Goodmorning,

Rusty circles turn
Hope no spanner in the works
Keeps the running smooth


Hope Rebecca is ok.

it is a golden rusty image with strength and beauty.

the idea of how we all "work together".

I find this photo fascinating as well. It does communicate on many levels and I think that urban machinery and farm machinery have their own beauty--the shapes of the wheels and gears and the colors of the oxidized paint. I found this wonderful link. I thought you might like it.

'Iron sharpens Iron'

This is a beautiful image in the golden light.

There's a mill stream in my garden which leads to a historic working flour mill this machinery reminds me of the ambience of that place!

Thank you

It's Sepia Saturday again. Since my dear mother is recovering  from shoulder replacement surgery, I thought I'd feature her image this week. This is little Betty with her dog Spot.

She worked in the library at Butler University, putting Hubby through school, so to speak. She worked on and off through my childhood, when working mothers were somewhat odd and not at all normative. It wasn't a matter of personal choice as much as necessity, because her husband's ministerial salary couldn'...
