Containers are recyclable!
Containers bear gifts!
Containers can be colorful and decorative!

So, containers can be very useful. There’s also something to be said for that which cannot be contained!
Have a great weekend, free or contained!

Quite a metaphoric photo essay, really.
I never could resist a good metaphor! 😉
Came back again, Priscilla. I would love to do some of these in collage. And tomorrow’s prompt for Bardo is allegory. Maybe you should link this photo-poem! Or maybe I should use containers for my poem. Or both!
Earthen vessels, humans…recyclable, full of nice surprises, decorative and sustaining life as well as having qualities that are not contained. Yes, that could be an allegory!
Great choice of pictures for this theme, Scilla! Containers with chocolates are always my favorite.
And not only that, the chocolates themselves contained amazing surprises…like jalapeno and fennel and pad thai flavors!
So glad you brought this to the prompt. I love these photo and the allegorical potential. Thank you.
So true! Great containers and open spaces!
Thanks!
Wonderful metaphor and the close is memorable.
… that which cannot be contained. Bravo! I like this.
Thanks, Jamie!
I’ll take those chocolates… I like you take on containers, especially the freedom aspect.
Those chocolates are an adventure in themselves! My daughter was tasting them in the shop and making such animated expressions that the store keeper asked her if she was okay. Surprising flavors layered over time are unexpected in most candies. Here’s the description for the one she was tasting, called Caribbean Fire: 70% Ecuadorian chocolate surrounds a slowly erupting, fiery center of ancho and chipotle peppers, nutmeg, allspice and jerk seasoning blended into 65% dark chocolate.
