I think I might just get the last space in the gallery this week
Over at Pixel Dust Photo Art Bonnie challenged us with Connect, Connecting, Connection.
My first thought was this picture of the links of a chain, I have a few of these! I love how they are seemlessly connected together. I used a few of Bonnie’s textures, one of which is Taffeta. I like the silk fabric texture and the steel of the chain together.
The quote reminds me of my dear friend, no longer with me. I have been thinking about her a lot this week.
My next thought was the connection between a family, I couldn’t get this thought out of my mind. Although I have loads photos of family (like you all I am sure) I wanted something a little bit different. I remembered this, taken in December 2012. My son & I go to the same hair salon and in the years we have been doing so have only ever met each other there once… this day. Me in foils, how flattering, watching him in the mirror watching me in the mirror and laughing, we had the whole salon laughing.
I would like to hang this picture in the gallery please Bonnie.
It’s the weekend…I hope you are well and happy?
2 very different interpretations of connection and each is fabulous
I really like how your chain blends well with textures and colours together. It is a great image. I agree with you that family is always important… and a great source of natural humour. Andy
What a heart-warming, smile-making connection Miriam!!!
I love the photo of you and your son! So good you were able to capture it.
Such a strong, beautiful picture of the links.
That salon picture is fabulous! While it’s so happy and goofy, the colours and textures make it a piece of art.
That’s a great one! A happy moment, caught in time.
this is wonderful, Miriam!! I love the links and that quote. and the fun of you and your son makes my heart DO a wee dance!!
both of these are wonderful submissions for the PAF challenge but in completely different ‘moods’.
love the chain image and you did a great job of blending within it as well as an awesome placement with the perfect quote.
the other one is just plain fun~!!~

I love the joy felt in the second picture. The smiles reflected in the images are just wonderful to see.
Your top image is very gently touching – and would make a superb card (might you, I often think that about your work). That’s a great and very clever snap in the second one and perfect for your theme :).
Great images! I love the texture on the first one, and the second one made me laugh out loud!
(Thank you for your comments on my blog. I’m glad to have reconnected to your blog, too!)
