Nice picture Arfie. It is cool to get out and explore, see what you can find so to speak. I love doing that, just going for a drive in the country
Having some fun looking for stuff to take a picture of.

I think photography is a wonderful hobby for people with mental health to get into, it keeps them in the present, it gets them outside and doing stuff. Plus they can come back and edit pictures into some really weird and wonderful things.

I hope you are feeling better getting out and about..

Oooh, neat!

It's not graffiti, it's "folk art". (Or so went the defense in a local case recently....)

I will have a butterfly barge.... *sigh*

My own photography is mostly need-based, CC. Most of my published photos were clicked because I was what was available to walk the walk and click the click. I still think of myself as more engineer than artist. Far more. My entire engineering puppet show cast just stood up to throw popcorn at me. . . Sigh. . . The puppets in my head are a mean bunch. . .

Leo, Maybe this particular "folk art" is just a company blessing to get to the good stuff after years of loyal service. . . This particular barge was at the head of a string of five barges with the same graffiti marking. Who knows. . . I certainly don't. Just gee whizicating. Small steps, big faith and lots of prayer.

While I was browsing the web site of the barge company to the side of this barge string, I came across a job listing for a cook on the river barges. I applied on housewoofey impulse. . .
