Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Crooked and Squiggly
I haven’t done a “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” before, but I took a couple of photos yesterday which I thought fit with this one quite well. They’re not great as I am just a “happy snapper” with a camera phone, though I am getting into this photography thing, so a decent camera is now on my list (along with new TV and new bed).
The challenge is “crooked and squiggly”. I took these pictures at Trelissick Garden, which is owned by the National Trust (I’m on holiday for two weeks so I took a wander there yesterday – more photos to follow).
I’m not sure why the branches grew like this! In search of the sun?
This second shot is a bit dodgy, light-wise. As I said I’m a “happy snapper” and didn’t realise that the sun was in the wrong place! In my defence, I could hardly see the screen on my phone at all, and I was wearing prescription sunglasses which made things worse.
This tree is quite crooked, but at the same time has a sort of symmetry about it.
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

Wow! That’s one interesting tree! Like the goddess with the many arms on either side of it!
Looks like you’re enjoying your holiday so far 🙂

I also thought that it looked like someone/thing opening their arms wide.
My holiday is going fine so far, though 2 weeks is going to be a bit too long I think (I have no choice – we have to take 10 consecutive days) 🙂

Al, Good and interesting photos. I haven’t had a worthwhile camera for ages. Some day I may buy one again. I hope you continue to enjoy your holiday. 🙂 —Susan

I’ve always thought that it would be a waste of money for me, but I now enjoy taking photos and posting them here, so it’s back on the list!
The weather looks okay for the next few days so hopefully I will have options during my holiday for days out.

More great pictures, can’t wait to see what you come up with when you get a “real” camera.
Prescription sunglasses are the worst, I ended up returning mine.

Thanks! It might be a while before I can afford a real camera though 🙂
My sunglasses are okay, but even inside I couldn’t take them off as I left my normal glasses in the car!

Like a trip to Entwood. Do they talk?

They didn’t say anything to me but maybe they were undercover Ents.

Those trees are octopus trees. They are (or can be) trained to grow like that. I have photos of a couple of them. I never thought of them for this challenge, but they are perfect. 🙂

I’ve never heard of those, thanks! I just Googled some pictures of octopus trees and they look very much like the one in my picture.

I would love to climb in that octopussy… Granny never sees anything when she takes pictures. She calls them all Lucky shots 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend 🙂

It would be quite a fun climb I think! Most of my photos are also “lucky shots”, but I’m trying to put a bit more thought into it now.
