A few more photos to peruse

Around Biltmore village are a number of really interesting shops. I cannot afford to go inside them, much less buy anything from them. But a few of them have interesting art outside. The art tries to draw in potential customers. These Brass sunflowers are outside of a very nice Mexican Bistro.

I was walking around on Sunday morning and saw a mannequin outside of a clothing store. Truthfully it's outfit was a little faded and boring but then I looked a little closer...

Saturday evening at the Straightaway Cafe

Aw, Kimberly. What a nice conversation we had. Though she is a religiously conservative thinker, we were able to have a fantastic discourse on many things. I will remember our moments together with great fondness. Your future is ahead  and bright!

OMG! This little one could brighten the day of even the most jaded. She may not have understood what the funny thing hiding my face was, but she sure did know some funny looking guy was paying attention to her!

Her face was sooo expressive! Not a moment passed after taking this image, she let out a shriek of happiness!

Avery Creek UMC Car Show, Part 3

Still More...

This a nice shot of the pin striping and logo for  the 59 T-Bird.

I am not sure what this holds, But it looks really good!

Now this is the power Plant, Custom Built. Off to the bottom left was the battery, But I removed it because it interfered with the balance of the shot.What do ya' Think?

Avery Creek UMC Car Show, Part 2

Here are some some shots from yesterday

Mr. Heddon did all the work on this beauty. He's in the background with his schnauzer. I spent  a minute with is beauty. Enjoy!

If you look closely at the radiator cap, you nat see that it is also a gage. Mr Ford you had it going on!

If you look at the Spark plug wires, you will see they are not insulated. That one way to control the varmints under the hood. I was told that the shock would send a grown man to his knees. 

Avery Creek UMC Car Show, Part 1

Let's start with some Pinstripes. 

A Safe little nymph

I spied this little wood nymph celebrating Life and my camera made me do it!

I wonder what this guy is thinking? He sure could play that guitar well though

Old guy at straightaway cafe

I found this guy at a roadhouse on the way to Chimney Rock. The Straightaway Cafe is a really nice place with great food and music by the local talent. I don't know much about this guy, but his face tells so many stories.

A new, old ballon

There is a new consignment shop right around the corner from us and they have some pretty cool stuff. I liked this  lamp. It is a boy and girl on a whimsical trip to fantasy land.

And then there is Mary

This young lady has such personality. I love all dogs, but Mary is something special. She brings smiles to all who know her.

Fall is here

I took this au-natural. I did not move anything, not did I create the natural frame.

There was this contest whose theme was the season called Fall. The critique was that it could not be the way nature created it. The leaf placement was too perfect. O well. I know how the shot worked. It is nice and here it is for your enjoyment.

Opposing Brides Maids

I had the privilege to be a second shooter at an impromptu shoot, the first shooter bailed.  only had  my 18-55mm lens so I could only go close.

I wonder what each of these ladies is thinking.

Repairs take time

What can I say the tire needed to be changed.

My Mother, Taken by Her Granddaughter

I let my kid use my awesome camera and this is what happened.

My passions finally realized

So I am beginning to realize that I may have some little skill with my camera, and I have always loved beer. Well guess what? I can combine the two! I love technology!
