Tishfish said at 1:59 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: I was just going to say, looks like that truck isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but it looks like it's hooked up to the low bed. . . . How long has that been there ?
Leftofcenter said at 2:02 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: most wasabi excellent closeups ("macros" u guys call it, I think?...) of course we don't know what to expect and then the camera pulls back, and voilà => moving day! the house and the truck remind me of an old couple, who's worse off, still, side by side. I like.
Lageho said at 2:35 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: I like this old truck. It must be a slow moving.
Sd14 said at 2:35 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Hi I Like it this is a eunque one of image i think you did well to catch this before it changes for ever it must have been a very hard decision to move & they changed their minds :-)
Wildthing said at 2:42 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: They ain't movin' nowhere in a hurry. Great truck. Is that a british bulldog on it? It's got character, like your terrific photos, Linda.
JuDeck said at 2:43 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Great Job!
This 15 minutes was so much fun. Next time we'll have to do more on the spot pull overs.
Moabjeeper said at 3:02 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Al it needs all a little TLC.
I think the bull dog is the Mack truck logo.
ConnieL said at 3:11 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Looks like something was forgotten on moving day. :)
Lifequest22 said at 3:24 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Thanks, ALL. And especially to Jude who came to Florida for a visit last week and stopped the car in Ybor City so we could take photos.
Doreen, I'm not sure, but I don't think it's been sitting there too long. I'm going to cruise by in the next week to see if it's gone.
Leftie, I love you metaphor--it fits perfectly.
Joe--It definitely was an opportunity to catch a dissapearing act.
Mike and Bob--It is a Mack Truck.
Yeah!!!Jude. Those 15 minutes were a blast. Next time we can spend the day driving around town looking for cool shots.
Lifequest22 said at 3:53 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Connie--I think they'll eventually notice. lol
Candlepower said at 4:39 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Wow! A Story behind this one for sure! Excellent!
Hairgirl said at 4:46 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Wow! Just the coolest parts on ole trucks! The bungalow is pretty swell! Thanks for sharing!
Hollyridger said at 5:40 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Superb tabblo.... so many interesting shots and such detail. Well done!
NeusinhaGedoz said at 6:43 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Simply amazing the sequence of pictures and details are available. . Belo tabblo.
Lifequest22 said at 6:43 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Thanks Doc, Pat, Gail and Noreen.... It was a blast to take the shots of these two old beauties.
Lifequest22 said at 6:46 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Thanks, Neusinha--I'm glad you liked the sequence.
Pkeener said at 6:55 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: WOT? what a great story you told through your photos! I love the close ups of the truck and your layout really pulls me along. I think my favorite shot is the frame within frame on #12. clever title, great last shot. drooling over the rust!
Pkeener said at 7:01 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: am I wrong in asuming this is an artistic sculpture?
Andre. said at 7:09 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: I truly love your spirit Linda. Great work
Bravemoonbearer said at 7:30 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Poor sweet baby.The trucks eyes look so sad but has cute dimples.Look like its been there for a long time.You and Jude were really hawk eyes in finding this and excellent hotos.This gives new meaning to a mobile home.
Cowgirl said at 7:33 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: HAHAHAHA This is a cool shot.....
Lifequest22 said at 7:46 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Pam--thanks. That house is being moved to a new location. I guess that old Mack truck can still haul just fine.
Sandy--you're right, she does have dimples. Thanks.
Thanks, Bobbi.
Andre--with a vision like this, one has to have spirit. Thanks.
AND BTW--If you look to the left toward the back of the house is a person with a camera--that's Jude. So I know she has some great shots of the house and truck too.
Lifequest22 said at 7:48 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Definitely a Keener inspired Tabblo.
Hhwind said at 8:12 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Wow what a catch never expected to see the house on wheels, cool
Lifequest22 said at 9:11 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Thanks, Teo. I was hoping the sequence would give everyone a little surprise.
Snooway said at 9:46 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: The closeup of the bulldog detail on the truck is great and the last image is a surprise for sure! cool.
Ira said at 10:57 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: I never saw so that it would be possible to drive away the house on the automobile. Especially on similar. Unusual composition and excellent photographs. Combination of complete destruction and beauty.
Fabio_DL said at 11:35 p.m. on Jul 1, 2009: Resilience!!! Great Tabblo, Linda!
Pkeener said at 1:59 a.m. on Jul 2, 2009: i thought that was the Judah!
sherlockhomes2006@***.net said at 8:44 a.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Great story thru the pixs!
Eduardo.affonso said at 9:10 a.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Beautiful! Our friend Pam would love this...
Pkeener said at 11:45 a.m. on Jul 2, 2009: awwww just saw the dimples...
21-gramm said at 11:48 a.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Wonderful pink rust, Linda! Fest for my eyes!
Lifequest22 said at 12:46 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Thanks for your comments everyone.
Sue--the Bulldog gives the truck some of it's character.
Edu. thanks. I thought about Pam when I was putting this tab together.
