Signs...

Jean Marie - When a sign is a sign that you need a new sign.


Jules - Ditto. :) Sign still unrepaired from devastating tornado that blew through about 4 years ago.

Jean - Loneliness. This beautiful yellow flower stands strong beside its fallen friend. It makes me sad.


Jules - Me trespassing again, this time wanting a shot of these sweet curtains framed by the white crusty window against the grey rock.

Free Style

Jean - Taken in a hospital parking garage, the first thing I noticed when I drove in was this pristine, shiny bike illuminated by the garage’s yellow lights. Creeping to take a closer look I had to smile. The protective stop sign in the background threatened curious onlookers with an unspoken “Don’t even think about it”.



Jules - I took a photo of this sign because the place had gone out of business. I guess the good life wasn't so good. :)

Texture

Jean - Hurricane season makes us down south do some crazy things. In this case, the heavy chain that my husband anchored down his trailer with is still wrapped “for dear life” around our large oak tree. I love how time has aged the chain and its look against the heaviness and texture of the oak’s bark.


Jules - The shingle on the cover to an old wooden swing that sits in my yard. I love how nature has decorated it. :)

Soft

Jean - It’s a bush, with fluffy white stuff.


Jules - Mine is a feather on a bed. No, seriously. :)

Dusk

Jean - On a recent family excursion, this sunset gave the illusion we were spiraling towards a destination of orange fiery hell. Combining that with the 6 hour long trip (that should have taken 3) and the chaotic meltdowns of the 2 year old in the backseat, I would have to say we were forewarned.


Jules - Mine actually is the picture FROM hell. I missed the perfect sunset last evening so I went tonight to recapture only to run out of battery midway through not to mention there WAS NO SUNSET. I get home and only have one good shot which I have been trying to upload to blogger for the last HOUR, only to have it be viewed sideways. Finally, here it is. This is a photo of Christmas lights up the drive leading to our local hospital. Yeah, they're still up, but so? Last year I didn't take my tree down til Easter. :)

Strange

Jean - At first glance my photo doesn’t seem out of the ordinary. It appears to be a middle eastern man walking away, towards hills of sand and dry brush. The reality is the photo wasn’t taken anywhere near here, but rather leaving Houston, Texas off Interstate 10. This young man was walking along the service road in front of a concrete plant.


Jules - A sign as seen in the prison garden behind the county jail. Combined with Jean's picture, I find it sort of ironic, especially being the two weren't planned beyond having a "strange" topic. :)
