Of Textures, Barns, & Lilacs
Today is Tuesday and it's time to join the talents of other photographers at Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday, but I'm also joining the folks at Bluff Area Daily for Barn Charm. Let's start with Texture Tuesday. I so love textures of all kinds, the grungy, elegant, artistic, and of course vintage. I've always been drawn to the old and used, gently and hard. It's the stories that I concoct about inanimate and animate objects that makes all those antique, vintage, retro and yesterday's stuff so appealing to me. Whether it's a barn or a an old fame displaying lilacs, I'm intrigued and content.
Have you been fortunate enough to smell the heady fragrance of lilacs on spring breezes yet? I'm blessed with an old lilac just out my window. I can sit at the computer working and enjoy the elegant blossoms in every 'scents' of the word. (Bad pun intended) How could my subject not be the lovely lilac this week?
I'm linking up with Barn Charm on Bluff Area Daily More barn beauty can be found at...

It's interesting seeing what you've learned in Kim Klassen's class. I've heard so many good things about her course and the photographs that her students are putting together, including yours of course, are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLucky you for having a lilac tree growing outside your window! Lilacs are one of my favourite flowers and my favourite scent. Mmmmm...is it possible to get intoxicated on the scent?
And that's a good quote by Tim Bowling. I may have to write that down...
