Koda- CHROME

I love my husband, but one of his best features is also one of his worst. He is the kind of guy that doesn't dilly dally, he doesn't just sit around waiting for things to happen - he gets it done as expeditiously as possible. Most of the time that is a great feature to have but we just took a family road trip and I was privy to the other side of the coin - he didn't want to stop on the highway so I could get a picture or two for my blog.

 

Now , you must understand that he did pullover to let me take pictures whenever I wanted, whenever we weren't on the highway, that is. On the way to Maine I was busy stitching the quilt as it was part of our wedding gift, on the way back I had to find a way to entertain myself. Hence, the photos you are looking at.

 

 

But just look at those shadows. I couldn't help but notice the lovely patterns the shadows made. Many a trucker gave me an odd look as I stuck my phone out the window of our overly stuffed vehicle. I am sure I am not the first one to do that, but I am pretty sure I am one of the oldest.

I love all things girly,colorful, with a dose of vintage. But I gotta tell you these trucks are too beautiful to not notice. Don't you just think "quilts" when you see them?

Personally, I couldn't get enough of them. I find there is so much beauty in our world and it is not all found in nature.

 

From now on, if I am not driving, I will be taking pictures out the window with my little phone & loving all the patterns and reflections that are out there, and the love of my life will be happy that I didn't ask him to pull over for me.

 

Do you remember the Kodachrome song? It is right up there with American Pie for a road trip song. Do you feel the need to sing it full out?  Come on, I have sung it twenty times already. Jodi? Remember doing karaoke together in Aruba? Come on, click here and lets sing it together.
 

Until next time,  Carolina

Sounds to me like you channeled your 'inner Amy'!! I am very proud AND am glad to read you were not driving when you took all these pictures. And by the way, yes, all those flowers on my blog are in my back/front/side yards.

You take the most artsy shots from your phone I have seen. Love how you entertain yourself! :)

Not to sound like a mac ad, but I used my iphone.

I love this post. The truck pictures are great (who would have thought trucks could be beautiful). I listened to the whole song and it made me wish I could have had you as a friend when I was growing up and that I could be young again. It would have been so much fun! Wendy

Nice patterns within the the truck pics. I see what you mean by thinking "quilts." Also I have never seen better photos taken from a moving car!

[Beth]

I totally agree with you! Years ago I saw some fabulous B&W photos of highways in NJ, and I never forgot them. There is beauty all around -- we just have to look!

Thank you for stopping by my blog, and I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to Maine. It's the best!

Carolina asked me to leave a new post that will link to my blog. I'm new at this and fairly clueless but I think my hubby figured it out for me. I would love new visitors to my blog and invite you all to take a peek.

Sorry Carolina I was out for a while and didn't see your messages earlier. Okay I'm crossing my fingers...

I'd love to sing with you. :) Karaoke in Aruba and the first time i ever had Baily's on ice (yum), it was a great time that's for sure. :) I loved your last blog about Stonington, ME also... I'm sure you remember the whole thing with my friend Andy, well he was from Stonington. It made me smile to read that blog and reminded me how thankful i was to have u around at that time, and how u helped me through it more then u probably will ever know. :)
miss and love u!
