I had a hard time deciding what to photograph this week. I seem to be in a slump for something fresh and new. I remembered that a few weeks ago I had walked around the Sandbox looking for shapes for a photography class. The lesson that week was being aware of shapes, lines, textures. These are a few of the photos I took for that lesson. There is the circle as in the birdhouse; a sphere of a seedhead of a giant Allium, the heart shaped leaf of Jack Frost Brunnera; a square or diagonal in a piece of lattice; the octagon shape of the stop sign; the oval shape of the Smoke Bush, a spiral on a piece of a sign; a bullseye of a knot in the tree and a vee shape in the crouch of the apple tree. The template this week was from CoffeeShopBlog called "to the nines'.
I will be joining our host Mary for Mosaic Monday. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. The shopping centres are packed with people this weekend as Christmas shopping becomes the focus of the season. I am trying to avoid it but it will catch up with me and I get panicing to get it done. Valerie

This is a great idea for a mosaic and looking for these different shapes around us is a good lesson in observation. It was a busy shopping weekend here too with the Canadian version of Black Friday!
Great captures of all the different shapes. The photos are wonderful. I avoided the shopping on Black Friday and this weekend. I do not like crowds. Have a lovely week!
Hi Val
You managed to capture many interesting shapes. I think we take so many things for granted that their true uniqueness is often overlooked.

Love the bold images in your photos. They make a lovely and interesting mosaic!
That sounds like a fun assignment! It certainly resulted in some beautiful images, too! Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
What a great idea for a photo assignment. ;-)
I like it, each photo has it's own character to it but they blend well. Happy Monday!

What a great mosaic!
Have a wonderful week,

I think it's good to change things around a bit - like the way to look at things. Just looking for shapes would make one see things in a different way.
I would say your mosaic is both delightful and creative!
Great idea to snap shapes and the mosaic works very well indeed.

Valerie, I like the idea of a "shapes" theme for you mosaic; it probably made you look at ordinary things differently. I'm looking around my living room right now and noting the various shapes!
Very nice...that one image looks just like a watch! I love it! ♥
Hi, I love your mosiac! All of the shapes are wonderful.
I like the creative way you presented all these shapes! It looks very artistic.
Good eye. Great composition in mosaic!
What a fabulous idea your mosaic this week. Mine seems so mundane after looking at yours. It is wonderful. I just love looking at all of your captures. genie
Photography class must be fun! I want to take one.
Really fascinating mosaic-- I can't stop looking at it!
