I’m having another woo-hoo moment. Lately, it’s been happening more frequently. At one time, I was an above normal psychic type person. I hate being a know it all, but I could tell what was going to happen – just not exactly when, much too often. Over the years, I trained myself to tune out. Unless it’s life threatening, or an emergency, I’d pass, thank you.Β Coincidence is cozy enough to live with. I didn’t need to calculate the odds of events occurring in my life anymore.
A couple of days ago I was mentally preparing my next blog. I have a couple of very old photographs that were going to form the basis for my post on windows. Not the Microsoft Operating System … of which I could write a 1,000 words. Mine is on life support and I’m learning how to walk using a Chrome tablet. Lot’s of up and downs and mistakes going on, but that’s a different dirty window.
Enough negativity. I actually wanted to post useless pics of windows I’d taken through the years. Today’s Weekly Photography Challenge appeared and ‘hoot’, for once I’m ahead of the curve. I’ll take the lucky bit of timing and go with it. Hopefully, as I’m posting, some meaningful composition will form and I won’t just burp and serve a plate of unattenuated pixels to my followers. Please leave a comment and let me know if I inadvertently caused any indigestion.
I love these photographs, Charly!
Thanks, Issy. It was fun getting some use out of old pics.
I love the narative. I’ve yet to have a hoot moment. Thanks for the like, btw.
Oh, I do hope you get one soon. I also stock my pantry for the same reasons as you. Loved reading your post. Wish more people cared.
:-)!
I suspect we are not alone. Your profile photo is lovely. I hope you know that.
Certainly not alone, perhaps more likely to defend those in need? Thank you for the compliment on the photography. I’m surprised by the response blogging has had. Still lots to learn, and fortunately, a lot of good bloggers to learn from. I’ll be seeing, and chatting, again. π
Your images are fantastic … atmospheric! Brava!!! π
Happy you like them! You comments always make me feel good.
No indigestion here…and let’s hear it for woohoo moments!
Yeah, no need to fast track the tummy aids, lol. Thanks for stopping by π
Love woohooing in public:)
No indigestion! Just a lot of cool pictures. Love that blog title, “The Road Less Paved”. Cute!
Thank you, a lot of gravel roads up here in the marshes. I swear I hear banjo music when my grip tightens on the steering wheel and I’m wondering how long it will take me to get to the next paved road.
These are hauntingly beautiful!
Thank you. If all windows could talk. I remember a window in a childhood friend’s home. His mother always sat looking out the window. She never came down and walked around the neighborhood. Perhaps, because the parents were German refuges, it was only a few years after WWII. Several years after the family moved to the suburbs her image was still visible in that window’s screen. It was as if a photograph had been taken of her.
What a wonderful story. My German family struggled a bit with “Americanization” as well so I can imagine her hesitance!

Love the idea, thanks for the invitation! I’d be more than happy to participate. See you soon. π
Beautiful photos…. Can’t pick a favorite, they are all great. Ok, the cat one. And killed in Arizona. And windows on windows. And wipe your feet. And the one with horseshoe. And… Ok, you get it. π I love the dresses, are they from 1920’s?
I think the dresses are circa 1910 to 1920’s. I never did find out if there were for sale or only for display purposes, but they had many available at the time I have to think at least some were for sale. It was stunning, and the women were so small back then. Thank you for the compliments, it made my day π
