Songography (These are Days) and some Rubbish

Joining Kathy (You'll Shoot Your Eye Out) again for SONG-OGRAPHY .  This weeks song was one not familiar to me so I went and listened, (I liked) and then I interpreted....

I captured this pensive moment of Coleen last Wednesday when we went on another of our nature outings to Rooks Park.  I feel "blessed and lucky" to have this little girl in my life and to watch her "bloom and grow" into a young lady and someday a young woman.  She is indeed touched by something special. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also joining Road (Rubbish by Roan) for RUBBISH TUESDAY.

While driving out of the park we happened upon this barn (or what's left of it) and I pulled over to snap some photos.



 
 
 
 

 
Poor tractor looks a bit neglected there in that pile of wood.

    Lovely photo of Coleen, and lovely sentiment to go with it. She's very precious to you, and I'm sure you're equally precious to her. Grandma is a very special lady! All the best, Bonny

    I love old barns. A shame this one is in such bad shape.

    Oh Yes, the Poor Tractor could have worked more :-) These barns make me think the large scale of the agriculture in your country♪♪♪

    Oh, I have listened to that song about a million times while working at the orchard....it made its way on to several different tapes that I listened to.

    Love that old barn...Coleen makes a good subject for a photo and it is wonderful that she does not seem to mind!

    Your are indeed fortunate to have a youngster in your life. I feel sorry for those who never had children and therefore no grandchildren to bless their lives.

    Wow, can hardly believe someone would let such a neat old barn and neat old tractor go to ruin like that. Someone should reclaim the old timber at the very least.

    The photo of Colleen is wonderful.

    What a lovely capture of Coleen, and the verse seems perfect for the image.

    Poor ol' barn. I bet it has some stories to tell! :)

    Coleen's beauty and that lovely photo is quite a contrast to the falling down barn. Yet it is beautiful in its own way. Great photos, Ida!
