Keeping A Record. by darrenboyj

Keeping A Record.

For today's September word list: Pencil.

As plenty of people switch to their electronic gadgets to keep tabs on what they're doing, some of us still like the good old-fashioned pencil and paper!

Nice shot! Love the textures. I like electronic gizmos but the number of times I have lost an entire diary because of one glitch or another makes me very suspicious of them so I too like a pencil and paper.

Cool shot Darren!!! Did you hand sharpen them? They almost look like well manicured fingernails! hahaha! Hopefully the pencil will never disappear!! Very nicely composed and presented!!!

Thank you all for your comments and favs. I usually like to deal with colours and have posted plenty of colour ones previously, so this was a bit of a change for me :) I even managed to get on the PP with this - so pretty chuffed!! Thanking you all again :)
