The Sunday Post; a Twofer

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Angeline M

Ah, the blogging challenge stars have aligned once again at a serendipitous juncture. Two challenges tackled in one post. Jakesprinter has put forth his weekly Sunday Post challenge on Focused Attention. Cee’s Fun Foto challenge has offered us Wood, as part of her ongoing Chinese five elements challenge.

The first photo is for Jake. The photo directly above is a combo for Jake and Cee; and the final photo below is exclusively for Cee, the beautiful Koa wood of Hawaii that comes from the Acacia Koa Tree, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Photos were taken on Kauai and Oahu.

  Thanks Jo. The young woman was so quick and adept at her drawing. I was mesmerized watching as she was drawing. And she is so beautiful!

Art does require a lot of focus. Great responses to the prompts, Angeline.

Perfect Love the high gloss on the wooden planter in the last shot. Is it lined with some waterproof material?

  Thanks! No, that’s not a planter, the green you see behind the Koa vessel/urn is a reflection in the mirror of a plant that was in back of where I was standing to take the photo
  I don’t know what they use to polish the wood into that sheen, but those pieces are always so beautiful.
