Cracked Up, but Still Functioning

Smörgåsbord

handle

This old Ford truck had seen better days. The sky-blue paint was cracked and rusted. It certainly speaks of me, too… depending on what day you judge. I’m a little cracked around the edges. It brings character, I hear. If not character; being cracked at least brings laughter… even if it means laughing at yourself. It’s refreshing to know you don’t have to be perfect… and that older things can still be beautiful.

This is my contribution for Wordless Wednesday (WW) and Thursday Challenge (TC). This week was “Shiny” at Thursday Challenge. My husband calls me “the crow” because I love shiny things and bling-bling. I used to have this cell phone that was encased in clear pink and had all sorts of blinking things on it. A groovy retro blinking antenna and a battery that made all sorts of patterns in a rainbow of LED lights. People used to slow down when I pulled up behind them in the car at night while I was on the phone… they thought I was a cop car I was so bright. Good thing I’ve grown up (a little) since then. Now I like old rusty things, too.

  1. I thought you might like this awesome new movie! It is called Come What May! It supports the fight for life, inspires the Godly marriage and encourages purity. You can even veiw it free today and tomorrow yet! It is so worth the time. I am trying to get the word out before everyone goes to vote, too!
    It was made by over 40 homeschoolers! Way to go homeschoolers! A+

  3. I love this shot. It’s so rich with history…how often do we see something old and worn out, yet we don’t take the time to muse over it. I’m so glad you did, as this pic is rich with meaning.

    I’ve posted my WW contribution here, and hope you can pop by for a look soon – and hopefully share a Thematic Photographic picture, too! http://tinyurl.com/5hzlp7

  8. Great shot. The cracked old paint adds a lot of character. (Sort of like the lines I keep finding around my eyes these days…)

  16. I like the juxtapostions (hmmm) not sure that is the right word and I know I didn’t spell it right. Anyways, this photo is very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing.
