Weekly Photo Challenge: Worn

I finally made it back to the weekly photo challenge, which is put on by the great guys at the wordpress daily challenge blog. You can check all the particulars out here. While you’re at it, be sure to take a peek at other participants blogs!

I had a hard time picking a photo for this theme because worn items happen to be one of my favorite subjects, so you’re getting a couple. Oh joy.

I liked the texture here

found this in the neighboring yard – I think it’s fiberglass

random weathered wood found in our yard

this is more weathered than worn, but oh well..

the shower deck at Pomme De Terre lake

and I shall stop there 🙂

Random Spring Photos

(another new post. Hold your breath!)

 

Though I may have bored you with photos in the last post, I thought I’d do it again! (Lucky you!) These will be the last photos you will see from my old Kodak camera, as the tax return has arrived and the Nikon d3100 is officially here! Now to learn to use it….

Just fun.

Lots of curve adjustment to draw that blue out

pretty flowers. involves some colored overlays to get that sunset look

Yes, this is still up – and still lit – at the park. To get this I had to darken the original and manually add int he glow and twinkle on each bulb. Worth it, though.

***

What is this stuff?!?!?! It’s on the evergreens and feels slimy. Some kind of spore thingy?

***

Barbed wire. Used that same overlay tactic again 😉

***

The buggers are hard to get in focus!

***

ditto for this!

***

It’s… RAIN!

***

Weathered boards

***

Grating

***

It’s actually gone down some….

and more rain!

Wasn’t that fun? I have a lot more of the rain drops, but I will spare you 😉 As always, there’s lots more photos in general on my Flickr account. The link is in the sidebar over there —->
