Rear Windows part 2

 To finish my posts about a silly collection of windows of cars and trucks in front of me in traffic over several weeks in Tampa FL before I retired.

Rear Windows:

Adding to my Sepia Saturday challenge, as well as Tom's Signs2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers is the local football team

Ah ha, I could read this expiration date, 03-08. Thus this was taken between March 07, and August 2007 when I moved to North Carolina.

wish I had that bumper sticker!

That is all, folks.

Rear Windows part 1

 

As I recover back at home, my photo opportunities are limited. Here's the April 15 view of fallen dogwood petals and transformation to greenery. Those leaves at the base of the tree were the early harbingers of spring a month ago...daffodils.

On a tangent, I'd like to recommend a short article on Substack by Robertson Work...which I've linked over on my blog Inner Workings. or go directly to his essay Being and Doing in Mystery and Ecstasy.

But let's consider Sepia Saturday for a moment. Suggestion of an old truck. I think I've already posted what photos I had in my files. Let's see if there's anything new available.

Our host Alan gives this information on the above photo:

Our theme image this week features an early twentieth century motor vehicle (the body of which, coincidentally, was built by my father's Uncle Albert). Leaving aside the family pride, you might want to use the image to prompt reflections on vehicles past and present, or, noting that the wagon was used to transport beer, you might want to take a diversion into the realm of beer bottles. And, as always, you can take a completely unchartered diversion to wherever you want - all we ask for is an old image and some new thoughts. Deliver them on or around Saturday 18th April 2026 and leave a link on the list at Sepia Saturday.

When living in Tampa FL until 2007 when I retired, I would drive busy streets constantly. Back before I was blogging, I already was taking photos thinking artistically. And at that point I had Picasa, a free photo editing program. So I formed collages with the topic "Rear Windows."

 

If you live  in a city, you stop in traffic frequently, and see interesting windows of the vehicles ahead of you...thus the rear windows.

I'm going to include some as individual shots too so you can see the details.

OK, to be continued. There are too many for one blog post. And if you're interested, help me figure out which year all those license plates were from. I can't focus on any so far...sometime on or before 2007.  To be continued.
