More Journaling

This week's assignment in the online Studio Journal class I'm taking is to find shapes, patterns, and texture in our surroundings.  The first phase is to take a camera and collect pictures.  So there will be a lot of pictures in this post.  Just thought I oughta warn ya!

Since I live in a rural area, I thought this might be a difficult assignment.  The first day or so, I just tried to look around me with a little more awareness.  Once I got the camera out, things started to POP at me.  And now, I can't turn it off!  A ride to town has me bemoaning not having the camera - even though I have more than enough photos to continue with the lesson.  Like many other aspects of this course, this lesson may lead to a new addiction.  LOL!

Well, let's get to the pictures shall we?  First some circles.  There are a LOT of hay bales out this time of year.  And lots of flowers, too.  Easy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another circle in the guise of a wagonwheel.  Then some diamonds.

Now some rectangles - and a few circles as well.  These were the unusual ones mostly.  Actually rectangles are all over the place.

I was worried about triangles.  Where am I going to find triangles?  What do you think?  Why, once you start to look, they are everywhere!!  Power poles, towers, everywhere.

I also went looking for pattern and texture.  That one is easier.  An old wooden bridge, a weathered stone building, etc.  No problem!

 

 

I may have gotten a bit carried away with the "gathering" part of this lesson!  Time to go see what the next phase is.  Back to the basement.  The neighbors should be relieved - no more crazy lady with a camera wandering loose!

See you later.
