A Photo a Week Challenge: Playtime

Nancy’s Photo a Week prompt is Playtime this week, and I’m featuring some photos of us playing around amidst the street mosaics found in the South Street Philadelphia neighborhood.
Isaiah Zagar is the artist, and there is a museum, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, dedicated to one immersive space that he created.

We had a grand time wandering around the neighborhood.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Something New

This is not really a “photo-as-art” post, bear with me.
Learned something new. Origami box made from six 3×3” papers.

Envisioning new usage for the reject day job pattern printouts.

The progression of the folding, starting from bottom.

Hat tip to @embellish_or_perish for finding origami octahedrons at a charity shop and making me curious!

And to Google for the How-To Tutorial.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Tower

I’ve driven across the US many times and in the process I’ve developed some photographic obsessions.
Hay Bales.
Grain Silos.
Water Towers!

This is one I captured in Cisco, TX. cisco_inspo_750

See the fingerprints in the lower left?
I used the photo as reference for this pastel:

Do you have road trip obsessions?
