Oh Mr. Willys,
what rough roads have you traveled,
what sights have you seen?
How boring it must seem to you,
to end your days standing guard
over a field-
watching birds fly,
& horses graze.
Rurality Blog Hop & Cool Clicks Thursday
I think Mr. Willy thinks he's in Heaven, because that description sounds like Heaven to me!
ReplyDeleteawww. rusting away.
ReplyDeleteHow cool would it be to fix up that ol looker! =)
ReplyDeleteI bet it would have a lot of stories to tell! I love the rusted look and color.

It does make you wonder about the history behind it.
ReplyDeleteStories that truck could tell!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason - the tires don't match the body!!
They have tred and are NOT flat??
I learned to drive in an old 49 Willy, this brings back fun memories of that and 4 wheeling with my family.
ReplyDeleteMr. Willys...perhaps he watched several generations of young men returning from war and thinks his quiet retirement a bit of heaven.
ReplyDeleteIf jeeps could talk...
ReplyDeleteThat is a real fixer-upper with a lot of potential!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great photos ~ bet the Willys has lots to say if it could talk ~
ReplyDeleteCarol of (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
He looks very content to sit and watch in his waning years :)
ReplyDeleteHopped over from Rurality.
Oh I love Mr Willy and his photos make his age nothing but beauty. B
ReplyDeleteI loved your Mr. Willy ..we use to have one!!! and I love old trucks rusted and guted and in a field...and I love more a old truck that runs...heading down a dirt road..on a summer evening...aaaah that to me is heaven! Thanks for stopping by my place yesterday! I was so excited. May seem silly but it has taken me since 2010 to figure this blog thing out..and yesterday...finally I got noticed. I posted about my header if you would like to take a peak. I will come back here when I have more time...I like to look at everyones...total blog! In the process of packing nad moving..we are leaving alska for the sunshine state :)
ReplyDeleteWell it looks as if it's time to rest and retire - enjoy the sun...
ReplyDeleteand let the grass grow underneath your tires! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this old tarnished and rusty Willy!
I wonder how old that is? I love old, rusty vehicles and machines.
ReplyDeleteAwww poor old Willys!
ReplyDeletemy husband's life time wish is to own a 32 willy's coup. he would love this old guy
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my current velocipede.....
ReplyDeleteCool post. Thanks.
Ha ha, I can kind of relate to that old jeep. Instead of rust, I have wrinkles and stiff joints and have found my pasture. Life is good if slower.
ReplyDeleteEven though rusted, it's still a beauty to me!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this rustic Willys... Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #2' Hope to see you next Wednesday for #3...

ReplyDeleteIt looks as if it has a lot of stories to tell! Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteMy nephew inherited my husband's family's Willys Jeep and he is working to restore it. Love the image!
ReplyDeleteI so often look at something vintage, used, and standing sentry as you so eloquently put it, and ponder its hey-days. Love the captures and your questions to it.
ReplyDeleteYou sure make me think of my grandfather today. He was obsessed with restoring Willys. He had a couple of them.
ReplyDeleteOh one of my favorite subjects...old abandoned vehicles in a field...just love what you wrote! Thank you for participating in Cool Clicks!!
ReplyDeletelove that gorgeous patina. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Hmmm, don't know how boring it would be. Sounds peaceful to me.
ReplyDeleteIf those wheels could talk ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. I just love the blue.
