So..here are the piles I found yesterday, interesting only because they were all occurring simultaneously. And I was just going to slap them on here one after another, but in the interest of learning how to do something new, made my first photo collage!
Clockwise from upper left: pile of bro; pile of clothes; pile of snacks left by aforementioned pile of bro; pile of homework.
That is precisely what every afternoon looks like around here.
But my mind just wouldn't let go of the whole pile thing, none of the pictures was the least bit interesting, so I grabbed my pile of dead rosebuds. Yes, I actually keep piles of dead rosebuds lying around. In this lovely dove shaped pottery. Weird, I know.
I took piles of pictures that looked like this, then slapped on a digital filter my camera offers, "high contrast," and got these:
Pretty cool! Just not me. I imagine myself in the background of these lounging across the back of a baby grand wearing a black velvet dress and Avril Lavigne inspired eye liner. Not that that would be a bad thing.
Anyway, very, very fun. Thanks for letting me play along, Cari!
The family piles happen all over here, too. Can't wait to see my own children toting their laundry. Sigh. It's the small things.
ReplyDeleteThe ROSES, though! Heaven help me, those roses are incredible. I like the original one best, but the high contrast ones are stunning, too.
Piles of bro - love it! It seems the younger piled on bro never enjoys it as much as the older bro.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh at your child taking laundry upstairs...looks like a typical Saturday morning in our house when we finally get around to sorting the clean laundry and the piles are bigger than the kids :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, the high contrast roses are very eye catching. But I have no idea what I'd do with it if I had a photo like that. The original one would look pretty on my wall. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the high contrast pictures!! Very full of textures.
ReplyDelete"Pile of bro". heh.
Thanks for linking up to the club.
I'm lovin' the orange peels pile. I think that is the bomb dot com!
ReplyDeletep.s. ye olde bloggy is looking quite lovely with your custom header and your beautiful, smiling face over there!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly! I follow advice, it just usually takes me awhile. A long while.
DeleteSO COOL!!!! My favorite is the first because the I love the dusty rose color. So creative!! (And RED! - so you win!)
ReplyDeleteThe roses are awesome. And I love that you made a collage (pile) out of the pile pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the roses picture! It would look great hanging on a wall in a very plain room.
ReplyDeleteThe Pile of Bro is the funniest, but the pile of orange peels is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow really great pictures of the roses
ReplyDeleteVERY beautiful! You're so gifted. I remember the photos you did of Mary in high school.
ReplyDeleteI like the backlighting on the pile of clothes, and I like the orange peels a lot- they are not uninteresting . :-)
ReplyDeleteThe big brother and little bro makes me swoon. So incredibly sweet. Although the little bro can probably do with a little less lovin'. :-)
