Basket Case


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Basket Case
Basket Case
Between single-digit temps, snow on the ground and a husband with a cast on his foot, it's a bit difficult to get decent photos around here this time of year. When the going gets tough, the tough get going -- this time, straight into our local Hobby Lobby store, where I found this wicker basket with an interesting pattern. Jack's doing well and my grocery run yesterday replenished the wine, so we're good for another day here!

Excellent design, details and tones, Monnie. Hang in there. You can always buy some cut flowers like I do in the winter.

  Atta Girl, give Jack the groceries and the drugs... I'm sure you are the one in need of the wine!
Here's hoping Jack heals fast so you can get back outdoors and shoot. BTW... I am working on my last few weeks of BP, when my membership expires I will sadly leave. Going to miss all the friends!

  At first glance I thought I was viewing pumpkin seeds!

This is so neat. Love the patterns and colors. Wouldn't it be amazing to actually MAKE a basket? (Not sure mine would turn out LOOKING amazing?!)

Monnie, I gotta tell you, EVERY time I come to your gallery and read the category "New Stuff" it makes me smile. I know I am about to visit a really fun lady and her work. You have such a way of lifting spirits! :)))

Hope your hubby is feeling better each day.

  Like Laura, I thought seeds of some kind, too. This weave seems to represent your situation at this time, Monnie. All kinds of little things going in different directions, but you manage to bring them together in a pleasing pattern.

  So do we get a picture of the cast- preferably with decorations and maybe lighthouses drawn on it??? Glad Jack is doing well. Wine should definitely help.

  I thought at first this was a scattering of seeds, Monnie. It's a dandy abstract. You done good, kid, for being nearly housebound.
