Ever think, ‘Did this guy… photograph… a stick’? Yeah. That happened. Hashtag ‘RANDOM’.

Twigs need love too! 🙂
Hahaha… I suppose that’s true!
🙂
A twig is simply another example of the process of life. And I think you took the photo beautifully!
Have a great week, Sig! 🙂 xxx
I sincerely appreciate your kindness! I’m starting to look forward to some slightly warmer weather (maybe I’ll actually get out a bit more and stop looking for such random stuff to photograph… or… maybe not)!
Thank you very much, Deb! I hope you have a very good one, too!
🙂
And the twig becomes art. Why not?
Hahaha… the twig probably wouldn’t complain about that…
of course… it doesn’t complain about too much…
being a twig and all…
🙂
I can think of around 40 commercial uses for it.
Hahaha… I was thinking about putting together an infomercial…
🙂
This composition is so true. I really twigged to it. 😀
This looks like one of those divining rods that leads you to water. This one looks like it could lead you to gold. Fingers crossed!
If all else fails it might lead me to some Coke, anyway (although I’m sure my subconscious is helping out a bit… this way to the refrigerator)!
🙂
Robert, this twig is so statuesque and romantic. It’s a beauty! Nice angle, too.
Thank you so very much, Amy!
That has a much nicer ring to it than, ‘WHAAAAAAT?’!!!
🙂
Ah, love it! : )
I’m very happy to hear that, Karen! Thank you so much!
🙂
hehe, I think it all the time! but usually with less amusement 😛 nice pic, but the words are priceless ;-D
Hahaha… I’m very happy to hear that! I do what I can, you know! Sometimes it’s a little strange, but I think that’s usually okay… as long as it’s amusing!
🙂
So organic….I love it….I like anything to do with trees or their parts 🙂
Thank you, Mary! Me, too… especially if blossoms and/or leaves are involved… come on, springtime!
🙂
Love the simplicity of this Robert. So natural, organic, simplistic and artistic. Blessings, Robyn
Why, thank you, Robyn! Very, very much! I appreciate that!
🙂
Better keep the deer away from it!
Hahaha…
*chew chew chew*
🙂
You may have found the next supermodel!
HA!
I probably should have asked to see its runway walk…
🙂
This is a stick up. lol
HA!
Did you get a good look at the guy? Yeah… he was… kinda… bark-ish…
🙂
I never realised that a lowly little twig
could be presented with such brilliance 🙂
Another fine example of your creativity 🙂
Have a wickedly enjoyable Tuesday SIG
Why, thank you, Andro! Very, very much sir!
I hope you are having a good one, too! Hopefully some of that snow is finally starting to melt…
🙂
You did the background good for your subject Bob, Great image 🙂
Thank you, Jake! I thought I should try keep things simple (especially since the subject was so simple, too)!
🙂
That me reminds me of my favorite joke’s punchline, ‘What’s brown and sticky?’
HA! I hope my shoe isn’t part of the set-up…
🙂
chocolate in summer
Chocolate?! Did someone say chocolate?!
*om nom nom*
🙂
A stick by any other name is still a stick… Didn’t Shakespeare say that? Only you can take a picture of a stick and make it look good. It makes my creative thoughts come alive.
“My kingdom for a stick”
It is a stick…but it’s not just a stick.. It has special qualities that everyone might not notice.
It might be the stick that people use to stick it to other people.
It might be the stick that will wind up being a stick in the mud.
To stick or not to stick. That is the question.
Now this is going to stick in my head for the rest of the day so I have to go. No need in sticking around.
Hahaha… maybe so, Bo… I probably wasn’t paying as much attention as I should have been when old Will showed up in class (go figure, right – I mean, I’m photographing sticks for entertainment, so…)!
Your generous thoughts always stick out, Bo… thank you very, very much!
🙂
It’s more like, “Damn, why didn’t I think to photograph a stick?” Knobby.
Aw, thanks, U.M… that makes me feel a bit better about not getting out more…
🙂
It’s a lovely stick. Probably just getting ready to burst forth into greening buds now that spring has arrived.
Thanks, Peg! I LOVE the sound of that! Come on, warmer weather!!!
🙂
The stick looks like it’s dancing. Dancing with sticks!!!
Hahaha… I wonder which of the contestants (or judges) will snap first this time around…
🙂
I don’t know much but… What’s the kind of camera that can capture small things?
I used a fairly ‘typical’ camera (a Canon DSLR with a 18-55mm zoom kit lens). You have a very good eye, though… for this photograph I also used a plus 10 diopter (much less expensive than a macro lens – and it up on sale, too)! I shot it fairly wide-open, too, so the combination really minimized the depth of field / increased the ‘blur’, which I thought was kinda cool, here. I hope this helps – please feel free to ask me if you have any more questions – I’m very happy to help / answer if I can!
🙂
Looks like Twiggy
Oh, snap!
🙂
I wonder what it’s thinking???
Perhaps it’d like to go to McDonald’s for a McMuffin???
Although it may end up getting arrested if the McBurger Sellers think it’s a stick up & call the Cops
Hahaha… I might consider posting bail… if it picks me up something, too, of course.
🙂
Sticking to what you’re good at I see SiG!
Thank you very much, Ms. K!
Hahaha… I should probably try to ‘branch out’ at some point…
🙂
i could make like a tree and leave, but that might be barking up the wrong tree. in any case, i will stop needling you.
urk, sad puns. but seriously – love this. i like how the next generation of buds is putting in an appearance. even plain old twigs are not that at all 🙂 and the composition is very cool, too.
thanks for sharing!
Thank you, P&K!
Hahaha… not at all! I just wish I was a bit more awake… maybe I could think of a good one, too! Well, probably not, but I might have been able to come up with something, anyway!
It’s funny… when I first brought this inside I didn’t even notice those little buds… it was pretty cold out at the time, so I just grabbed one or two and ran for the door! But I was happy to see them… it seemed like a good focal point (and a sign that, hopefully, I won’t have to run for the door for too much longer)!
🙂
What an art! 😀
This is the most beautiful twig I’ve seen. 😀
How very kind of you to say, Cristina! Thank you!
🙂
so what’s wrong with twigs? this one definitely has personality. i think he was hanging out waiting to be discovered and, luckily, he was! 🙂
Hahaha… I sure hope so! It would be a shame if he ‘snapped’ after seeing this post! 🙂
