Sunday Selections #12

Sunday Selections is brought to us by Kim, from Frogpondsrock.
The idea is to bring to light any old photos from your files that haven't yet been seen by anyone other than yourself.

To join in simply choose and post your photos under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim, then go on over to Frogpondsrock, add your name to the linky list and leave a comment there on Kim's post.

For this week, I've chosen twisted things.


Twistie tie, holding my phone charger cord neatly



Chip packet, twisted to exclude air (and creepy crawlies)





Tightly twisted





Technically a braid, but the ribbons need to be twisted to form that braid



Another one which is a braid rather than a twist



Fence wire twisted to hold tight



Last year's tendril

    I love your interpretation and attention to detail for noticing so many things that were twisted...I would have taken a picture of my mother in law. HA! Just kidding.

    I like the plant with the twisty vine the best.

    Your images are always so interesting and I love the themes you manage to pull together - such varied items all under a similar theme, very clever :)

    Toni; thank you.

    Jennifer; my mum-in-law is bit twisted too. My garden is full of tendrils like that.

    gaby; it's amazing how many things fall under the same "blanket"

    Elephant's Child; ha ha "twisted" pieces.

    The tendril twist is my favourite because it shows that mother nature is still alive and well in the garden :-).

    River, I would never think to put together so many disparate images and find a common theme, like you did. So creative. Love the tendrils.

    Kath; I saw your excellent post and I'm glad you've joined in.

    Windsmoke; garden photos are great, I can go out every day and see something new.

    Wanderlust; I never thought of myself as creative until I got the camera.

    Shae; thank you.

    frogpondsrock; I get a craving for chippies about once every two years.

    learncreatdo; thanks, tendrils are one of my favourite things.

    sleepydwarf; I spotted that fence twist on the way to work one day and had to stop and photograph it. (My camera goes everywhere with me now)

    What about Twisties themselves, those yellow critters they sell in a packet?

    When you come to Melbourne we'll do the twist in Brunswick Street, just to upset all the croissant eaters.

    Beet; I made that braid myself, now I can't remember how.

    Baino; macros are great, I love getting in close to see details normally not noticed.

    Cherie; feeling a little twisted? Sit, put your feet up, unwind.

    Jayne; thanks.

    R.H. the twist in Brunswick Street? Woo-hoo! Street party!

    R.H. no thinking involved; I know who I am.

    Great theme for this week! I think your braids are worthy of a place, but my favourite is the twisty wire!

    Very creative theme. I'm particularly drawn to the tendrils - they remind me of my sultana grape vine during growing season. And you actually get to reseal the chip packet? You have more self control tham me!

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
