Rust Rigs: The sequel

 My creativity comes to life with renewed enthusiasm, when it comes to taking photographs of unconventional things. So when my husband and I drive the highways and back roads of Oregon, we will frequently come to abrupt STOP's......to take pictures of old rusty yard cars rusting away in hayfield's, barns and junk yards. We’ve been greeted by old guard dogs (lots of barking, no biting), bulls, geese (the geese are meaner than any of the bulls or dogs!), wonderful friendly farmers and cute little ol’ladies who love to tell stories about their lives.

Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!
