Kicking Back

We are on out annual spring trek to Moab for the car show, and the chance to catch up with good friends. The weather has been great, the car show and Main Street drag were lots of fun, and we've just enjoyed the chance to relax and kick back. Take a look, need I say more?

Catching Up

I have not been very present on the blog.  I have not been spending as much time on the computer, because I have actually been spending it in the studio!  I've made good progress on my 'Green' piece for Tangled Textiles.  A good thing, because I have to finish it and get it posted before I leave for Reno on May 26.  Sorry, no pictures until the reveal!

And I still have lots of pictures I took at the Moab car show to post.  So here are some more- when it came to the cars, I was in to front grills and wheels.  I had fun with this!

  I played with this one in Elements- I think it has definite possibilites as an inspiration for a pieced quilt.  Love the green reflection on part of it!

 Wasn't there a poem about wearing red and purple together when you get old?  Maybe that's why I liked this one so much.

 I think this is on a rusty road rat.  Out of the ordinary, for sure!

 This was one classy car- I'd never seen a hood ornament with color before.

 Look at that combination of straight and curved lines!

I swear some of the paint jobs looked three dimensional. 

Look closely, and you can see me and my friend Phyllis in the reflection.  I think I could have fun with this one too!

I am off for the rest of the week, traveling for work.  Then one more week before I take off again for a week of camping in the Sierras with my brother.  I am so looking forward to relaxing, hiking, and picking his knowledge of photography and cameras.  And, I am looking forward to a relaxing train trip there and back- no airport hassles, no having to drive!

Criusing, Moab Style

We spent the weekend in my absolute favorite Utah town, Moab.  It was the weekend for the Classic Car Show- and I took enough pictures to fill a week's worth of blog entries.  It was fun, relaxing, and really is a weekend for boomers who love their classic cars.

Saturday night (after the big show in the park) everyone cruises Main Street.  All the way through town, people are staking out their sidewalk space to get the best view.  I'm sure the truckers, mountain bikers, and others who are caught up in this wonder what the heck is going on.  So enjoy my night that brought back teenage memories of cruising down Harbor Boulevard with my friends!

Love that asymmetrical spider web grille!

This weekend was my first look at road rats- really low to the ground, rusty body, but pristine engine.  There were quite a few of them in the show.

Ah, yes- take me home, Jeeves!

We have that parade wave down really well!!

One last look, south down Main Street.  One of my favorite eateries, Moab Brewery, is barely visible on the left.  

Low riders and semis- an interesting juxtaposition!

Couldn't resist snapping a picture of this fellow boomer with the cute smile.  That pretty much summed up the weekend!
