| a turquoise ceramic peacock ~ found at the entrance to NITT WITT RIDGE |
This week's SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY was difficult! here's what I came up with for this week's list of words:
Before & After, Opposing Lines, Custom Bokeh, Which Shoes Should I Wear? & Little Features.
 |
| BEFORE & AFTER |
 |
| OPPOSING LINES |
Curves, scallops, straight lines (horizontal & vertical)... JPE & I drove by NITT WITT RIDGE, to get this picture of OPPOSING LINES. This house has to be one of California's most unusual, colorful examples of folk art! Created by Art Beal (he was also called DerTinker Paw by the residents of Cambria Pines), this residence was built entirely from scavenged materials, discarded objects picked up during his walks, or the items left out for the garbage collector.

| BOKEH |
Okay - this isn't the best example of BOKEH, but it's definitely on my list to learn... BOKEH, a word of Japanese origin (spelled "boke" & pronounced bo-keh), means "fuzzy"... in the photography world, it is the fuzzy or blurry composition of an "out of focus" picture.

| WHICH SHOES SHOULD I WEAR? |
Of course, these are the SHOES I should be wearing every day (or at least 4 days a week). I can't use the time change as an excuse NOT to get out for an evening walk... JPE is a "ready & willing" walking buddy! But, slipping into flannel jammies after work is certainly tempting!
 |
| LITTLE FEATURES |
A couple of LITTLE FEATURES found on the bookcase ~ two dice! One die is wooden - never noticed the scratched, dirty surface of the smaller, white die (that always sounds odd to me) - bought them at Remnants of the Past.

Cool shots :)
ReplyDeleteGreat set, I found this week hard too, love your bokeh, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your shots. The bokeh is gorgeous and I really love your opposing lines shot.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and great interpretations. Happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteThese are great, that bokeh is just amazing! And I almost did dice for little features! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos...the small dice were a great take on the little features prompt. They have such a nice vintage feel to them.
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful ! Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteNicely done - I really like your opposing lines shot.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is an interesting building! Great source of opposing lines. Thanks for sharing the background on the image too, that is the best. So happy to have you joining in with Exploring with a Camera!
ReplyDeleteit's interesting that the BOKEH has been commented on so often! I have no idea how I took this picture. I need to be more intentional about my photography skills.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun thing to do and your photos are super. Thanks for the BOKEH site, I haven't a clue how to do it and I really want to learn. (-:
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love your opposing lines and bokeh shot. And what great interpretation of little features!
ReplyDeleteI love that peacock! Your camera skills are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNice set. Opposing lines is great
ReplyDeleteBokeh is stunning, but I actually was drawn to your opposing lines from Kat's link up. Great find.
