You said it, Laurel ... nice! :)
i'd say beauty actually increases.
and unless someone comes along with a blowtorch, the beauty lasts longer than any of us!
very nice sex words (hahaha honest to god, i meant to type 'six' words but look what came out!)
have a great saturday, ms. lo who i love
I hope the same is true of myself. lovely. wabi-sabi things.
Thanks...I love old, weathered pieces. They really speak to me.
KJ, the last 2 photos were taken in P'town :)
The top one was taken at a wonderful shop in Tiverton.
The weathered bench is great. I'd love seeing that on my front porch.
Your six words are the same for people too. I love to see where age takes us when we approach it with health and dignity. Not so much though when it show a life in someway sadly abused.
Well, heck, I got my Saturday morning off to a serious start didn't I?
Love it !!! Great beauty and composition in found "stuff". Very nice.
I agree! Love the pics. :)
Perfect six words.... and, as already said, they apply to so many objects - inanimate and animate... it would be a better world if more "weathered things" were indeed treasured.
Beautiful shots, dear Lo.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
These are so beautiful, love iron work,the more weathered, the better. Thanks for sharing these, hope you have a fab Saturday!

Big hug,
Marja and a kiss from your Beaudor
Lovely words and images :) they fit together well.
Those are beautiful! They become even more beautiful with age
Your studio and community grows and grows and just gets better and better and better!
My immediate thoughts also were that you were speaking about me.
Grin,,
That would be me, weathered and aged. I wouldn't say the beauty part though. ha...
Yes... as age and beauty can travel hand in hand :)
