Mary...that yellow really pops against the dark background and the long rectangular crop works so well here.! #11421240

Debbie Bray January 10, 2016

You've captured the detail right down to the last T, Mary, well seen, and captured! Love the bright yellow against the dark background! #11421241

Glad to have you as a link in our chain. You took simple, made art out of it Mary. I agree about how bold that yellow is and how it stands out against the black background. The framing and presentation are beautifully done, love that light with some shadow thrown in. Your details are fantastic, can even see the threads on the bolt. Super work my friend. You take care of yourself, be safe, enjoy the rest of the weekend. #11421623

Super clarity, colors, focus, lighting & find, Mary! #11421790

A very cool shot, Mary! #11422080

Aren't we all, girl-friend :)
Heehh! SUPER design, color and lighting and a very appealing image with lots of "provocative" thoughts. Well done!
Sorry, I have fallen behind again. Hmmm. Fallen? I wonder who pushed me! Anyway, there are so many distractions and I try to do all things at one time, so naturally I never get around to doing them all.
I hope you and hubby are well and happy. And I hope this year will be a wonderful year for both of you. #11422110

Just? :) Look at you there. You are a link that showed up with backup links! Re-enforcements! :))) You are a solid friend to everyone that knows you and I love this representation. Knowing you your image title is probably lyrics to a hit song in the 60's or 70's? (Because you are very "cool" that way!) I hope you are doing great and enjoying all the rain. HIDE THE CACTUS! They likely don't like all the moisture!? Stay Dry! :) xo -Pommy #11423350

Thanks for commenting, John and Pom.
Pom, this is one of Aretha Franklin's earliest hits (late 60's). Here are the lyrics:

Chain of fools

For five long years
I thought you were my man
But I found out
I'm just a link in your chain
You got me where you want me
I ain't nothin' but your fool
Ya treated me mean
Oh you treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools
Every chain, has got a weak link
I might be weak yeah
But I'll give you strength
Oh, hey
You told me to leave you alone
My father said, "Come on home"
My doctor said, "Take it easy"
Oh but your lovin' is much too strong
I'm added to your
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chain
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain, chain, chai-i-in
(Chain, chain, chain)
Chain of fools #11423556

Ah HA! I knew it! Heehee...Thanks for sharing. AND NOW I remember it! #11423561

I remember that song very well. This would have made a good record cover for the album! Well seen & taken=^..^= #11435052

Mary K. Robison February 15, 2016

Thanks for your thoughts on the song cover idea, Chris. #11435487
