I took this photo with a friends Canon T1i and I just found it looking back through some pictures from a bit ago. I reflected on this picture because I sometimes feel like this old truck looks: Tattered and used up for the most part but the character of what we are, and were, shows through even after all these years.
I hope your Monday was a great atypical Monday!
The Bride and I went for a walk this evening right after a small but unsuccessful rain storm moved through. The storm did bring relief from the heat so I will give it its due for that part of it’s responsibilities.
We walked about and had no other task before us than to enjoy ourselves and that is what we did. Here are a few shots from the walkabout in the windy cool haze of today.
……. Butt I will Bee Back Later!
I would loved to had the time to sit here with a very large and cold glass of ice tea.
This little wonder was no more than four inches long. I am surprised my Olympus SP350 was able capture this because of its spot evaluation issues.
A symbol of muscle cars as I remember them! Barely.
Steven Schwartzman, the author of a blog I follow called Portraits of Wildflowers, had posted an amazing shot of this cool little bee that I dig. My Sp350 did a good job of locking in on this shot….till the wind blew. Still like it though.
The flower, or technically the flowers, are Smooth Phlox and they are apparently drought resistant. I stopped and took this picture yesterday because after a blazing ball of color on the side of the road caught my eye. I went back to take the shot and caught a firefly as a bonus.
I had as much difficultly deciding whether to use “it’s” or “its” in the post title as I did with the shot evaluation on my SP350. Actually less so than coming to grips with this wonderful but aggravating camera! That will be an ongoing issue I am afraid but I have no choice to use it since my PowerShot S3is died and the battery on the G3 lasts about twenty or so shots. Trust me this is just an inconvenient reality not a real problem!
Well it is later and I am still riding the wave of inspiration from Mike’s Look at Life post of really cool old metal. Here are a few more and as much I hope you enjoy them please stay cool and be safe!
