POD Project - Food, contained

The subject for this POD project was food. I took the image of flying food (that Laurel of CranberryCloud supplied to me) and placed the food (pieces) into colourful, rectangular segments. Order has been brought!

I can't stop looking at the orange leaves!

Without a doubt fall is my favourite season. Here are ten reasons why:

1. Gorgeous orange, red, and yellow trees.

2. Crisp blue skies against the orange, red and yellow trees.

3. Walking through the leaves along an unraked path.

4. Apples.

5. Wearing orange scarves.

6. Picking out some pumpkins for the front porch.

7. Baked acorn squash.

8. A first fall fire in the fireplace.

9. Cool mornings that justify a warm cup of tea or coffee.

10. Chocolate and peanut butter candy bars I need to buy for Trick-or-Treaters!

POD Project - Resplendent, indeed!

I am playing catch up with my POD (Point of Departure) creations. For the subject of animals, Laurel gave me a beautiful photo of a bird called a quetzal. Not knowing too much about this colourful bird I went to the web to get more info.

Resplendent quetzals live in the forests of Central America. Both the male and female have brilliant blue, green and red colouring. However, only the male has the long train formed by twin tail feathers which can grow up to three feet long. This site has more information. But, the last fact I will share here is that the currency units traded in Guatemala are called "quetzals". I found that fact to be interesting enough to include a reproduction of a paper quetzal in my piece.

I do not feel this POD to be my strongest. Yet, as discussed briefly with Laurel yesterday, our POD project is meant for us to try anything we want. Any medium, any process... to let loose with no audience or outcome in mind.

Now, I am going to practice that again with the next POD subject: food
