I am told these flowers are called "privy roses" because they were often planted near outhouses to combat odor. They are common throughout the Bear Lake Valley and have taken over at this great old house.

Thanks, Jim, for getting permission to explore this property.

This old can lid is between 50 and 60 years old. It has been buried in the ground after being tossed by an old Alaskan Roadhouse many long years ago.

HMM!

I wasn’t planning on falling in love today—but then I spotted this rust bucket with charm for days and a windshield that’s seen more sunsets than I have awkward crushes...

In the port vanHelgoland its magnificent structures rust harbor piles caused by tidal fluctuations and metals.

Yet another impressive sculpture I stumbled across in Dinan , Brittany a few years ago. As usual I did not make a note of the artist.

A transition to something a bit different from a Show 'n' Shine. No idea as to what model this old timer is, but it does not matter, as there is not enough showing to appreciate the actual car. No shine to this set of wheels, but most will know how much I like the look of rust and of shapes.

Will likely take two clicks to get to full view, but worth it if you like texture.

Goods Way, just behind St Pancras Station, Central London

Within living memory this area was full of the rust that comes with neglect, and it seems that now the area has smartened up and become desirable so has the rust...

"And the rest is rust and stardust."

There is much to appreciate what time wears away. We should also remember to apply that thought to our fellow human beings.
