A pause at the end of the week…

 

Rural photo: Abandoned Vintage Truck - AnExtraordinaryDay.net

 

On the way to one of my favorite parks I would drive past this farm with barely a notice of the ancient delivery truck.   As the branches bared their souls and the snow piled up it became noticeable.  Each time I passed by, I would slow down and wonder about the past life of that lonely truck.  One day I parked on the side of the road and trudged through deep snow to get close enough to shoot a few frames of shadow and twig and rust and snow.   Will we grow old and sit abandoned like this assembly of steel?  Or will we somehow manage to keep our bodies in tune and running, delivering blessings and making beautiful stories?

    Oh–such a familiar sight…..those ‘parking lots’ on the back 40 are sometimes a hoot, yaknow? Amazing what wonderful treasures are left for rusting–‘in case we need a part some day’ is what they tell themselves around here. Oh, but how many times do I pass by without a second glance.
    Thanks for the nudge.

    And thanks for the confession of the ‘notsosuccessfulresults’ projects. *laughing* I was beginning to think it was just ME! Oh my…..the things that have looked GREAT in my head……and were ‘epic fails’ in reality. Eeshhhh! 😉

    • Diane says

      I’m thinking that once that leg is all mended and strong, you are going to be on a photo journey all over you neck of the woods. Oh the fun you’ll have!
      Oh no…it’s not you…I have plenty of “almosts!”
      Hope your new week is extraordinary!

  13. First time visiting here and I like it, and the picture and story is amazing.

    • Diane says

      I am so blessed Sharon that you are enjoying your visit here. Thank you for leaving such sweet and encouraging word!
      Blessings!

  14. A beautiful winter scene for sure. Somehow the blanket of white makes everything seem so much more intriguing…what’s hiding under there?

    • Diane says

      Thank you Tracey. You are so right….the snow creates an other worldly feeling.
      Hope your week is Extraordinary!

  15. Beautiful photo shot ~ very serene and beautiful ~ thanx ^_^

  16. Lovely. Sure hope I’m not left to sit like the truck!

    • Diane says

      Thanks!! Ditto!!
      Hope your week ends in a most extraordinary way!
