Creepy..

When you embrace photography, you start looking at things differently. And then you talk to fellow photographers who are interested in different things. I personally like beach shots and flower shots. But my friend Carol likes to take all kinds of different but fabulous photos.

When I first went on a trip armed with my new camera, she told me, "Make sure you take photos of mannequins." And so I did. Never before I cared for mannequins. But now? I look and take photos. They are fascinating! They have such a personality. And they tell a story.

Like this headless, armless, legless lady wearing a gorgeous red dress. Waiting for someone? Standing by a red door with blue steps. And yet the sign says closed.

Strange and creepy.

My entry for photo Friday.

In keeping up with my tradition of posting  mannequin photos from different places, here is one from Maui.

Happy Friday everyone!

Wood Art

One of the great thing about Hawaii is that everyone has a lot of respect and love for mother nature. I went to a restaurant and was awestruck when I saw these benches. The owner explained that they were made by a local artist who gets fallen trees and makes art out of them.

How gorgeous!

My immediate thought was, Mythos does this! He needs to make one for me. And for BG. We want!

Look at the details on the second bench. I guess he took out the knots?

And check out this trash can! One piece made from a tree trunk. How cool is that?

So... what do you think? Like the pieces?
