Mundane Monday
“Who can say what astonishments are hidden inside the most mundane being?”
Kate DiCamillo
Closed Gates
“What can be found,
behind door number two?”
Surely a question,
Answered only for a few

Day Four: “Natural World” — Leading Lines
* A good photographer is a constant observer. Out in nature, we have opportunities to watch and study a scene, from big, sweeping changes — like the sky at dusk — to the tiniest details.
Natural Lines (WP: Developing Your Eye II)
“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better” Albert Einstein
Purple Lines
Purple and wavy
Nothing too racy
Surely not a daisy
Just another pretty flower

Silver Lining
They say
“Every cloud
Has a silver lining”
Looking up to the sky
What do I find?
Fluffy white clouds
With fluffy white lines

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51
“Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”
The Birthday Boy
“Dig into the cake son”
The father urged
His head turned
As the birthday boy
Was about to enjoy
The much deserved treat
Which was definitely not meat
But a juicy summer’s strawberry tart
Made by mom, straight from the heart

The Cake
The aroma of the strawberry cake
We all knew, that was not a fake
It was all done for the sake
Of the birthday celebration on this date

Day Three: “Scale” — Experiment with Size
* A bakery in New Orleans, Louisiana, serves its famous king cake with a little plastic baby hidden inside. Here is one such figurine, posing on an iron fence in the Garden District during Mardi Gra
* Today’s Tip: Don’t just point and shoot. Observe your scene before pressing the shutter and consider how all the elements in the frame interact with one another. Make an object appear larger through a ground-level POV. Place two things side by side in an unexpected way.
Scale
“I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, ‘Actual’. I’m not to scale” Demetri Martin
Dudes
Dudes from the present
Dudes from the past
Many a time may have been spent
But they’ll always have a blast

Straight Line
“Who stepped out of the line?”
“Not I, Sir,
Not I!”

Bonded
Together we may be bound
But a more stronger
A bond cannot be found

Left Standing
I am still standing
After all these years
The times have been demanding
Shed my share of tears
But growing stronger
The much longer
I here keep on standing

Day Three: “Water” — Image Orientation
* We all have stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it symbolizes a place we’ve left behind, or one we dream of visiting.
Water
“I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir” David Bowie
Drip Drop
“Drip drop
Drip drop…”
“This will not stop,
Before my ears will pop!
Damned pretty rain drops!”
“Drip drop
Drip drop…”
