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: Water

With this week’s theme of water, I offer some images from my On the Edge US series.
This was a project tied to a road trip that I took in 2014, circumnavigating the US as close to the edge of the contiguous 48 states as I could get on US highways and Interstates.

Each “edge” has an ocean, a gulf, or lakes/ rivers.

I applied the watercolor look to my photographs using the Waterlogue app.
There are smart device and a desktop versions available.
