A once proud home on the Eastern Plains of Colorado is slowly fading into history with each passing season. This home has the earmarks of the classic prairie home complete with the rocking chairs on the front porch. Colorado has a tendency to remember it's rich mining heritage at the expense of the wonderful history of the high plains.
This area has a rich history and was once the home of the Cheyenne Indian nation. They hunted the Buffalo on these plains and the grasslands provided everything they needed. Farmers now surround the fading town and a mill now dominates the landscape. Soon this town will be lost to Colorado and it's rich history will be forgotten and as Coloradans we will lose a little bit of our soul.

There's something quite endearing to me about flowers that are beginning to fade. I like capturing their last moments.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
i am fading in the dark
the darkness is evolving in my soul
The pain is rushing through my veins
No one there to pick me up when i fall
I am just fading
Fading in the dark
This world is nothing but pain
And i have nothing to gain
No one to trust
No one the share my feelings with
I am just fading away
No reason for me to live
No reason for me to care
This world is a place very lonely and cold
Wish there was someone for me to hold
Wish there was someone i could trust
But i am just like the shadow in the dark
The more dark it becomes
The more i fade away
i am fading away
Just like my happiness....
Im just fading away
Into the darkness
Forever...
And no one can save me
Just fading away

Texas Photo Festival 2010, Smithville, TX
Continuing with the theme of downtown Smithville, here is an image of a faded advertisement from long ago. I was drawn by the layers of painted signs. The light and shadows that forms a star pattern occurred naturally.
Another time it might have been so different
Oh if only we could do it all again
But now, it's just another fading memory
Out of focus, though the outline still remains
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives,
So remember...
Like the story that we wish was never ending
We know sometime we must reach that final page
And still we carry on just pretending
That there'll always be just one more day to go
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
So remember...
Another chance hello, another goodbye
And so many things we'll never see again
Oh, The days of life that seemed so unimportant
They seem to matter now, but to count much later on
So far away, away, fading distant lights
Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world
And you know that these are the days of our lives
Remember
For this week's Get Pushed!! challenge, I was paired with the incredibly talented jayneboo, who is a gifted nature photographer and doesn't back down from a challenge, either! I hope you'll take a moment to look over her photos - they're quite breathtaking!
In return, Jayneboo issued a choice of two challenges to me. The first was to explore my hometown and create a photo postcard to show it off. Sadly, we were soon hit with a freakish October snowstorm that dumped anywhere from 4 to 18 inches of heavy wet snow on Connecticut. Not only was most everything I'd consider scenic and photogenic now covered with snow, but it was downright treacherous getting out!
Good thing I was offered a backup choice, which went something like this: "Think of your favorite film, TV series or book title and show us what it is - with no hints or tips - leaving it to all members of the group to work it out. I am banning Little House on the Prairie - too easy for you I think!"
So, with a challenge worded that way, I'm really not at liberty to provide much in the way of commentary on this week's photo. Enjoy!
**Edit / Update**
It took a little while, but my challenger herself (Jayneboo) as well as Hickamore Hackamore actually guessed correctly what we were working at with this photo. The sense of loss in this photo plays out many times in The Time Traveler's Wife and I wanted to try to convey that sense of disappearance. I could conceive of two ways to accomplish this: photoshop or multiple exposure. Since my skills in photoshop (or GIMP) are fledgling at best, I opted for the second method. However, the camera isn't capable of it. "Hmm. I got it!" I picked up a party store strobe light and set it to the slowest setting it had and left the shutter open for a couple seconds, half the time with my hand in Mrs SmileMoon's hands, then quickly jerking it out of the frame before the next strobe flash went off. She was very patient with me. :-)
Found this abandoned home in Summerville, Newfoundland. Looks like it was a nice property in it's day, and it has a great view, which I will post soon.
This tattered and faded Monarch butterfly was still sipping from milkweed flowers and laying eggs, although she is certainly in her last days.
Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song
Stepping out from a backdrop poster
Wishing life wouldn't be so long

This is lazy photography, I only walked 2 steps from the car in a quick dash to take in one of my fav places. The time was ticking away as I was on my way home.
This view is one I use to take in before I went fossil hunting. Seems a lifetime ago now. I must get out my hammers and hard hat this year and go foraging.
I think I love them just as much as they start to fade. Every year, their appearance just makes me so happy. Growing tulips in the desert isn't the easiest thing but most years, we manage to make it work. PA - routine. I am out every morning looking to see what is new in the garden. I couldn't believe my tulips started to bloom before I got home from our trip.

Five minutes later......and as the sun edges closer to the horizon the pinks give way to an orange glow.
Enjoy the end of the week. Back to work in the am....so catch up later. Cheers D&J.
First Manchester inherited eleven Optare Excels from the slice of Timeline Travel that they took over [Arriva got the other slice!]. The former 218 is seen on Bolton's Moor Lane bus station having been repainted out of 'Tomato Soup' and into the livery adopted for vehicles that didn't confirm to First's standard interior, not that the travelling public would know this. The lower expanse of white would soon be wrapped in the 'Barbie Pink' fade out vinyls which cost an absolute fortune and quickly became shabby looking [even more shabby than your usual First operated vehicle that is!].
6606 would become 60145 in the new national numbering system and the bus now operates out of Wigan depot, which is currently on the 'hit list' of depots to be sold off in the big First shake up of its UK operations.

"Fade Into Sunrise", Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Michigan
Photographed this one after staying up all night shooting time-lapse of the Milky Way over Lake Michigan. I was pretty much totally exhausted and falling in and out of sleep waiting for the sunrise. Then all of the sudden I looked up to see Sleeping Bear Bay illuminated from the early sunrise red glow in deep red, orange and yellow brew of color tones across the surface of the slowly pulsing water.

Still doing the 50mm thing. Had a family dinner last night, got another good shot of my brother and his fiancé posing for me that I liked enough to upload.
Note: Don't usually do these types of pictures with the faded color or with just a splash of one color since I think it looks rather bad. But this is what was requested again, so here you are.
Shot with available "light", it was rather dark in the restaurant. An iPhone was used as a distraction/lightsource.
