Half and Half - Steps and Boardwalk by onewing

Half and Half - Steps and Boardwalk

A bit late posting tonight as I have been out most of the day and then when I got home have spent the last couple of hours on phone calls. I desperately need a cup of tea and a couple of Panadol.

David has been back to the doctors today and they have had to reduce his medication because he has had a couple of bleeds due to the blood thinners.

We have received other bad news too from a friend of ours, so I think I am going to have a quiet night. I will catch up when I can.

Here is another photo for the half and half theme taken at the boardwalk. They have replaced the wooden steps leading down to the boardwalk and I liked the difference in the colours and grain of the wood.
Lovely tones and textures in both old and new wood, nice capture Babs well spotted, best wishes hope things start looking up soon for you and David:)

Such a simple image but the contrasts of colour, texture and direction makes it really interesting.
Look after yourself, it sounds as if you are having a very stress full time.

Have just caught up on your wonderful half and half shots this month. Do hope things settle down for your soon and that David progresses well.

Sounds like you have so much going on at the moment, well done for keeping up with the photos. :-)

Oh, Babs. Your life is so busy and challenging. Take care, and David, too. Yes this is a pleasing contrast of old and new and good for the theme.

Well spotted. A great shot for the half and half challenge.

I hope all is OK Babs though life sounds like a bit of a trial at the moment.
Do take care Xx

A wonderful contrast of different patterns and textures. Sounds like you have a bit of stress in your life at the moment. Hope things improve for you and your husband.

interesting juxtaposition there - hard to believe its just one picture.

Great half and half...nice textures

I like the differences in the wood grains and directions the wood is laying. It seems like a side by side collage. Take care of yourself, I hope you have an easier day today.

Still a bit short on time at the moment, but hopefully I am planning a quiet weekend. I have got so behind with lots of things at the moment and will try and catch up soon.

This is great one for contrasts. You know when I first looked at this (without reading anything) I thought the grey boards were floor boards but the brown wood was from a bench on the boardwalk! Anyway, I hope things improve for you Babs & David, sounds like you are have a tough time at the moment.
May 19th, 2017  
I hope things start to look up for you soon Barb. Great photo too
