Three on Thursday

I'm joining Carole and friends for Three on Thursday, today with three random photos I found on my phone. Carole is at a conference, so I'm not sure if she'll be doing a ToT linkup today (it turns out she did, and she's shared a very interesting design thinking method) but I was clearing out my phone photos, found a few surprises, and decided to share them with you. 


This may look like just a yellow car with a missing piece sitting in a damp Walmart parking lot at night, but it's really my turn at playing Yellow Car with Ryan. You can click here for the full rules of Yellow Car. It is as ridiculous as it sounds, but if you get a chance to listen to Cabin Pressure it will make more sense and you'll laugh yourself silly. Yellow Car is in the Ottery St. Mary episode of Series 3, but all four series (plus Zurich) are fantastic. You can't go wrong with John Finnemore, Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, and Benedict Cumberbatch. 


This is from just a few days ago when I was walking down to pay the water bill in Elkton. I love how black and white it looks without a black and white filter, and the gathering birds made it even eerier.


For a bit of contrast, here's the sky on fire in Elkton. I noticed the light had changed indoors, and this is what I was treated to when I went outside and looked across the street. 

I don't often clear photos from my phone, but maybe I should do it more often as I found some pleasant surprises!

  1. The first sky shot looked a little ominous, but wow, that sunset photo is something else!

  2. Those are great photos and the yellow car thing is HILARIOUS! I drive a yellow Mustang, you know, and I don't think I'm ever going to look at it the same again. I love when he says the game never ends, you're always playing yellow car. Cracked me up.

    1. Thanks, Laura! I was struck by the wires and birds when I was looking at them and am glad that also shows in the photo.

  7. I have only listened to Season 1 of Cabin Pressure, so I had no idea Yellow Car was a thing!!!! (And now I'm inspired to listen to the rest of the seasons.) Love the other two photographs. That sky really IS on fire, isn't it!!! :-)

  9. I have Cabin Pressure, but have not as yet listened to it. Now I definitely will asap! With most of these being in Elkton, I wonder how you would rate this move as being good for you in expanding your horizons these days? I know it has been very stressful at times, but have you begun to enjoy parts of it? Now I will never be able to see a yellow car without thinking "yellow car!"

  12. The skies are beautiful. I too often notice the light indoors and walk out to see what is going on. What did we do before the photos on smart phones? I looked through mine this morning while waiting for my flu shot.

  13. Ok, I'm getting in on the yellow car thing. I wonder if I can get my sisters on board. You should go through your photos often enough to bring us more lovely treasures!
