Cheri at the Daily Post has chosen the theme of curves for this weeks photo challenge. I have a friend who likes straight lines in imagery, but I’ll always choose the curves and swirls we find in nature, in any design or art.
I took this first photo a few weeks ago at Coldharbour Mill, in east Devon. It was leaning against a wall at the back of a courtyard and I had to capture it.
Next, there’s a humpy hedge behind these curvy evergreens. Apparently when it was a baby hedge, there was a very harsh winter and it was weighed down by snow. The gardeners tried to repair it, but failed and knowing they’d lost the battle, they decided to allow it to grow it’s own curvy way.
A few weeks ago I posted a black and white version of some William Morris wallpaper,
There were several comments about the original colours, so here it is, colours, curves and even a well placed ceramic plate.

I like the different objects that you chose…nice variety.
I like a humpy hedge 🙂 And the Morris paper is gorgeous, but those curvy whatchamacallits are so worthy of a Wordless Wed. Just caught you before I check out of the Reader. Woo-hoo! It’s the weekend! Heaves sigh 🙂 Enjoy!
Gilly, terrific photos for this challenge, especially the last one.
Pretty paper but my favourite curve is the rusty object in the first image. I like that 🙂
Gorgeous colours in that wallpaper and plate, Gilly. Love the curvy hedge too. Those rusty old whatchamacallits are indeed very curvy. 🙂
Terrific pictures but I wonder what that curvy steel thing leaning against the brick might be.
❤ ❤
Remarkable curve selections, Gilly!! Thank you so much for posting the color version of the last one. 😍
Hi Gilly,
I really enjoyed your selection of photos for this challenge. They’re all so different, it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I am fascinated at the way the plate blends in with the wallpaper.

Great variety of curve photos that are perfect for the theme.
You are the queen of variety. I love the story of the humpy hedge and I’m glad it couldn’t be beaten into submission.
Great selection of diverse curves, Gilly! That dear old humpy hedge! William Morris designs can always be relied upon for their sinuous lines, and as for the whatchamacallits…they have a second thing going for them….rust
Wonderful gallery of curves and that is a well placed plate! Great colors. Nice for the challenge, Gilly.
I remember the wallpaper. It looked so different seeing it now as a whole. Crazy how we adjust the view from our different perspective, or liking. 😉 Love the curvy hedges. .
Love your curves .. And that wallpaper so pretty
That hedge is a classic with its determination to do its own thing, perfect for this theme.
I would love the see the hedges while they’re being cut. It’s incredible that they’re perfect.
Perfect selection for the challenge. : – )
The bends in the metal are unexpected and flowing; I love the bumpy hedge (in fact I tried to grow one but one year heavy snow brought it down completely, so now we have a straight fence!) and the William Morris print reminds me of a dress I had during the ’60’s. Loving your curves, Gilly! 🙂
That plate against the paisley wall is perfect! 🙂
