You've done well here John, a nice melange of shape and colour, the two shots are certainly complementary. -mcbit

Thanks Ann. My neighborhood (except for the trees) is rather drab. We had to go looking in a town 20 miles north and off the main road. John

You were right TV. I just have to get over my hangup of cropping out so many things of interest. There are some fantastic sun - faces hanging on the wall above. John

I can hardly see the figures down at the lower left, which doesn't convey your idea well. This needs is a closeup of the "individuals" to make the point. I love the colors and all the fantastic detail among the similar shapes. -tv

These are really fun. I don't find such things in my neighborhood. Nice patterns of shape and color. Ann

Drove by this pot shop in the afternoon sun in a Hispanic neighborhood in McKinney, TX. I couldn't get over how every pot was individually painted but they all looked the same because their size and shape were about the same. There was gobs of them. Then I noticed the little individuals hidden in the sea of sameness. John
