When I was very young, we didn’t go to the store to buy milk; it was delivered to our house. On my trip to Chico a couple months ago, we walked through the antique mall, and I spotted an old milk bottle from Quality Dairy just like the ones that appeared on our doorstep in the 1950’s! Of course, I bought it, and I am using it to hold some of the Russian sage which is in bloom now. 
I added Kim Klassen’s waterfront 1 texture to each photo (usually 2 layers at varying opacity) and am linking up with Texture Tuesday today.

Those bottles are beautiful! To die for 😉 Love your texture work!
Beautiful shots, Melinda! I adore that second one – love the tones and the bokeh.
Love them all, stunning processing!
Melinda these are all just crazy great, love the light and all the angles, the shine on the bottles total WOW. Love.
Old milk bottles and Russian sage! What a winning combination. When my Russian sage blooms, I’ll have to get my pint milk bottles out. Aren’t they fun?
I love old milk bottles too! Love all your shots and your texture work is beautiful!
Gorgeous! Your images and texture work are wonderful!
What a grand find! Yes, I remember the milkman leaving the bottles at the front door, then we’d put out the empty bottles for him. I’d love to have those bottles today. Lucky you!
Great photos! I also collect milk bottles and have quite a few in different sizes. We use them for our milk all the time and it sure does bring back lots of memories.
I love old milk bottles! Your images are wonderful. I love the depth of field and textures.
Beautiful images, Melinda!
Oh how I love those bottles! Your images are so soooo pretty! I love the tones in the 2nd one and the pop of purple in the 3rd especially.
