My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
A couple of weekends ago I came a cross a car show in Old Town. Since I had my camera with me, I walked among the vintage cars. I remembered the past, cars my friends had and also the 56′ Chevy sedan I use to own. Wished I still had it, too. Anyway, here are a few photos from the wandering.
“I’m an old man now and have had a great many problems. Most of them never happened”
Mark Twain
Each time I wait at the bus stop at the Mountain Avenue stop, I see this bicycle on the other side of the tracks. And, each time I take a photo. It’s a simple image. No strong colors or repeating patterns. It has a strange illusion of imbalance due to the sidewalk that rises on the right side. Yet, it speaks to me in some way.
In reference to the quote, yes, my imagination does create illusionany problems, amusing commentaries and scenes at an astounding rate. They arrive while driving, doing the dishes, meditation, reading, etc. Each time these take me away from the present, which is the only place I can live this life. As Rohr says, “Presence is only known by presence itself.”
Found these lashes at the park a couple days ago. Not an accessory I want on my car but made me smile. 
“For that is the power or the camera: seize the familiar and give it new meanings, a special significance by the mark of a personality.” Alfred Stieglitz
Please take the time to read the signs on the truck.
“What you love is a sign from your higher self of what you are to do.” – Sanaya Romane
Looks like a loose screw or at least a lost screw. Another one of those things we see on our walks around the neighborhood.
I’m done shopping! No more for this year. Took my daughter with me last week and she helped me finished it all. Thank you, Monica.
I met a friend for lunch the other day and arrived a half hour early. So, grabbed the camera and walked around the shopping area. I discovered this truck as advertisement in front of a liquor store. Impulsively, I made four shots and was on my way. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
School is out until after New Years. Families gather to celebrate. Young children are heading for grandmas house to help in the kitchen and awake on Christmas morning to open gifts. Christmas travel has begun and can be a hectic time. Enjoy your holidays and enjoy the travel getting there.
