Patti challenges us to focus on still life images this week. In addition to traditional composed arrangements of inanimate objects, she encourages us to use a variety of sources including “found” still life scenes. Oh, Patti, this will be fun!
This post is on a trail to the beach and often is ornamented with found items. I especially enjoyed this composition of the post wrapped in orange nylon rope with a turquoise forelock waving in the wind.
It’s fresh Dungeness Crab season again. I took this series of photos a couple years ago illustrating the ingredients for a composed crab salad.
This driftwood arrangement, embellished with sculpted metal salmon beside a bench with native grasses and ferns in a Long Beach neighbors yard, is emblematic of found art on the peninsula.
My girlfriend Jocelyn placed these flowers (left over from a wedding she’d attended), in jars outside on the picnic table at her Priest Lake, ID cabin. I love the contrast of the bright flowers against the old wood and the forest background.

Great photos Lindy. The rope post and driftwood are among my faves. I had a B-25 12-string that decade. Those were the days.
Thank you John. I wondered if the B-25 would “strike a chord” with you. It was that guitar that brought my hubby and me together!
👍👍👍😂
ah, the driftwood and the first post – beautiful. The driftwood is just lovely. That is one thing I would like to see more often here in Sweden – not much driftwood…only plastic…
Thank you, Leya. Driftwood is everywhere around here, though I must say I pick up way more plastic on the beach that I’d like to see.
I would guess so…
Hi Lindy. I love your creative and unique collection. The driftwood, the flowers, the piano/guitar. I love that you looked for objects close to home. 🙂 🙂
This was a great read and look at still life. This was right up your alley. I loved the driftwood and the rope around the pile. And oh how I miss dungy crab. Great ideas, Lindy.
Thank you, Donna. I was trying not to use photos I’ve already posted. Just had fresh cracked crab for dinner last night. Gotta get it when it’s in season 🙂
Truth!
The driftwood arrangement is so cool! Fresh Dungeness Crab, delicious.
