October Lines & Squares # 1 – Wooden Box

Lavender lines for day one

***

Today we start another month long challenge, hosted by Becky of “The Life of B”.

This month’s theme is Lines & Squares

We try to find & photograph anything with lines of any kind, such as straight, wavy, curved, etc.

The most important rule of this challenge is that your photo Must be Square!

To join in, find out the details, and see other entries, just click the above link. It’s fun! 🙂

I’ll also be adding a song to go along with the photo in one way or another.

Enjoy!

This is a very old wooden box, with divided squares lined up in rows. There are 24 segments in all, and the side of the box showing is faded red.

I saw this in a restaurant as a wall decoration.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fashion

Today Cee wants us to consider fashion.

It’s fun to look back at how fashions come and go over the years.

The first photos are from a coloring book I have that show fashions from the 1950s. There were lots of prints in fabrics, and women wore dresses a lot of the time. These shown have fitted tops and mid-calf poofy skirts.

A lot of the time people would sew their own clothes from paper patterns. I know I did. I took home making in school, where we learned to use a sewing machine, and work from these kind of patterns.

This is a photo of one of my patterns to make aprons.

***

 

A visit to an antique store had lots of old fashioned fashion clothes. I don’t know from what era these were from, but the clothes were very fancy looking. The red dress was so pretty, and the mannequin was wearing a red hat, too. Hats were very popular back then. There were many racks of fancy dresses to look at or buy.

Kansas City Missouri Fire Hydrant – red with black top

Our local fire hydrant – silver with blue top, and red hose attachments

Red fire hydrant & black & white spotted Dalmation dog – salt & pepper shakers

Another view of S & P shakers (dog seems to be peeing on the hydrant)

Not a great photo, but it shows some firemen making a water test on one of the fire hydrants here. They do that every so often.

This cute little fairy garden was at my daughter’s house. It has a tiny fairy house and a fairy with wings. She’d put it in a dirt filled flower bed, and it is surrounded by lots of green leaves.

Five different lizards!

The first one I know is a skink. He looks brown, white, & black scaly. The next one is kind of gray, and the next one has bands of stripes of gray, yellow and pink. The next one is a horned lizard, and looks like a tiny dinosaur of brownish gray. Last is a chameleon lizard, and then a funny sign at the pet store that shows a cartoonish green lizard with a big head. He is saying “My mother thinks I’m cute”. 🙂

We were to get a very close up photo of a flower, so here’s the zoomed in one, and the regular photo.

I think it is a lily. It is deep purple/pink, with tall green stem in the middle, with orange bits, too.
