While on my daily walk, I spotted this flower, weed..:), and wanted to test my phone. I actually a little impressed.
This is at an oasis which was once a luxury resort but the locals now use the area as a day out to go dune buggy racing or to sail out on the oasis
Famous for the spectacular Elora Gorge and its 80 foot limestone cliffs descending into the Grand and Irvine Rivers. Adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers regularly flock to Elora, Ontario to enjoy some fun and take in the natural beauty. Many original stone buildings from the 1800′s still make up the downtown village centre. Over the decades, Elora has maintained its old world charm and the century-old buildings have been transformed into unique galleries, gift shops, artists studios and charming restaurants creating the perfect four-season shopping and dining destination.
I love how this turned out. I used a texture in the background by Skeletal mess. The sparkly bokeh on the flower is straight out of the camera. I love it.
Lots of ghost writing on this old building in Columbia, TN - home of Mule Day

The Buggy Barn Museum is located Just outside Blanco, Texas. Who knew! The place is really cool. It's like taking a step back in time. Here's what the Internet say:
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the horse--drawn carriage was king. Carriages, designed for comfort and elegance, were reserved for the rich or businesses, such as funeral homes. A public passenger vehicle was called a stagecoach; working four-wheeled vehicles were wagons; and two-wheeled vehicles were carts. But the general terminology for all of these horse-drawn vehicles is “buggy.” Buggies started to disappear as steam engines began to generate interest. Steam power quickly won the battle against animal power and buggies have all but vanished from general use.
Inside there are more than 100 buggies, carriages, and wagons for you to look at -- up close and personal.
The Hearse came from Europe. In the 1860s, it would have been drawn by either two or four black horses, and was known as the Black Brigade. The one on display here is fairly elaborate and most likely was reserved for royalty.
The 1903 Studebaker, the largest of the Rockaway Carriages, had glass enclosures and could carry six passengers.
The Canadian-made Jump Seat Buggy could be configured in two ways -- either with two rows of seats or the front seat could be folded down and the main seat would slide forward over the jump seat, giving the driver more comfort.
Work wagons
There are also many larger wagons outside, including a stagecoach and a Conestoga wagon. The Conestoga wagon was first built by Mennonite-German settlers near the Conestoga River Valley in Lancaster, Pa., in the mid-1700s. These wagons were heavily used in the westward expansion of the United States, because of their load capability.
Sit down and hold on, this is going to be a fun ride ... and so it was. We were heid up by bandits who demanded all our snacks and sweets; so much fun with lots of laughs.

“He’s of the colour of the nutmeg. And of the heat of the ginger…. he is pure air and fire; and the dull elements of earth and water never appear in him, but only in patient stillness while his rider mounts him; he is indeed a horse, and all other jades you may call beasts.” ~Henry V
Buggies at rest means the owners usually are bust working or visiting each other.
A little Topaz textures to give it a more period and artsy appeal.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
most of the summer I haven't seen these milkweed beetles.... seems like they all came late to the party!!
