Focus on: The Patterns Around Us....

Looking for something a little different. 


"an artistic, musical, literary or mechanical design or form." 

Sally Russick, in her photo prompt this week asks us to find "Pretty Patterns."  Hmmmm, Wanting to do something a little different this week, I used a picture of a very old rock wall near my home, presented with a little editing on PicMonkey.

Rock Wall,Cropped and Sharpened
Old time craftsmanship. These photos highlight a very practical, yet beautiful pattern, created of the components at hand, to suit the surroundings.

Kind of like jewelry design, the way I do it!

    My husband used to build rock walls in his (much) younger days. He claims he is going to build one for the pathway down to the basement.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Lovely old wall and I like what you've done with it in PicMonkey - you've got some good effects there.

    Any way you look at it it is just gorgeous! I love seeing these handmade rock walls--a talent that seems to have gone by the wayside.

    Great wall! To me it is relaxing. I remember when we were little...we used to drive from Fl to Ky to visit my grandparents and that was before the interstates and we would drive along the side of the mountains and see little places like this.

    Great pics!
