Needful Things - Rusty Ladle and Leaves

I love this old ladle with the dead leaves but I can't get a good crop on this shot. It doesn't look right as it is. I need to get out and get some more shots from different angles I guess.

Rusty Boat

I discovered this wonderful, rusty old boat near the docks in Newport Oregon. I wish the top stood out better from the background. Next time I'm in that area I'll have to try different angles.

Out To Pasture

This old truck seems to have outlived its usefulness and, much like an old horse, has been turned out to pasture. Many thanks to the farmer who left this reminder of days gone by. My husband says he thinks its a 40's Ford truck but isn't sure. Anyone know for sure?

This is near the tiny community of Tenmile, Oregon. I've been through this area many times and have never noticed this truck before because it sits at the back of a large pasture. Yesterday I stopped to take some pictures of hay bails across the road and discovered the truck when I started to get back in my car.



This gives an idea of how far back in the pasture it is and why I missed it before.

Needful Things - Microscope and Thread Spool

Another of the amazing objects displayed around this old building. I thought the spool sitting on this microscope was part of it at first. It blends well.

Gold Panning Tools

Old Things and Imagination

You're right Annie. There are still so many wonderful things to see in this old treasure trove.

I would love to know who all used this skate.

I envision an excited 6 year old sitting impatiently while his mom attaches this, and its matching skate, to his shoes. He's grining his six-years-old-with-missing-front-teeth grin and his mom is telling him to be still so she can get them buckled on.

Can you see him?

Old Things and Reflections of Things

I'm back.... with a barn

I'm finished with my break. I needed to step back from photography for a bit. Occasionally I get so caught up in something that I can only see things from that perspective and my life becomes unbalanced.

I am rebalanced (if thats not a word it should be) and I can't wait to see what everyone has done while I was gone.

And, of course, what else would I come back with but a barn :) This great old barn is on the way to Crater Lake.

Unknown object

I have no idea what this is. I found it in a field with several other big rusty pieces of metal.
