It just says "windy day"

I don't normally go for the one colored object against the greyed out background, but in this case I found it particularly appropriate.



Nothing says windy day like a warm piece of clothing caught in a tree. Who knows how far off course it was blown? It was in the tree for half the day. I was waiting to see if someone would come back and pick it up. Maybe someone else did some sort of sociology experiement to see if someone would take the scarf down. Or if it would still be there in the spring. Well, I solved that problem for them. Of course, if they were watching me they might go and check out my office later, see the scarf tacked to the bulletin board in the hall, put the scarf back on its net of branches.
Amazingly enough, one thread was wrapped around a tree bud. It seemed so deliberately wrapped, just one thread. As if someone put it there so it would be art for a windy day. The picture was almost too good to be true. I'll see if someone leaves a nasty message on my door about not understanding art, that should start an interesting conversation.
In the mean time, this is what Feburary in New Hampshire will do to your winter woolens if you're not careful.

I rarely like selective colourization, but this one is great! It creates a strong emotion. Bleak background, red checkered scarf, winter, hope, life. It's really wonderful.

Hey jasmine, thanks for your comment. I agree about selective colorization. There needs to be a point to it. If you have to color the focus/topic simply because it wouldn't be noticed otherwise than something is missing from the composition of the shot.
Not like I'm an expert or anything. :) Just like to take pictures of things; much like about a million other people in the world.
