I love the outside-in progression…especially since I’ve NEVER seen tumbleweed in real life. I’m definitely missing something, as your treatment has an amazing texture to it!

YOU LET A TUMBLEWEED RIDE IN MINI ZOOM???
And in the front seat no less!
Did you two have a falling out or something? Please say it isn’t so!

You took tumbleweed?! Ha! Isn’t that federal property?! Lol.
The first time I “saw” tumbleweed I stopped the car and got out to take pictures. I’d heard of it but had never actually seen it. Isn’t that funny?! Happy WW!

What a funny progression. I was surprised by the next shot with the tumbleweed IN the car. LOL! As if this poor little tumbleweed was just looking for someone to take it in. Very fun and unexpected! :D

Never fear, Mojo… these shots were taken a little over 3 years ago, in July of 2005, and MiniZoom joined my small traveling family (consisting of me, MiniZoom, and TomTom) in December of 2006–a year and a half later. And Tumbleweed was in the backseat. He was that big.

The tumbleweed tumbled right on into the car! :-)

I’m so relieved! I just don’t think my heart could take seeing you and MZ fighting.
And now that I look at it, what I thought was a dashboard was the rear window ledge… Silly me.
So did Tumble run for it when he saw your sister pinching the heads off palm trees?
August 26th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Haha, that is just very awesome. Loved this muchly.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Funny you should mention that, Mojo… this is the road that goes down to the river recreation area where the palm trees photo was taken.

That’s great!
August 26th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
It looks scared to be in your car. I know fear and it’s definitely there!

i really thought the tumbleweed is right on the passenger seat just like what Mojo thought :D
nice shots!

You pick it up and bring it home as deco..
Great idea!!
Happy WW!

Loved that the tumbleweed finally found a home. Aw.
Mine’s up too.
Happy WW.

So that’s what tumbleweeds actually look like. I’ve never seen one, as I don’t they exist in my country. :) Happy WW!

Love the photos. It reminds me of my first cross-country drive. When I saw tumbleweeds in Wyoming I couldn’t believe they were real. Before that, I’d only ever seen them in Roadrunner cartoons.

I lived in AZ for a few years, but never saw tumbleweed. Great shots. Happy WW!
August 27th, 2008 at 4:58 am
I’ve always seen this in western movies. Now i know what it’s called. Cheers!
August 27th, 2008 at 6:06 am
I have never seen tumbleweed up close and personal…but now I know what ir is like! Great shots! Oh, and what did you DO with it?
August 27th, 2008 at 6:38 am
I’ve had weed in my car as well.
August 27th, 2008 at 7:08 am
FABULOUS
August 27th, 2008 at 7:37 am
That first shot is wonderful…the second, wonderfully funny. Happy WW.

My dogs leave balls of tumbleweed all over the house no matter how many times I Hoover. I burst into the tune of ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly when this post came up!!!!

This reminds me of the first time Jay visited me in the tri-cities. He HAD to have a picture of the first tumbleweed he saw. I guess we take them for granted (hah)? Still can’t believe you let the thing in your car. Those things carry sooo many lil creatures… and if you got it from around here it’s probably radioactive. :-D
August 27th, 2008 at 9:03 am
great shot!
August 27th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I used to love big wind storms with the tumbleweeds flowing across the roads, so many you could miss hitting them. They have their own kind of beauty!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
You found one small enough that it fits in the back seat? Wow!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
LOL! I didn’t expect to see that tumbleweed in the back seat of your car!!
Nice picture!
August 27th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
You KIDNAPPED a tumbleweed! You are like Butch Cassidy or The Sundance Kid or somebody else cool like that!
August 27th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I don’t know why but this post made me laugh. Cute pics.
Happy WW! ;)
August 27th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Great post. I love the tumble weed in the car.
August 27th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Tumbleweed in the car….nice touch!
August 31st, 2008 at 11:35 pm
LOL~ Thanks for the chuckle! I LOVE IT!
