I just love old relics like this! LOL! This one makes me chuckle! I LOVE IT! It's rusty and dusty but the glass is still intact! Love the color, grain and texture of the wood in the background, too! Another Fav for me of a Karenation kind of shot! May I pin it, please ma'am?

i love this lantern. reminds me of one we used to have back in the days when our house was the only one in the street not to have electricity. quite embarrasing but looking back now, i think it's very cool. i think old stuff like this is romantic. beautiful crisp shot. i like it!

Okay Karen, you got me with this on - now I'll not only have to follow you, I'll spend the time and go back through your Project.

Awesome shot and subject! BTW - I am a Nikon too. Take a look at YouTube and Lynda.com teaching videos. Also, I was a middle school librarian in Washington state for 16 years! Currently live on the Oregon Coast and work half- time as a publications/communications person.
posted January 1st, 2012  
@mamabec Thanks so much, Becky. I'm a newbie on the project. My husband got me the Nikon for Christmas and I'm spinning my wheels trying to learn the thing. We live in Michigan near one of our daughters. I majored in English but never taught. We lived near Tacoma, WA for awhile (my husband was in the Air Force). And I love that state. We've been down the Oregon coastline and that's a great beauty too. We're retired now and this project is perfect for me. Your philosophy and beliefs are so much like mine . . love your outlook on life and your spunk. Looking forward to seeing your photos! :)

@summerfield Thanks, Vikki. (gotta get used to that!) I was running all over the place this afternoon trying to find a pic and then saw these old relics in an old shed. My husband and I both tooks pics and his turned out better than mine. But I didn't cheat . . this is mine. :)
