I shot these photos back in April when we were visiting friends in eastern Pennsylvania. I spotted this old, worn out, dilapidated chair in the back corner of their yard and thought it would make an interesting photo. I never did anything with the photos however, until now. The theme seems to fit, though. Enjoy.
P.S. Submitted my last paper yesterday afternoon. I have a LOT of blogs to catch up on but I’ll try to get to everyone over the next few weeks before the next quarter begins. I missed seeing y’all and look forward to seeing what you posted while I was gone..
Welcome back…you were thoroughly missed and needless to say, you are back with a bang!!
Why thank you, Kamakshi! It is good to be back. I have a LOT of reading to do to catch up with everyone but I look forward to it. As usual, I appreciate your stopping by and pausing long enough to leave a comment. Have a wonderful day.

Welcome back, Cecelia … so good to see you again! Take it easy with the catching-up … there’s no rush.
Loved the picture … that’s really “worn”!
Rebekah,
It is good to be back, and great to see you here. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
Lovely colours: the distressed paintwork works well with the fresh new flowers
Thanks! I don’t know how long that chair has been sitting out in the yard, but it made for some nice photography! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.
Congrats on submitting your last paper! Lovely take on the theme!
Thank you very much! Now I can get back to a “normal” life!
Hi Cecilia, I love those chair pics especially the close up one -and thanks for visiting my blog! Regards from Germany,Uta
Thanks for stopping by, Uta. Glad you enjoyed the pics. 🙂 Have a glorious day!
beautiful pics!
so great to see your posts again 🙂
Thanks Doris. I missed y’all! Have a wonderful day.
Welcome back, Cecelia. I agree with what Pseu and nrhatch, among others, have said. You are so others-oriented. I hope your family has a Happy Father’s Day.
Thank you Barbara! You are so sweet. Glad to be back and seeing my old “friends!” Have a great day.
Welcome back! Congratulations on submitting your last paper.
Lovely combination of complimentary colors in your photos. And, a wonderful interpretation of the theme – worn.
It’s a good thing you took photos of the chair when you did. That chair looks like it’s just about worn out!
LOL–Yes, I rather doubt the chair will survive til my next visit to that part of the country. Glad you liked it! 🙂 Have a great day.
good to have you back cecelia! nice chair, lovely colours.
Thanks on all counts, conspiracyofravens. I’m glad to be back. 🙂
Gradually becoming at-one with the flower bed 🙂 Nice
Yes! Quite interesting how something we view as worthless, worn, ready for the dump heap, can look so beautiful set amidst the flowers in a forgotten corner of the yard. Thanks for stopping in and for leaving a comment. Have a glorious day!
While it’s fading that splash of red still packs a visual punch… very cool, Cecelia!
Thank you SIG. As strange as it sounds, I love that weathered chair…something very artsy. Glad you like it.
Welcome back Cecelia! Love this picture as well! The flowers look lovely as well!
Thank you. It was a pretty cool discovery for me, and very photogenic. I think I’m going to play with it more…maybe try B&W with a splash of red. If it works, I’ll post it. If not. . .
Oh soooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Sheetal.
Like the chair. Jig saw puzzle material I think. Looks like it has outlived its occupant.
Cool idea! I never thought of a jigsaw puzzle, but yes, I would have to agree with you. Thanks for stopping by and pausing long enough to leave a comment. Much appreciated.
