  Traces Of  Time Can Be Seen In Nature.

waiting another month for the summer shot.

Here's my last installment for the theme; thanks, Jimmy, it's been fun!

the  end

We went fishing this afternoon, and I was just walking around and spotted this fella.  Anybody got a clue what kind he is?  He was rather large and didn't scurry away when I was taking his pic.....he was kinda strange looking, though.....thanks in advance for helping me.......

Hope y'all enjoy!

Been a while since I've last posted.  I've been busy working on projects around the house, but I wanted to submit an entry for the weekly challenge...

In the woods behind my house are several old Edsels that seem to be lost in time.  I like the picture best in Black & White  My mother seemed to like the cars too.

I also found the remnants of an animal carcass that I thought looked pretty interesting in B&W.  Looks a bit eerie.

And here's a couple of others unrelated to the weekly challenge...
I found this friendly Wolf Spider the other day and was able to capture this lightning strike during a storm this evening.

Possibly two traces of time in one.
What appears to be a grave stone next to a fallen and rusting lamppost next to the gates of a private cemetery. Age of grave unknown. The other graves in the cemetery were dated aprox late 1800's if I remember correctly.Lamppost and Headstone

  Am trying another entry for the theme..think they will fit the category..We were at the in-laws this evening (and did remember to take camera along).
  Years ago my father-in-law had a Gas Tank on his property that was used for the farm equipment. For all you young folks we used to pay this for gas.. ``` and ``` , believe it or not.
  It amases me that this Structure is still standing, there are all kinds of 'things' in the shed, for some reason this Chain caught my attention before coming to the old  Chevy..went around another structure and these  angels drew me, don't think the gauge had any water in it, but can tell that it has been there for some time.
         Ah, the good old days when gas was cheap.

We took a walk and saw this old boathouse2 sitting on a pier

This old boat 2  was next to the old building

This old plug  was hanging on the side

This old life-ring hanger  was still there

Once this was a thriving place.  Now it is lost to time.

Ok, I admit I'm the one posting all the low quality shots.  I happened to be lucky to travel around a lot for the past 3 years, and Europe is such a great place to take photos as everything is so different there.  Here are some more of them.  Don't look if you crave for sharp images.

Taken from the inside of a fortress in Portugal, you can see the castle wall and trenches.

A fortress situated on the south coast of Portugal.

The building in the background is the famous Palace Versailles.

This might look like a boring building, but it's the first slave market in Europe.  Here is the trivia question for you, anyone knows where this is?

Finally, a structure like this will always stand the test of time.

These wheels have seen a lot of miles and time, I have taken photos of them before in the snow. Each year they become more picturesque as they decompose in to the basic elements. I took this set in a light rain. I hope you like them keywordW1 W2 W3 W4 W5 W6 W7 W8 W9 W10 W11 W12 W13 W14 W15 W16 W17

In a few hundred years - this tree sap will become Amber.

A dead tree found while on a 'walkabout'  

has fallen, and is now waiting for a fireplace.

I do not know the history of this building. I know that it has been a bar an grill and a club. I will do some research on it some day....
I am trying not to put so many shots in. I know they are hard to keep up with, like I did on my church post.
Here are just a few of the many I shot:

 smoke stack 13 smoke stack 19 smike stack 6 smoke stack 8 smoke stack 9 thumb smoke stack 10
