Travel fragments

One thing I notice about photos that Fiona and I take on our travels is that rarely do they include people; and often they are photos of fragments or the texture of things.

I still need to sort my photos from our trip to the US in Nov-Dec last year; but because it is Wednesday I thought I might share a few of the fragments taken with the iPhone.

Sometimes it is the line that catches the eye; or weathered texture; or the contrasts; or the quirky nature of an assemblage; the play of light; a shadow ……..

    What a delight! One wonderful treat after an other. I felt very moved by the piano and just loved those fluffy seed heads. Thanks, B!

    Great photos...the piano my favourite. It's amazing what colours, textures, and shapes can be found in the oddest places.

    VA, C, GB JM, B & Ruma - thanks for sharing those fragments with me. After a trip one can have so many images - why is it that some just capture the spirit of the journey more that others. VA - it always is a delight to catch up with the true blog tribe. C - I truly loved that old piano. GB - thanks. JM - thanks. B - I'm thinking some will make good prints for our next printmaking exhibition. Ruma - thanks - glad these images bring joy. All - go well. B
