When you are stuck for words a picture can paint a 1000! Look around you for the extraordinary you will be surprised at what you can find. Make sure you look up as well. |

Somethings you can look at a 1000 times and never tire of the beauty and wonder. |

You can just stumble across a treasure that has been sitting waiting to be discovered by just you! Hi Everyone I have been searching for a photo in my computer files. What I thought I wanted to find ended up being something completely different to what I started out looking for. Maybe if I was more organized it would not have been quite the adventure and time consuming task that it was. But then again I have found a hand full of gems that I had no idea existed! Sometimes you just need to look at things through fresh eyes. Photo number one is an second floor of a building in Hindley Street, Adelaide. I took this when I was doing night classes in town. I love the colours and design that jump out at you if you take the time to slow down and just look up for the unexpected. Photo number two is taken of a beautifully hand crafted memory quilt that my sister-in-law got for her wedding anniversary. It alone holds treasures to explore and I never tire of looking at this amazing piece. When I visit it takes centre stage and never disappoints in surprising me with the photos it displays. Photo number three is a classic, past its best days but still able to captivate its passers by. I took this while walking the dog one day last year. My sister and I have a fun story of how I tried to do some city driving in the early 80's in one of these VW Bugs. Being a country driver I was more used to dodging the odd pack of sheep on the road than packing this little car with three littlies and shopping in town. I make a rule now I am much older and wiser not to drive unfamiliar cars that I do not own myself. Bunny hopping and not finding gears to be able to get ourselves home is not much fun and asking a kind passer by how to get it going again was very funny now we look back on it! So the rule is never tire of looking for the unexpected and have fun when you do find it! Love and Best Wishes, Sue |

Hi Sue, love that quilt so clever with the photos and the beetle brought back memories for me as I has a blue beetle for my first car, I loved it and stuck dolphins all over the boot and bonnet. My mum hated it when she borrowed it as everyone knew it was her and people at work would say they had seen her at.... she felt like she had no privacy, but I adored it and when I sold it I made £80 as I bought it for £120 and sold it for £200, but I cried when she went, I'm a bit daft as I called her Wilamina.Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for popping into my blog...I am glad I have found you back..I will be your 16th Follower! My first car was a beetle too... white like that one..I loved it and put a lovely blue tartan blanket on the back seat and Basil the fox in the back parcel holder! We zoomed all over Auckland with my friends in the mid seventies.
