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
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
Thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/chuk-haze/] for inspiration - he recently posted a similar photo.
Happy Fence Friday!!
HFF!!
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.

“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
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.
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!

"Dune Buggy" by The Presidents of the United States of America
Okay, I got a rubber-band motor
Hummin' on the beach and ready for fun
Quit spinnin' that web and come out and play in the sun
Eight thimble-sized cylinders to be as smooth as you please
Spider's badass fat old abdomen stuck in the buggy seat
This shed built in 1883 housed the Grant-Khors ranch buggies. It was orginally on the east end of bunkhouse row (Pictured on the rightside of the photo) but was moved to its current location in 1907 to make way for the railroad tracks (Milwaukee Railroad). This shed along with the main ranch house and the other buildings are part of the Grant-Khors National Historic Site in Deer Lodge, Montana.
Mushrooms have been absent this year...but with the recent rain a few managed to pop up in the woods by my house. A tiny flying insect resting momentarily on the fungi cap.

Many poorly performing products aren't the fault of engineers or designers but of conflicting requirements. The original design of the Aero Buggy was for a slick, aerodynamic vehicle which would cut through the vacuum of space in a fuel efficient manner. Then the requirement for it to climb the steep walls of lunar craters was added and so the "monster truck" style running gear was added.
Despite this, the Aero Buggy proved popular amongst spacemen. This was due to its smooth ride over rough terrain and its windscreen, which kept the moon dust off the driver.
