one man's trash, another man's treasure


One of the neighbors had done some yard work and left this at the street for maintenence to pick up. I thought, what an very interesting pile of old vines and I was thoroughly enjoying the colors and textures and every little twist and turn of them when it occurred to me how strange I must look standing there in the road just staring like that. But I wasn't nearly done looking at them! Yeah, I'm funny like that. So I went home and got the camera. Ha!

Wouldn't it be fun to make a sculpture with those vines? They already were a work of art, just as nature made them. Sigh. I really miss having a camera. Good times, good times. :-p

The eternal question, What is beauty? As long as there are garage sales, we'll only know what we've always suspected and you so aptly titled this post. :-D

Cool! That looks like a sculpture just the way it is! At least you didn't drag them home to your house... like I might have LOL! I'm not much of an artist, but I do appreciate natural art. Great find Oliviah.

Glad you like the lava - I can't stop collecting it myself. Show me to the next volcano!

Dink, somebody said you look like Drew Barrimore and I looked at the picture they were referring to and thought, wow, she really DOES look like Drew Barrimore. I forgot to tell you that. Big hugs little angel.

I used this for a CD cover. I really liked that stack of vines.
