Well it is Saturday evening here.

This is one strange car.
It started out as an FB Holden. Which is the Australian built car loosley styled off the 57 chevvy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_FB

I suppose it has been 'chopped', melding 5 cars into one.

The owners call it tailspin.

This just freaked me out! If I saw this car coming at me I would think they are driving in reverse. The tail light housing in the front??? Wow!

[Dave]

I'm with Rich - that's a bizarre car. I'm  not sure why anyone would want to make it look like this but I will say that the modification looks professionally done, if ill-advised.

Occasionally I look around the house or yard for a photo subject that is NOT a bird, flower, or sunrise/sunset.

1) Taken New Year's Eve: an old denim shirt destined to become a paint rag> I draped it over the back of a chair. The textures, values, colors, and sorta abstract look interested me...

   

2) Mornings here have been cold and foggy and sometimes these conditions lasted for most of the day. The light that results from this sort of overcast sky can be flattering to botanical subjects, and I sought a suitable subject that was NOT a flower. Green is my favorite color,,, so why not this shot of a plant growing under our roof eave?

   

I'm working on one or two more.

Lovely rags and greens compositions there Dave.
Some wetland shots:





A lot more on my Flickr.

Wow, those are all great photos, guys.
The tailspin is sort of a work of art. It is interesting, eye-catching, colorful, unique and skillfully manufactured. Wow, what a car.
Peter, I also very much like your first reflective photo of the ducks on the log. Good job, Peter.

Dave,
Who would have thunk it ? — those jeans would still serve a purpose. Dave has a good eye and expert lighting, composition, focus, and texture. The green leaves shot is also excellent. I love how the leaves in the background are so dark, and the diagonal composition also makes this a winner.

Thanks MFI.

I agree with Lorell about your reflection photos - nicely done.

Thank you for the kind words about my photos.

[Rich]

Dave, I agree with  Peter and Lorell. With the right category the denim shirt is a winner! The leaves photo really pops! Nicely done!

Peter, nice reflections in the first one! Wetland activity interesting!
Hi Lorell!

[Dave]

Thank you Rich.
