July 26: Having babied Bob the truck to my mother's place in upstate NY, we couldn't take the risk of trying to get back to our home in central Connecticut until it had been checked, so we were stuck for the weekend, fretting about what was wrong with Bob and what were we going to do the fact that we were both expected back at our jobs on Monday. People tend not to look happily upon extending a three week vacation. Photography was some distraction. This is a closeup of the wood on her ancient barn. Bas Relief really brings out the grain.

The weathered fence near the library has wonderful whorls and ridges. This photo took well to any number of filters, but Ink Outlines was the one that deepened the cracks and textures.

THIS is what keeps us warm on days like this.
