A Sure Sign ...

My son, Owen, sent a photograph to me today of his hairy face, with the caption "Starting the Winter Coat." Yes, a certain sign that summer is coming to a close. Of course, I wouldn't attest to that since Spokane is still sweltering with 90-plus degree days.

But it's coming. Halloween and and Thanksgiving merchandise already in the stores are vying for your dollars.

Today's photographs, however, have nothing to do with seasons, although they are the direct result of weathering. I came across some more Bondo Series candidates, and those are today's uploads. Enjoy!

These bumps inspired a bumpy treatment
in some sterling jewelry I'm making
One never knows
where one will next find a great idea!

These wheels just keep taking me places ...

I climb up into my truck and I just open myself to whatever comes down the road. Yes, there are days when I think of a specific subject I want to photograph, but a great majority of the time I haven't a clue what's going to find its way in my camera. It's fun to bump into the unexpected.

Case in point are the two images I bumped into and am uploading today. I pulled into a parking spot and directly ahead of me was a brick building a tagger had painted. I am drawn to meters with their pipes and gauges and moving parts. So, to find one directly in front of my truck, and painted no less, I was in heaven.

No less fun was the back of the truck I stared at when stopped at a traffic light. I'm not sure what the cartoon is, perhaps a pie-eyed coo coo. But I was entranced by the lines and lights of the truck, the patterns, the number, the license plate AND the coo coo.

A successful Day 236! Enjoy ...
