very interesting

So we were all right Mary!!
I will inform the cast from Paint your Wagon we have found their missing wheel

Nice composition
Have a lovely weekend

What we all DIDN'T know, Mary, is that the rim would be gone!! So there you surprised me.

Oh ... I get it now !!!!!! it was one of the round wheel thingies that they put on Grand Pri racing cars. ;-) ;-) richard

Didn't guess there would be so much missing!!

Like the Old Crow song!

Wagon wheel...with minor flesh wound! The ring hoop, I suppose, has gone to visit that old hoop retirement village in the sky where there are no cobblestones to cause it pain and grief.
Or...perhaps it is in another part of your garden, chatting up the daffodils...

I like the shadow on the grass... an extra dimension

No Photoshop eh? Well Mary I understand that there is a good, free, photoediting program available on the web called the Gimp. I've not used it but have met some who have. They sing its praises, you might want to check it out. I was amazed when I first started using the 'digital darkroom', the things that can be done and the effects achieved are really unbelievable. It takes time of course and some would say it's cheating but then some might say using a car-jack to change a wheel is cheating too.

Bumpy journey ahead Mary! Good catch here.

So, there it is Mary! Beautiful composition. I like the texture and the lighting.

Nice to use in the garden, interesting feature with so much missing.

I love the imagery of just the centre spindle and spokes left, and the shadow cast over the remnants.

If only it could talk, the history it could possibly recall.

Very nice composition

Amazing, I thought it would be intact, this is a very unique piece of wagon wheel, I am surprised, thanks for sharing.
