Do you have an Etsy shop?
Would you like me to promote it here?

Here are a few more shots from my walk around The Auto Collection...

Classics

I'm guest posting at Amber's Articles today!
She asked if I'd share my faith journey and of course I said yes.
So grab yourself a cup of coffee then head over there asap.


...Now on to our regularly scheduled programming...

*****

I originally had only planned to go to the Iowa State Fair on one day during our visit, but since we really had nothing else to do on Friday we went a second time with my mom and stepdad.

Much to my surprise there was a small classic car show along the Grand Concourse.
I love classic cars. I know absolutely nothing about them, but they're shiny and pretty and that's enough for me!
Thankfully my mom was more than willing to take the kids while I took photos.
{Grandmas are the best, aren't they!? And our kids have three spectacular ones!}



I have no idea what kind of cars these are, but they are beautiful!




So shiny...




so sleek...



with loads of get up and go under the hood!

Trains and Industry

I took this shot in an industrial area of northern downtown Kansas City. It was a fairly foggy day and when you combine that with the old buildings, I though a vintage edit was the perfect things for this shot!

It also makes Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash play through my head!
I hear the train a comin'. It's rolling round the bend. 

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.

Wednesday Potpourri

Last Wednesday we left to spend Thanksgiving with my side of the family.
We drove through fog for the entire 4 hour trip.
While it didn't make for excellent driving, it did make for some neat shots and scenery!

This little guy lives in the oak tree in our backyard.
He and his family often come up to our deck to sun themselves.
...and occasionally bury nuts in our patio cushions.







Seth and I had a rare treat while in Iowa: a date!
No kids, no car seats, no pressure to be home at a certain time - it was bliss!
On the way there, I looked out my window to see the above. I thought it was beautiful and wanted to share!

We saw the new Harry Potter movie on our date. It was great!

This one is from the archives. 
When I saw that this week's theme/prompt was tire, I immediately thought of this shot. 

One recent evening while bagging the remaining leaves in our front yard, I looked up to see this small plane flying overhead. Thankfully I've become one of those crazy people who carries my camera with me everywhere. Even to bag leaves. I especially love that you can see the propeller!
