Just an Old Truck...



...That's all it is.




Just an old, rusted truck.



But my heart skipped a beat at first sight of its broad grin, cracked windshield, rounded lines...



...the speckles and splashes of rust and primer...



I just love old trucks.


Don't you?

  2. Old vehicles have lots of character don't they? You've captured this old truck perfectly Barbara.

    And I like all your turtles below!

    Happy Friday!

  3. Love it! Up at our lake condo there is a person who drives one of these exact trucks but it's in excellent shape and fire engine red! I've been wanting to photograph it but feel funny about doing so.

  11. The car photos reminded me of the paintings of cars in US settings, by John Salt [a Birmingham [UK]artist]whose work I saw recently.
