Just Barely Hanging On by alophoto

Just Barely Hanging On

I feel this was some days. Like I am hanging on by a thread and a good stiff wind would blow me away.

Car hunt is discouraging. It's been cold and gray and yesterday I ran in the icy, winter mix rain and got pelted by ice (but yet it felt good to get some exercise in and get out of the house). Praying for some brighter skies, some warmer days and a perfect car find soon.
Oooh, you're braver than me! I know the feeling only too well. Sometimes I just want to sing that song... "don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge".
This is a beautiful shot, just love that little flower hanging there.

@bella_ss @linnypinny Thanks so much, ladies. So glad you liked this, too. When I took it a few weeks back, I loved it, but today, I'm not much feeling it so it is encouraging to me that you think it is fav worthy. So appreciate you!

Perfect photo to match your narrative.

Ooh nice!
Lovely colours.

Hang in there!

Pretty shot. If you lived in Georgia, I could get you a deal on a car.
December 2nd, 2014  
@soboy5 Well come on up to OH and get me a deal on a car;-). You got connections in GA?
December 2nd, 2014  
@amandal LOL. Yes, I have major connections in GA :)
December 2nd, 2014  
@soboy5 Lucky...I need some connections.
December 2nd, 2014  
Great perspective and colour. Must admit car hunting is not one of my favourite pursuits - best of luck!

What a lovely shot! Hang on girl!
December 2nd, 2014  
So pretty and delicate

Oh you got a tree too Amanda! Nice. What's that you hung on the top right twig? Don't you just feel liberated not having a car? Best not to rush into it.
December 2nd, 2014  
@yrhenwr No, it's a pain. I need to get around. And starting Friday we have to pay for the rental or I need to go car free.
December 2nd, 2014  
@amandal Aw gee! Sorry, I'm supposed to sympathise and I'm just being a grumpy old man! Fingers crossed for you then Amanda.
December 2nd, 2014  
@yrhenwr And everything I am looking at stinks. Wish cars grew on trees. Oh well, I'm sure I will find something soon. Just a hard time to be forced to buy a vehicle. Merry Christmas me:). I'm feeling grumpy about this, too. . I get it.
December 2nd, 2014  
Very nice capture with pretty tones.
December 2nd, 2014  
Beautiful composition and colors--lovely focus, too! This grey weather has me feeling "down" and it is miserable to car shop in the winter. I wish I had some connections for you here in Fairfield, OH! (My daughter had good luck buying a nice used car...wish I could remember where she found it.)
December 2nd, 2014  
Super capture, great focusing
December 2nd, 2014  
Awesome, love the shallow dof.
December 2nd, 2014  
Lovely color and composition.
December 2nd, 2014  
love that splash of colour in your image.............sorry to hear you are having trouble finding yourself a replacement car. We are the polar opposite in this house, son has a really nice car that he can't sell at the moment!
December 2nd, 2014  
super composition
December 2nd, 2014  
@pixiemac Is it a minivan?! I'll buy it. The shipping would kill the deal though, eh? Hope he can sell it soon. Last time we sold a car it took forever!!!

Great photo of the end of Fall Amanda. Sure says a lot about your life and many of our lives some days. Glad you are getting out and wishing you the best on your hunt for a car. We have been in the pinch to get a car way too many times. It always ended up being another car payment. If you want to spend more try Hertz as they have good deals but pricy. We have purchased a few from them including our current car.
December 2nd, 2014  
@darsphotos I wish we could spend more. It would make the search easier. We are needing to spend not much and I want all the bells and whistles. Thanks, lady!!

An emotional shot - for you thinking like this and for the fact of winter. A great portrayal of both!
December 2nd, 2014  
Clever of you to find something bright even in the winter gloom.
December 2nd, 2014  
lovely pov and depth of field x

Despite the title, I find this photo very soothing in its colors and shapes. Very pretty. Have you used truecar.com in your search for a car? It might help with the pricing. They are on the 2nd floor of my office building but are national. (at least their website says they are)

great capture. good luck with the car hunt, itll all work out!
December 3rd, 2014  
Beautiful. Fav.
December 3rd, 2014  
This is so lovely! Love the focus and comp. Well spotted. Just hope you can spot just the right car as well and that the sun will come out and warm things up for you!
December 3rd, 2014  
Oh my I'm going to have to back track through your shots. Car totaled from tree ? We had a mix of weather here today also. It can rain for days as long as it stops before Monday.... Heading to NYC for some photography fun with two friends from photo club.... fingers crossed the winter cooperates . Wonderful pop of red....
December 3rd, 2014  
Nice shot. Sorry about the car. Hope you find just what you want and need.
December 3rd, 2014  
I can identify! Great photo!
December 3rd, 2014

December 3rd, 2014  
Oh my it looks like a Christmas decoration
December 3rd, 2014  
@lesip Lucky!! Have fun in NYC!! I'd love to see it this time of year! Yes, it was totaled by branches last Monday. Pretty nutty.
