Foxy, Futility and a Ford Galaxie
Scenes from today....
Quality time with sweet Foxy...
Afterwards, all by my lonesome and despite scenes from "The Blair Witch Project" running through my head, I parked my car on the side of the road and tromped on foot through a hayfield and into the forest looking for the lost phone. I was actually hopeful and confident at first...then disappointed. Mainly not for not finding it, but because I'd left my camera in the car and thus missed the chance to document the most charming, strange, white, dangly-belled mushrooms popping up in the unseen forest. It was a priveledge to see something so exquisite that will likely grow, die and disappear without any other human laying eyes on it. How infinite- the small things that play out completely independent of any of us oh-so-important human beings!
And after that, the boy and I walked to the nearby A&W for the weekly Cruise Night/Car Show. I so love getting photos of design details. Nothing nowadays holds a candle.
My favorite there was a 1963 Ford Galaxie. Same year as our Falcon and a year older than our Fairlane. Also pretty much the year-cap for me as far as the lines I like. Give me an early 50s small sedan anyday over the monster late 60s/early 70s muscle cars that seem to dominate the shows.
