On a walk down to a magnolia tree. Saw this for sale at a house. The faded lettering got my attention.

Very cool. Hand painted truck lettering is a dying art.

My father's first utility truck when he started his business was an ex fire truck of the same era - a1953 Ford Big Job. He bought it from the local FD, stripped off the fire equipment, donated it back to the FD, and put a utility body on it. It saw regular use well into the late 1980s.
Somewhere I have an old beat up informational flyer from the FD about the then new firehouse. The truck is in the picture.

Nice. Did you purposely wait for the boat?

Yah. Had a couple shots where the black iron and the shadow on the red beacon tower filled the frame. Then looked around for what else might be able to include. Saw seagulls flying around. Saw a boat coming. THought I could reframe some to include boat when it got there. Waited less than a minute for boat to get in frame.
(Didnt think to mess with focus (or other) to have better focus on the boat.)
Walked out to end of pier, and back, then left (coffee shop downtown was calling).
As was driving away, saw a coast guard boat going out.... ew, that would have been better, more specific to the location.

Canola, Mustard is also Yellow but grows wild. Canola is planted for Canola cooking oil. A Genius in Canada several years ago came up with the idea to change the name from Rape Weed to Canola and suddenly it is popular.
