I've been collecting motives in my mind for weeks. And
yesterday I finally remembered to take my camera with
me. So, let's start the hunt ^_^
I started right away on the way to work. My eyes were
open for
patterns (see that bit of my skirt? it's my fave
skirt, which my mother has brought me from Indonesia)
and anything that caught my interest (the right photo
was taken much later on the day).
On the house corridor of the shop the tenant (or somebody
else in the house) always put different vintage miniatures
in an ugly hole in the wall. Sweet :)
Later my son and I passed a house with a big tree in front
of it. From far I first thought, it was a big sunflower, but
it isn't. The leaves are huge! Almost twice as big as my
head. My son touched the stem and it felt oily. And look
at it - it has burst the tar of the pavement. Amazing!
Does
any of you know, what plant it is? It's
Paulownia tomentosa.
When it's young, it has very big leaves, but later it got
smaller ones (well, still up to 20cm). I've photographed
another Paulownia on another place
2 years ago. That's
where I found out the name - I asked a couple, who was
watching the tree :)
I'm loving murals on houses in general and this abstract
one is so special. Five curves are integrated in the mural.
Everything else are straight lines - short and long. That's
'jazzy' - my kind of art :) I wonder, who 'S' is...
edit: You might have seen this mural at my Flickr gallery.
Today I passed the house again and saw, that the mural
was also made by 'S'. Now I'm really curious :)On the middle photo I like the purple touch on the window
shutters and door. The house on the right photo has caught
my eyes because of the wall. Somehow I like it, but somehow
I don't. I'm really confused *lol* I'd love to take a peek in
the house first before I decide ;)
We went home late today. We saw the sunset on our
way home. Yes, we are walking all the way home by
foot today! I'm so proud of my son, as he normally
doesn't like to walk for too long. He has learned counting
in Chinese this morning, so he tried to teach me on our
way :) As we almost got home, I've seen those perforated
leaves hanging so delicate - simply beautiful. Esp. in that
light!
My son has also made some photos. I really love his
impressions of the leaves and the full moon.
I've uploaded some
more photos in
my photo blog.
Thanks for joining me hunting motives ^_^
