fisherman's net and seaweed on Delray Beach

TODAY'S PHOTO -
a fisherman's net, cast on Delray Beach.

This is one of the NATUR-al Collages, to which I referred yesterday. For those who missed it, a lot of what I was seeing and framing with my camera, on my July 4th sunrise walk, began to have the feeling of "collages" and I coined the term "NATUR-al COLLAGES" for those image pictures being formed by Nature.

Although the fisherman was involved in this one, since he simply threw it down, I say it was the forces of Nature that created the random picture. I love the colors, including that of the seaweed, the play of light and the movement and flow of the net and the cord.

One of the definitions of "collage" found on the web states that it is: " An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color." The NATUR-al Collages, of course are not pasted down, and are thus permanent only in our memories or in a photograph.

Although I myself am not one who collages regularly, I know that there is a community of collagers in this subscriber base. I' am curious as to how you perceive this photo in relating to collaging.

SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Look around you today at some aspect of Nature and objects that might be strewn, or otherwise, randomly arranged on the ground. Can you find anything that you might call a NATUR-al collage?

Also, tune into any random occurences which can be reinterpreted with new meanings for you. Have fun.
