PATTERNS

ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS about growing older is the ability to look back and see patterns......patterns of behavior, actions, habits..............

Circular knitting needles I had long coveted and finally ordered.

A beautifully patterned wall on a restaurant we frequent.

Sheets of rolled newspapers form several boxes
and a runner I couldn't resist.

A necktie worn by a total stranger.
I couldn't resist asking to photograph it.

Neckties

Slats

Rock walls fascinate me. 

A common enough sight, but one I find interesting.
Note the yellow wheel.

Circles

Shadows

Raindrops

Towels

    Your photographs are as interesting as your writing. Glad to see you back to some "regular" posts. XOXO

    Jane....your photos make me realize the beauty in so many ordinary objects that we look at everyday. Thanks...love, Timi

    I think I just might need those knitting needles as well.

    "Any photo journal by our favorite visual artist, Jane Humphrey, will open your eyes to the abundance of beauty hidden in plain sight. Her latest edition, Patterns, is no exception. If you have not viewed the world through Jane's observant eye, run to your nearest bookseller, a technicolor Renaissance awaits."

    This is what the reviewers will be saying if you ever leap from book seller to author.

    Still time, dear Jane.

    I love those knitting needles! I've also seen furniture made from rolled newspapers.
    Beautiful post!
