Your Monday Photo Shoot: Patterns And Textures


"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment."

-Claude Monet

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Find an interesting patter or texture somewhere in your home. Take a picture of it.

-John Scalzi (By The Way)

One day I was out window shopping, I was just wanting to be out in the sun, when I passed by the window of a small women's specialty store, and there in the window was a beautiful pink floral scarf. The pattern was so beautiful, just pink roses contrasted with a lovely shade of green for the stems and leaves of the roses. Being a girly-girl I couldn't pass it up. I rarely wear scarves, unless it is on a really cool night, and then it depends on the outfit I am wearing, so I use the scarf as throw for a small table I keep in my bedroom. On top of the scarf is a pretty art-deco vase, with a pink silk rose, and some rose scented potpourri in it. The day I bought the scarf, I couldn't take my eyes off it's pretty pattern, and even now, all these years later, it still makes me feel happy and calm just by looking at it. :)

Very pretty, and I love your description...those items that catch our eye and bring us back to certain memories or take us to certain places emotionally are treasures to hold on to.
