All the tired horses

An old car is overgrown by grasses in Hawaii

Bushboy has popped up with a second Weekend Puzzler (here) asking us to supply the obscurest photo to match the title or lyrics of the song All The Tired Horses.

This car used to have a good deal of horsepower, but they got tired right out, fell into a deep sleep, and have yet to wake up again.

Also posted for Becky’s Squares: Move Forward, Reconstruct, Renew, and/or are Burgeoning (more responses here), because this car’s going to need a lot of renewing before moving forward again!

Sprinklers

I see these sprinklers going on my way home from work, but only if it’s been a long day, as they’re on a timer. Usually I think, I must take a photos of those, but don’t because it’s late, I’m tired, and I just want to get home.

Last week, the same scenario arose and I was driving by, when I thought, ‘I’ll feel better taking the photos than I will rushing home.’ So I stopped, took photos, and did feel better. At least, until I drove past a police car and, looking in my rear view mirror, saw blue light flashing and heard the siren going. Luckily, he was after the car in front of me!

The Numbers Game #9

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 130. You can see more responses here.

Valentine sign

Sign at a church school in Hawi, Hawaii.

I saw this sign at a local church school. I understand what they’re getting at, but I confess I found this a bit creepy. I mean, I can’t think of anyone I’ve ever wanted to send a Valentine’s card to that I’ve also wanted to use a nail gun on.
