printing on old linen

I love this vintage nightshirt 

with the images of truck drivers and their delivery trucks from the fifties.

a interesting collage of vintage photo's

Libau Manitoba and a mosquito filled ditch.

I went with my nephew the other day to pick up a motor home in Libau north of Winnipeg Mb.

We were stranded for several hours because the vehicle had not been driven for many years and the gas was so dirty it clogged the fuel filters and eventually burst a fuel line.

With several hours to wonder the open prairie kicking stones and slapping mosquitoes I finally pulled my camera out of my bag.

It was a back road with to much sky and not much scenery so I was not very inspired.

I zoomed in on the water filled ditch and realized that even a ditch can be beautiful.

This first photo reminds me of a moorcroft vase or even molesworth wallpaper design.

this second photo was pure luck.

the little bird just flew into the shot and said hey what about me I am picture worthy!

I don't know what kind of bird this is but I will dig my bird book out and find out.

The third photo is also a closeup of the ditch water and I love how the reflection of the long grass 

silhouettes on the water and how simple and peaceful it all looks now.

The day was anything but peaceful we were stranded for about five hours with a crying baby and no mosquito repellant or water or food.
