’s about. It’s just weird.

I don’t see that. 😕
