Funny how sometimes things fall into place right when you need them to. I didn't really have anything to fit this weeks prompt. I was going to take a picture of my laptop keys, since my fingers appear to be glued to them often.
Yaaaaawn.
But because it's rained for like 48 hours straight and I needed to get outside, Michael and I put on waterproof shoes and rain jackets, leashed up Layla and headed outside. When it's been raining this much there is a culvert nearby our house that fills up and is fun to play in. Sure enough once we got down there I found type galore, albeit, ahem, not strictly legal :-)
I found more crazy fonts when I got home and picked up the mail - I am amazed that it made it to me!
It's a lovely set of beads from Jennifer Davies-Reazor - she made the June Component of the Month over on Art Jewelry Elements - and I won!
The Graffiti you chose is so integral to the shape of the culvert, and the message is certainly secondary!
ReplyDeleteOh my Elisabeth, that first picture you took is beautiful....art!! The wet likely helped, but what a great shot. Your photo of your son is such fun!
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is so much a part of life now. The good and the not so good. Congrats on the win.
ReplyDeleteThere is graffiti everywhere - apparently even on your mail!
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is quite fun to photograph - you did a great job doing so!

Wow, you're right down the road from me, I'm in Woodbridge! I love grafitti!!! I like the mail piece with the letters all distorted, cool interpretation!
ReplyDeleteSOmetimes the post office trys amazingly hard to deliver things.. other times they see a mistake and return it to the sender... Some graffiti I like some just messes up buildings... inside a culvert is probably a good place for it!
ReplyDeleteWow, your photo of graffiti is beautiful - I love the colours! I also love the soggy mail that amazingly got to you - I try hard to get that effect in my art sometimes - perhaps I should send it through the mail during the 'wet season'!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of your son in the culvert. And how lucky to have won beads from Jennifer
ReplyDeleteGreat photos in the storm drain! You are quite the intrepid photographer with your trusty assistant!
ReplyDeleteGlad your parcel arrived safely - we've had a lot of soggy letters this year...
Have a wonderful week :)
Good job capturing this weeks prompt. Way cool that your beads made it to you.
ReplyDeleteCautionary tale for tape over the address! Probably just hit a puddle just before your door :) Graffiti was an awesome choice a bit of edge. I never took a picture of some of my own I left behind... in some concrete teehee!
ReplyDeleteGlad the package made it there! Graffiti can be interesting, can't it?
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of the graffiti!
ReplyDeleteI , too, love the colors and the passionate LOVE YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win! Don't let my hubby hear this, love graffiti! These kids are so talented - wish they could express it in another way......
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love your creativity and the graffiti.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everything started running in that rain geez it was all consuming!
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful graffiti in the culvert. What a great place to play. And your mail...I can't believe you actually got it. Our mail carriers can't even get things to the right address when it is legible let alone wet and smeared!
ReplyDeleteLoved every one of your photos, even the package! lol! Indeed you could not repeat that font.
