I didn’t even try to count the number of notices that must have been tacked, nailed, stapled and screwed onto this tree turned telephone/ light pole. What better symbol of the busyness of our lives…and the effect it might be having on nature?
For Lens Artists Challenge #336-only one picture We were to choose a photo meaningful to us and to explain why we chose it.
The first fish looks sculpted from sand but was actually a real dead fish that had been beached, coated by sand and somewhat ossified. All first 5 photos taken in a 24 hour period on the beach in front of our beach rental in La Manzanilla. As for the apple, 2 mornings before, I had written a poem about an apple on my blog, and searched for a photo in my photo file. Finally found one and posted it, then came out to the beach and discovered this apple lodged under the bottom of my beach chair. I needed a photo. Nature provided!
