Cars and Artists -- More Tailgating


I have seen many more strange writings and artwork on cars.   Unfortunately, these three are only the ones I actually captured digitally.  However, I promise to be more aggressive and resourceful in the future. 

Although the first two appear to be greetings written with temporary chalk, the last one is permanent  auto decoupage; front, back, and sides.


***updated.  these three are only the ones captured recently.  I didn't mean to disregard the ones I caught last year!  As reminded by my daughter.

Does that meant the T-bird isn't a coupe any more?

You said you were going to be more aggressive and resourceful - but apparently forgot about your Tailgating post from May 16, 2009.

I've never seen a decoupaged car before, but I have seen some pretty wildly decorated cars. Shoot! I just got WT's comment! I had to type out decoupage in order to understand it. De-coupe. Very clever, WT.

Here, I enjoy seeing license plates from all over the U.S. and Canada! Yesterday I was behind a truck from Nova Scotia!

I decoupaged a lot of things back in the day...never once thought about doing the car.
Do bumper stickers count? Seen on a car in a southern Arizona town where many cars have been stolen:
Honk if this is your car !

My favourite was on the back of a "budget" hire van;

Oh man. Those ancient cars that are only held together by a decades-old palimpsest of bumper stickers are my favorite. You can tell everything about the age, sex, political preference, band following, religious affiliation, and every other stray thought of the owner just by reading his car.

I see a lot of the window writing around here since I live near several colleges and people in GA really get into their football. But the decoupage takes the cake, I will have to get a picture of the home made RV thing I see with wooden shingles on the highway. I am seldom the passenger though so I might crash trying.

I usually see writings on cars during graduation or for people who have passed away. I don't remember car writings being popular when I was younger.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
