TLLT, How it started
photo, syncros
I have always been told I have a unique way of seeing the world and have fun weaving stories connecting one part of nature to another.
Through Flickr and its vast collection of photos I have been able to make these connections come to life visually and to gently expand the view of the earth we share. We are so interconnected in shapes and colors, we live on a single floating rock, maybe that's why.
I like to think of the man in Africa and the woman in the US who have come together with others through their pictures to tell one whimsical story. Will they ever meet? Probably not. But in one small space of web they are unexpectedly side by side becoming a part of a visual tale or poem.
This way of seeing the world blend always makes me smile.

"Blog This" I only use Flickr pictures where the blog function is enabled. This means the photographer has allowed their pictures to be used in blogs. I only want to include people who don't mind being brought into a web world like this. I do not just take what I see.

The food theme works, then I see random, full clumpishness, glorious roundness of pie, magnificent curve of rock - I burst out laughing at the peanuts that seemed perched snails, then delicate insect pair, then the intricate, color rich butterfly on elegant blossom, followed by - potato chips? Well, the chips echoed the crescent rolls.
You draw attention things we often take for granted. Best not to try to put it into words. You're tickling my dormant gray cells.
Oh. Of course. The chips echo the petals. Funny that I reversed the pix.
Its actually popcorn.. the first one did look more like rolls this one is like cherry blossoms (the first version though gorgeous needed to be removed for a personal reason, otherwise I leave what I pick and what was the initial inspiration).. :) I really don't want to get into explaining "exactly" what I saw because I might take away another person's version of what they see but since I had to alter this one I wanted to explain. Things will not be changed if a so-called better version comes along unless the first picture is removed or lost, the initial pictures that inspired the story are what I want.
I also since I am here explaining anyway.. :) the bug is a single cicada coming out of its shell :)

thanks for the trains of thought. p.
i like the similarities between the peanuts and the cicada. as long as i've lived around cicadas, i have YET to see one emerging from its shell!
great blog. keep 'em coming!
I really like this set of photos. The Department of Horticulture where I go to school had a display of insect photography that they matched with blown glass and pottery, and I think of that when I see this. Art imitates life, does it not?
