Round Robin Photo Challenge: Wood

I skipped the RRPC on spring cleaning.
I just could not get inspired by my mop.
So when I saw the one on wood, I thought it could be fun.
Then I waited until the last minute to do this.
So I was out in my back yard this morning.
Let's see if I got anything.


This is some wood left over from when the manfriend built the deck.
The pieces are about a foot and a half long.
I don't want to toss them. But I don't know what to make.
Maybe a planter.

For some reason there are wires coming out of my lemon tree.
Something to ponder.


I like the contrast of textures here.
This is a trunk of a small palm or marginata type
tree next to a dead palm frond.


Here is a detail shot of one of the palms.

One of the planters has some wood posts along one side.
The rosemary and vines from the wall are growing all over it.
Another nice contrast of color and texture.

I love your photos. The contrast between the wood on the tree and the palm are beautiful. Love the grain in the last pic too!

Always, Carly

Thanks. I was unsure of what I would get since I waited until the last second to do this.
But it was fun as usual.

I like the palm the best - however, all were interesting and good. Maybe a bird house or a planter with the extra wood?

Excellent work! Nice composition and variety. One would never know that it was last-minute; it could hardly be better had you planned it for weeks!

I am so glad that you got inspired by the theme :0) You must have a lovely backyard. The contrast of the vine against the grain made me go wow!

Beautiful photos! The wires coming out of the tree are a little freaky, though. Hope they're better in real life. ;)

Here via Angela's blog. Lovely photos. The one with the wires is odd - you don't know why they are in there?
