Threaded

Visited the local Botanical Garden today looking for the first spring flowers. Alas, none have yet to make an appearance. Switched gears and focused on this rope fence lining the garden paths instead.
I like the lines in this, the texture of the rope, the rusted post against the dried flowers. Very cool composition!

Love the focus and leading lines. The background adds such a nice interest.

Fabulous lines, great textures too. Cool rust on the pole.

Any flower photos you could have taken couldn't have been more beautiful than this. Gorgeous. If I sit and look at it I can feel the rope in my hand, soft, but abrasive. Amazing.

Good eye. Besides the obvious appeal of the rope and eye, I enjoy the color harmony. I remember those gardens well.
March 6th, 2013  
Nice shot. Strong composition and that rope takes my eye straight to the tatty, painted post and the wonderful blues and rust combination on it.

you are such a good photographer...you can make nothing into something GREAT! I see you're from Idaho...we thought about moving there a year ago to Boise and heard so many good things about the community....job changed and we didn't end up moving...but boy did I want to so we could get out of the Desert and Heat her in Phoenix. I wish there was a message area to talk with all my new friends. Anyways, love your photo!
March 7th, 2013  
I can see why! It's a well spotted shot with those tones and textures! Very nice :)
March 7th, 2013  
I love how you found the beauty in this, especially when you were at a botanical garden. It is really beautiful. Great lines.

@david68 Thank you so much for the fav, David! So glad you like the shot!
March 7th, 2013  
@isee Thank you for your comment! "Hold me tight" would have made a great title for the shot. Wish I had thought of that!
March 7th, 2013  
@Cheesebiscuit Thank you so much, Cheesy. I have to agree with you. It's funny how sometimes we go looking for a certain shot and then a different (and better one) finds us!
March 7th, 2013  
@blincodave Thank you for your comment and compliment, Dave! I am trying hard to look with an observant eye so I am glad it comes across that way to you.
March 7th, 2013  
@gozoinklings Thank you so much, Catherine! I am delighted that you like the shot!
March 7th, 2013  
@rvwalker Thank you, Ross. If you make it back to the gardens, please let me know. I actually just bought an annual membership. It's always changing and a great place to find a photo - and just take a quiet walk.

@yonnie Thank you so much, Yvonne. I am so happy you liked it.

@24atlantic Thank you, Megan!

@jankoos Thank you so much, Jan. I am glad you liked it. I went looking for pretty spring flowers, but have to say these dried ones are great, too.
March 7th, 2013  
@steampowered Thank you, Paul! I first fell in love with the beautiful color and patina of the post. The surrounding colors were the perfect complement. So glad you liked it too.

@anwan Thank you so much for your comment!

@megmills Meg, you are so sweet. Thank you very much for your kind words. I feel like such a newbie at this hobby that it means the world to me that you see good stuff. Boise is a great little city with a lot to offer. If the possibility of a move should present itself again for you, be sure to let me know. I'd be happy to help with info, etc. I bet there are lots of great photo ops in your area. I love the desert landscape, although I think the heat would get to me, too. So glad to have met you here, Meg!

@twistergirl Thanks so much, Doris! I appreciate your kind words and support!
