In Need of TLC

I just love the textures on this abandoned weatherboard house.

I think this is exactly how David and I have been feeling the last couple of months. We are both a bit battle-scarred. Hopefully things are looking up a bit now though. ha ha.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on yesterday's shot.

I have been taking it easy today. I have a trapped nerve in my neck and it is agony.

Good job I'm not a horse, I would have been shot by now.

Bit of work there.... I know how you feel with your neck pain.. been suffering this week as well... a hot stone massage helped ...

[Julienne Jones]

We all need a bit of rice especially when we've taken a battering by life. Hope things look up for you soon. I love this photo though - full of character.

[Connie Little]

Certainly a weathered house in need of lots of work. Great shot of all the old textures.

[Peter]

Lovely textures and composition would fit our camera club comp derelict beauty very well Babs:)

[Beryl Lloyd]

As my dad would say - " a lick of paint will make it look as goo as new "!! maybe this building needs a little more !! Now with the Spring in the air I hope you bath will feel better !!

[Valerie Chesney]

Great find & capture.....do hope you both will feel so much better...Warm hugs to you both.

[Dianne]

A lovely image - neck pain must be very difficult to live with - hopefully it will improve quickly.

[Dione Giorgio]

Love your spirit - being able to joke about your pains. Hope they heal very soon. Beautiful capture of this antique piece.

[sally agnew]

Hope you are OK Babs. Nice textures :)

[Nova]

Hopefully you will feel better soon Babs. You captured some nice textures here on this old house.

[Babs]

@julzmaioro I've had a heat pack on my neck and shoulder most of the evening and it is feeling much better now.

[Babs]

@beryl I could do with a lick of paint myself. Feeling much better this evening.

[Babs]

@dide I've always been a pain in the neck Dianne. ha ha. Seriously though it is much better this evening.

[Babs]

@happysnaps @sangwann @novab My neck is much better this evening. Had a heat pack on it and it has eased the pain. I think I have had a nerve trapped. I have spondylosis in my neck and it plays up every now and then.

[Babs]

@hermann I am fine Sal. Will email you at the weekend.

[Catherine]

This is very effective with just that square of colour. I really like all the decaying paint too. Hope your neck is better soon - sounds very painful.

[Wylie]

ha ha seen a few like that before! looks great if its someone elses problem:)

[Casablanca]

Ouch ouch ouch, been there with that one! Glad it is easing off. I find those little stretches with your head half way between forward and your shoulder, kind of feels like a 45 degree position, looking down helpful. A physio taught me that one when I had a trapped nerve. It does help free it up.
I like the weatherboarding and it's always strangely appealing when it is tatty like this.

[Kahsia]

The textures are great.

[Paul]

I love the blue board, it really stands out. And the texture and tired look of the wood is excellent, if a little sad :)

[tony gig]

Great texture and wonderful shot...Fav

[Sue]

Has its own beauty. Sorry about the trapped nerve. I had a trapped nerve in my spine and could not sit down for months without being in severe pain. I feel for you

[Judith Johnson]

Delightful capture, hope you're both feeling better soon.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great find and an excellent shot. I love all the textures. I hope you both feel better soon.

[carol white]

Great textures and dilapidation

[Lee]

In need of a little care, but makes for a great texture shot.

[bkb in the city]

Great find

[Cathie]

Wonderful. Take care!

[gloria jones]

Great capture of textures...Take care, Babs.

[Carole Sandford]

Ouch, sounds painful! Nice capture.

[Suzanne]

Wonderful textures. Hope your feeling better soon Babs

[Claude Trew]

Lovely image with great textures. I think the blue window adds to the photo.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Peter H]

Nice observation. Lots of stories there!

[Lois]

Lovely old weathered windows! Hope you're feeling back to normal soon!

[Richard Brown]

Lovely textures glad to see you still have an English sense of humour :)

[Myrna O'Hara]

somebody will love it soon I'm sure.

[Helen Sanderson]

battle scarred...most of us who have lived quite a few decades would relate to that...take care. I like your windows..

[Islandgirl]

Love the blue window with all the texture in the old building..............hope you feel better soon..........lots of R&R!

[Danette Thompson]

I hope you feel better. Beautiful pic.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It would be visually pleasing with a new coat of paint, but then it would loose all that photographic character! Great shot and hang in there!

[Babs]

@julienne1 @littleconnie @pcoulson @megpicatilly @pusspup @moonmtn @paul10 @tonygig @suesouthwood @busylady @mittens @carolmw @gamelee @bkbinthecity @cathieg @seattlite @carole_sandford @suzanne234 @claudiet @peadar @loweygrace @rjb71 @sailingmusic @hrs @radiogirl @danette Thanks so much. My neck is much better today. I think I could do with a neck transplant. ha ha. A whole body transplant wouldn't go amiss either.

[Babs]

@olivetreeann thanks Ann. I think we all need a coat of paint on occasion. My neck is much better today.

[Babs]

@casablanca Thanks Casablanca. Can't keep calling you that!
My neck is much better today. I have a good physio too and after various exercises and a heat pack on my neck yesterday I feel a new woman today.

[Marnie]

What a great find Babs, wonderful grunge and peeling paint textures.

[Taffy]

Great sense of decay and makes me wonder what the story is.

[Debbie]

What wonderful textures. I bet that building has a storey or 100 to tell.

[Jane Morley]

Great shot. This old age isn't all it's cracked up to be is it! Although my daughter in law said. , " actually that's what it is... All cracked up"

[Pam]

That is a nice shot!
