Old Car Shadows

Shadow Shot Sunday

red car


I saw this old car on one of my walks. I loved the red and the fact that the chains go around the entire car. Plus it is red for Valentine's day and has some shadows under the mirror and under the door. It looks like an interesting ride!

This old Pontiac is massive, with chrome, and heft we see in the old steel. The valentine's red is nice for today. However with those chains holding this beauty together...I'll try an alternate means of transit :>)

Ha! What a great find! It does look like an interesting ride but I'm wondering how far it would get you. It looks like it's nearing retirement. If not there already. It is very charming though! Happy weekend!

This is hilarious, Juana. Great shot.
It does look like an exciting ride but I'm wondering how far it would get you. It looks like its approaching retirement. If not there already. It is very charming though!

what an interesting photo...I think a lot of people feel like this car, worn out and chained to a particular state of being.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her.

Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
