I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks for the support, Taz. I'm kind of high on this one myself.

    I wish I could claim some sort of genius in generating this image. The simple truth is that the subject was a rusty old sign on the side of a barn. I did have to spend an inordinate amount of time and effort to get the tractor to stand out in the final image. I'm used to such matriculations when working with my rust stuff, this one was just a little more challenging than usual.

    Take care, my friend,

    Thanks for the visit, Cristóbal. As hard as it was to get the tractor adequately rendered, you would have thought the damn thing was a ghost.

    See you,

    Yo pard,

    I guess you guys are still on the road. I keep waiting on a sneak preview of the thousands of shots you're taking. Come on....throw us some teasers.

    Stay safe,

    Thanks, Don. This one was a little difficult to get right....but worth the effort. Glad you like it.

    Take care,

    Thanks for the comments. I believe, Eric, that each of us tends to develop the " eye " for the subject matter that interests us the most. Rust and its hidden treasures certainly makes that list with me.

    See you,
