Lens-Artists Challenge #260 Overlooked

Posted on Categories Camera, Flowers, Funny Signs, Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, Miscellaneous, Nature, Photography

This week Janet wants me to share with you images that I think many would have overlooked. For me, that is what I often focus on, and now I get to share them with you.

I love to look at puddles and see reflections or things floating by.

These leaves came together in a heart shape

Wilted Flora

Sometimes, I arrive on the scene after the flowers have shown their best side. But I find this side interesting too.

I see some sunflower seeds!
Sunflowers are the stars when they are in bloom. Look and see the seeds.
These wilted pods spoke out to me!

Lost or abandoned

I currently am knitting a baby blanket for my granddaughter’s baby due in January. This will be my first great-grandchild (a boy).

I wonder who created this blanket? I wonder if it is missed?
Maybe this baseball player will remember
where was the last place this glove was seen.
I liked the splash of color on this lost straw hat.
The newspaper was left there on a bench. Perhaps to share.
You never know when an outhouse can come in handy!

Eye Glasses

In May I had an eye exam and ordered new frames. They arrived, had them adjusted, and still everything looked blurry. I returned the glasses and made an appointment to have my eyes reexamined. I had another eye injection for my AMD (macular degeneration), and on Monday I went for another exam. My vision changed dramatically, for the better. Yay! So I picked out another frame, and glasses have been ordered.

I once lost a pair of glasses. Hope the owner has a spare.
This lost pair provided a reflection of a beach in Maui.

Peeling

I am always looking at peeling paint or bark. Looking for fascinating images.

Do you see what I see?
Found on the side of a building.
Buildings in Old Sacramento reveal its history.
It would be easy to overlook this caution sign. But don’t!

Trees tell tales

Love occurs naturally
Pine cone found in the snow
It took me a moment to remember what I saw in this image. Now I see it.
Such texture
Walking along I come across this.
You may have missed this. I didn’t.

One of the reasons I love photography is that it gives me time to look at the world instead of rushing about. I hope that you enjoy the slower pace, and can find new things that you may have overlooked.

  3. Marlene, I can see I ended up with a challenge just made for you. 🙂 I loved all your choices. I always wonder about lots things but single shoes and glasses may be the most perplexing. I especially liked your dead plants and peeling paint. Thanks so much for being part of this fun!

  7. I am glad you are better in your eyes now! Eyes are most important to us – not only to photographers, but to us all. Great choices, and I must say my favourite overlooked ones are the wilted pods and the peelings.