Den--always happy to provide you with a feast.
Ira--moving houses this way is common here in Florida.
Thanks, Cindy and Fabio.
Piapia said at 1:02 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: i love the "rusty" feeling =)
AliDar said at 1:14 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: I'm surprised to read that that truck is operational; it doesn't look it! Great set; I like the dichotomy! :)
Leftofcenter said at 1:28 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: the what??
AliDar said at 1:31 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: The contrast between how the truck looks like it is a piece of junk with how it is being put to use.
AliDar said at 1:32 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: ... Moving Day, but it doesn't look like it's moved in years. :)
21-gramm said at 1:44 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Hi, Linda! See ANTIQUE-RUSTY-VINTAGE, this week is YOUS!
Lifequest22 said at 2:12 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Thanks, Pia and welcome to Tabblo.
Hey Dar, thanks. I guess the truck is a trusty work horse. Can't always judge a book by it's cover. LOL
DEN......You are fabulous. Thank you for featuring 3 of my tabs on your ANTIQUE-RUSTY-VINTAGE. This calls for a Waltz. Kiss.
Lifequest22 said at 2:13 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Leftie--did you mean--WOT?
Leftofcenter said at 3:29 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: yes. da WOT. that's wot I meant.
Lifequest22 said at 3:33 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: LOL...
Chilla said at 5:16 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Linda this is a super Tabblo! Love the title! The truck looks as if it should feature in a children's story it sort of has a look about it, particularly in the first and last pictures!
Appropos said at 6:35 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: great tabblo... this sure is something you dont see everyday
Noe said at 6:37 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: The truck it's really cool... nice details Linda :o)
Lifequest22 said at 9:31 p.m. on Jul 2, 2009: Thanks Celia.--"The Little Truck That Could."
Farid--it certainly isn't a common site.
Thanks, Noe. I appreciate your comments always.
Erich said at 3:47 a.m. on Jul 3, 2009: Great sequence....I love the signs of decay on man made things. Great Tabblo!!
Shenresi said at 5:51 a.m. on Jul 3, 2009: wow, very impressive shots, Linda!On the first shot, he`s looking like he has a face, with two sad eyes.
Pachito said at 5:59 a.m. on Jul 3, 2009: Terrific pictures
Chaitiamma said at 1:35 p.m. on Jul 3, 2009: What a sight !!!
Debdog said at 1:37 p.m. on Jul 3, 2009: the house must be a historical one??? COOOOOL truck

Abking said at 11:54 p.m. on Jul 3, 2009: Beautiful decrepitude. You can't keep this pair down!
Karsten said at 1:13 a.m. on Jul 4, 2009: What a story Linda!!!!!! Love it ! surprising like "cristine" by king... - Just love this!
Lifequest22 said at 5:17 p.m. on Jul 4, 2009: Thanks everyone for checking out this pair of "oldies but goodies."
Charlespop said at 8:57 a.m. on Jul 5, 2009: Surreal !
Lifequest22 said at 1:43 p.m. on Jul 5, 2009: Charles--I guess these shots are a bit surreal. I went past the huse last nite and it's still sitting there but the truck is gone, so I don't know if another truck will be brought in to move it or if the house was moved to this location.
Kristn said at 4:42 p.m. on Jul 5, 2009: I need to ask my husband if he recognizes the house. He worked at a small architecture firm right outside of Ybor.
Lifequest22 said at 4:53 p.m. on Jul 5, 2009: Kristn---this is on Palm Ave., just a few blocks west of 15th St.
Ebucar said at 1:17 p.m. on Jul 6, 2009: So... this is for real? I agree with you Linda. The whole thing is surreal. Great tabblo, girl!
Welshchick said at 2:54 p.m. on Jul 6, 2009: It's a cute house and the truck is ...such a delicious shade of faded raspberry! GREAT TABBLO Linda
PhotoPop said at 4:48 p.m. on Jul 8, 2009: I got it. It is the a pretend house with a desiel inside and you drive it from the porch. IT is moving the Pink Heap to the "Truck Grave Yard" for its final rest. Can we hear an Amen. I like the shots, Linda.
Bxrgirl27 said at 10:56 p.m. on Jul 8, 2009: Awesome - the diff b/t this and the b/w is amazing! Well done! I saw The b/w version first, so when the first photo loaded, the old red truck just popped off the screen!
Lifequest22 said at 12:07 a.m. on Jul 9, 2009: Thanks, Elaine--yes it's for real. It isn't unusual to see a home being moved. Thanks, Rhonda--I love the trucks color too.
Jean-Emile---You are the first one to get it. LOL.
Laura--thanks. Jude and I had fun shooting this set and I think the contrasts turned out really cool.
Gerardfotografeert said at 10:16 a.m. on Nov 8, 2009: Great Tabblo Linda. Beautiful shots. great catch and fit into this excellent tabblo. It told a great story. The tittle is well chosen, it makes the antithesis stronger.
