52 Photos Project: Uncommon Shapes



The 52 Photos Project theme this week is

Uncommon shapes. . . . 



this assignment intrigued me 

"Born Again into Color" © 2010 Meri Arnett-Kremian

Piqued my curiosity.



Made me excavate my photo files
to see what fit.



Should I choose this?



Or this?



So many possibilities



I can't decide.



Please forgive me. . . .


I'm feeling a little gluttonous. . . 

it's a Miss Piggy kind of day.
(For a more weighty, philosophical post
from me today, check Meri's Musings.)
Since so many of you are intrigued by the teapot,
here's some info from Conde Nast. 

 The close up of Chihuly glass is from a huge installation
in Tacoma, Washington outside the Museum of Glass.
If you're an art glass lover, check out the museum's website
and the live feed when artists-in-residence
are working in the hot shop.

I'm so glad you didn't narrow it down, because these are all so much fun. Gotta say, though, that teapot house is the clear winner.

You may or may not know that the Nez Percé   had been granted reservation lands in 1855  by the Washington Territory's  territorial governor, Isaac Stevens.  The land reserved for the tribe encompassed  their traditional hunting lands,  including the Wallowa Valley.  But as settlement by whites continued and gold was found,  the incentive to honor that treaty diminished.
