Description

Not much rain lately - I found this old bottle imbedded in the creek-bed.

*If there is a message in this bottle it is still a mystery.... I left it undisturbed!

Great find and capture Jeff but with my curiosity I would have to see if there was a message and how old the bottle might have been. #10757689

You found yourself something interesting in this dry riverbed. But its the way you presented it that makes it so outstanding. I love the contrast of the sky and earth. That tree stump is a special look for the picture. I love the bottle and how you make it look so big and the dirt that covers it. Unique, beautiful, work my friend.
Have a great weekend my friend. #10757699

Well now look at you, Jeff. You have dirt all over your nice clean shirt. Oh, well. At least you dot the shot, right? And a good one it is. :D Up here we get grass stains shooting mushrooms.

I hope the message says, "Rain is on the way so keep me near the dry lake bed!"

HAPPY SUMMER and PLEASE STAY COOL down there!!! :)
