October Square: the Round White Barn

At the senior community where I now live, there is a round white barn, which is all that is left of the farm that originally occupied this campus – until the mid 1980s, there was a farm in the middle of Arlington Heights! Today for Becky’s October Square: lines & squares, I feature the door […]

October Square: Costume Jewelry on My Dresser

I wore this necklace that a friend made for me recently and realized it would make a good subject for Becky’s October Square: lines & squares. Each flat brown bead has its own unique pattern of lines. So I arranged it on my dresser to fit neatly into a square photo and noticed the dresser […]

October Squares: Animals of Tanzania

For, Becky’s October Squares challenge: Squares & Lines, here is a rear view of a zebra in Tanzania… the lines that ring a genet’s tail, lines on a lizard, lines that encircle an owl’s face, wrinkled lines on elephant trunks and bodies, ridge lines on impala horns and black markings on their rears and tails, markings […]

October Square: Garden Lines

For Becky’s October Square: Square & Lines monthlong challenge, here are my square photos of lines, taken in gardens.

October Square: My Cat’s Fur

Becky’s October Square theme is lines & squares. Today I feature my cat, Hazel. My cat’s fur is so smooth and has patches of brown among the black, typical of the “tortie” she is. This is one of my early photos of her, in which the lines of her fur are evident. I’m including the […]

October Squares: Nature in Art on Display

Here is my contribution for today for Becky’s October Square with the topic lines & squares. These are photos of artwork that I saw on display (except the last one, which I drew last week). Each one has definitive lines and each also incorporates nature into the artwork. At an art gallery in Poulsbo, WA: […]

October Square: Today is Brought to You By the Letters A, H and I

Some time ago I decided it would be fun, as I went about my daily routine, to take photos of anything that looks like a letter of the alphabet – not actual letters, mind you! Also, I made the rule for myself that I had to encounter them, so I couldn’t “set up” a picture […]
