“Remember, the object only reflects a feeling that came from a human. It holds a story from where it came from,
but it’s not alive.” ― Kim Neville
Patti invites us this week to share photos of “Interesting Objects”. I went on a photo hike this morning in the fog up a hill covered with mossy trees with that subject in my mind. I found many interesting things, but I came to make the distinction that what I was photographing was not Objects but Beings. Each mushroom and lichen and spiderweb and bark pattern was exquisite and interesting…and alive. So, I went into my photo archives to find Human-created objects that I’ve discovered on my walks.
I photographed these pendants I found in a Bayside boutique because I love the way the wrapped wire looks like trees. I wanted to show the design to my middle daughter, who makes jewelry.
Owning a beach house gives you the opportunity to show your affection for the sea. I liked this whimsical decoration above one garage in Santa Cruz, CA.
My daughter’s partner is a Bigfoot fan. I had to capture a shot of this chainsaw statue outside of my hotel in Mt. Shasta, CA for him.

Great post Priscilla! I like the pendants also because the wrappings look like trees. I love trees. I also like the rock. We all need to be reminded to rest easy. Take Care!
Thanks, Anne! 🙂
The “rest easy” message is wonderful (esp on the anniversary)
And it reminded me of a sign we saw on a piece of wood while visiting Lake Gaston – it said “what’s the hurry?”
Oh and like the way you noted the “interconnection and respect” aspect 😉
I think it would be fun to leave simple messages of peace lying around. Might have a ripple effect!

Lovely post and thoughts, Priscilla. I agree that it’s the interconnection between objects and us humans makes objects interesting. The ‘rest easy’ message is so timely. The hike is a lovely way to honor your mother’s memory.
Thanks, Patti! I hope you rest easy today. 🙂
I like the seahorse!
He’s pretty cute, I think. 🙂
Your daughter is very creative…love her jewellery!
Oh, she didn’t make these. I took a picture to show her the design.
Oh I see, my bad…but she still makes jewellery so just the same.
You took a very interesting approach this week Priscilla. Loved your connection between the objects and the humans who created them. Especially loved the little rock
Thanks, Tina!
Nice pendants.
Your daughter’s jewelry really caught my eye — she’s quite talented!
My daughter didn’t make this jewelry. I just photographed it to show it to her.
My mistake. Thanks for a beautiful post, one that had me look twice!
You’re not the only one who made that assumption, so I re-wrote the caption. Thanks for helping me to write more clearly! 🙂
Great photos. I like the pendants, and the Neville quote. Anthropomorphism are us!
Thanks, John. Yeah, it’s a stretch to push beyond a human ego.
Wonderful gallery. I love those pendants.
Thanks!
I enjoyed reading your post and seeing your interesting pictures.
Thanks, Sylvia! 🙂
A beautiful post as usual, Priscilla. Loved those pendants. And, Rest Easy.
Thanks, Ann-Christine!
