Curly

41/365

I remember when my boys had curly hair…

Ringlets even…

But they were cut off long ago and they never returned…

When I read {curly} I automatically think hair…

Then ribbons, then a pigs tail…

It took me awhile to figure out what to take a picture of yesterday…

Finally I saw they {curly}, twisty, vines of my Wisteria…

I love my Wisteria…

While wandering in the yard I noticed tight buds on my lilacs, daffodils, new growth from my iris beds and shasta daisies…

I love Spring…

Pattern

I was excited about today’s photo prompt…

I am constantly challenging myself to learn more about photography…

Currently I am working through Michael Freeman’s book The Photographer’s Eye  and yesterday I read about {Pattern}s in photography.

“…pattern is built on repetition,..it is associated with area, not direction. A pattern does not encourage the eye to move in a particular way, but rather to roam across the surface of the picture.”

Initially when I think {pattern} I think, organized, planned out, expected…

But it photography at least, it can be chaos, messy, unexpected…

I love that!

Life is like that…

We seek a pattern…

A plan, organized, expected…

But our plan {pattern] often becomes chaos, messy, unexpected…

We {I} need to learn to embrace that and not fight it…
