Orphan Photos 3

These orphan photos have been lingering for a little longer than I had thought: not terribly long, but I was surprised to see them still in my blogger queue.

You might recall my recent photos of the rainbow lights on the bridge. This nearby house caught the corner of my eye, so I strayed over for a better look. I love the lighting and the curving path. While I would have liked to get the whole doorway in the photo, I was already trespassing, so I didn't venture any farther.


On a walk with Sue by the abandoned factory, I photographed the window along with the alarm. It's an interesting juxtaposition, and I also like the vegetation emerging from the window.


A photo of failed expectations: no shifting this lot in that car.

While others were fishing for free without a license on Father's Day weekend, this lad found a quiet spot to check his phone. He was well-framed and in good light.

Someone asked to see the flowers on the silk lilac tree-bush that I recently posted about. When I walked back there for this photo, the fragrance was almost intoxicating. They are definitely not like regular lilacs, but they are just as fragrant or maybe even more if that is indeed possible.


I could go on, but I that is enough for now. I will likely return with more orphan photos in the near future. I do accrue photos at quite a rate after all.

  1. All of these I love -- they have such mood to them. That window is fascinating and I love any house with fairy lights year round. That arc of the tree is especially graceful.

  2. All the photos portrayed here are stunning and amazing, especially the photo of the man sitting under the tree near the lake. It looks spectacular and very peaceful to me.

    This photo shows a peaceful lake surrounded by green trees. A large tree bends over the water, creating a natural frame. Some ducks are swimming in the lake. A person is sitting quietly under the tree, enjoying the beautiful view. The place looks calm, relaxing, and close to nature.

    That is sick, my man!

  3. These are such lovely photographs. The first one is very evocative - I can see why you were attracted by it. I like the one of the solitary boy, too - it should have a poem to go with it.

  5. I like the window of the factory. How many people simply walk by that and never even consider photographic potential.

  13. Short of knocking on their door, that fairy lights house is very interesting, and old! Unless it's a warning, I'm trying to figure out why the alarm is bright pink. Tempting to trot down to City Hall to find out the history. Linda in Kansas

  15. Thanks for sharing more of your orphan photos. I'm sure many of us have similar collections. The boy at the lake and the vegetation at the window are beautiful images in your collection today.
