Rustic Americana In Nature 🇺🇸🌳🌿🌸

@SW-User True lol

@kodiac A man with a big heart and little words. 🧐

@SW-User 🩵

@SW-User You are in your own way.... I can picture that joy you have found seeing those baby daisies, or stalking those birds. I want that play in my heart. How can I say as a photographer at heart? It's not the details of the camera that shine - some of them have just been how you composed the image in composition, mmmkay? I honestly play with my view in my viewfinder (old word now), until I feel I have it just right... And some of your compositions, in composition, just have the right aesthetic and perspective, from where this leaf should exist here, that leaf unfolding should be there, and it can be a simple shift of perspective and sight... Let that leaf hold its texture, abundant there, and it would not hold the same quality not there. 🥺

@thewindupbirdchronicles Thank you for such an encouraging comment. I'm trying to develop some skills, if you call it that, but more so, I'm just having fun. You know ....💟🤭's

@SW-User I'm just saying you have a natural eye for composition. 😉 Keep having fun as that's the true purpose and continue having those 💟🤭's. 😉

@SW-User I'm very glad you adore these pictures.....I saw it just sitting alone out on a country road. Someone turned it into a planter and just made it beautiful again. You and I are both nostalgic at heart.....I also repurpose antiques and such when it strikes. I haven't done it for awhile. I think I'm getting that kick again to do it. I like a home to be eclectic at best. This style of antique truck has always been a favorite of mine.....plus my favorite color, blue. 😉

I'm getting the photography bug again.....glad you did truly enjoy the captures. It felt good getting out and driving the country roads. This definitely did make my heart smile and I truly wanted to share here! 🤗💜🌼💫🙏

@thewindupbirdchronicles This is a great addition here.....memories of what once was. Looking here and thinking who or what may have been here. Wonderful photo with B & W. The light shining in just right. Nice shot. ☺️

@SW-User Thank you. 'Looking here and thinking who or what may have been here.' Exactly. I know what it once was, an old worker's cottage for a mill just beside turned into a fancy hotel, but that's only the surface of thinking of who or what may have been here. What did they appreciate looking out the back window upon the river, when did they start the wood fireplace, and on? Many stories upon those floorboards. I loved the light shining in and what caught me originally. 😌

@thewindupbirdchronicles It's honestly a beautiful B&W with so many thoughts and wonders. Nostalgia always has played a part in my life and in some of the photos I've taken as well. It's wonderful to have two fellow nostalgics right here with me. That light is perfect and striking to add to your subject. ☺️

@ShaneMckay Very sad .

@ShaneMckay I understand totally.....🤗

@SW-User He was a very dear, very hard working friend. Never complained. And, then, one day, . . .

@fun4us2b I find these trucks amazing.....they were built to last......I found this one yesterday when I was out on a drive to clear my mind. It was just on the roadside on its own where someone added special touches to the nostalgia. ☺️

That is very cool that your grandfather had one that was the same color. Hopefully, I brought some good memories for you. 🙏💫

@SW-User It does - I was probably 3-5 yo and the truck was load and bumpy in comparison to a car, which I thought was great fun!

@fun4us2b I bet it was.....nostalgia is the best....☺️

@GJOFJ3 you're welcome G. glad you liked them. ☺️

@TheFlippantSide Thank you very much......I'm very nostalgic....💙 Glad you enjoyed them.

@Musicman Awww that's totally okay......just didn't want my post to make you sad. 🤗

@SW-User It makes me happy just knowing you care. 🤗🤗🤗

@Musicman I do my dear friend!! 🤗🤗🤗
