Part of the Blogathon are themed days periodically tossed in throughout the month. The idea behind these days is to give us bloggers a topic to write about when we might otherwise be feeling uninspired. Today was the first of such days, the theme being “5 movies that have influenced your writing (or blog).”
Since my little blog is mostly photos…I had a hard time. I tried though! I stretched and fought, trying to make connections to movies that might be believable. Ultimately, I decided it was silly to force movies to fit into my needs. There are LOADS of great bloggers who did use the prompt, or a variation of the prompt, today. You can check out a few of them here:

And from me, you get only a photograph. Or a few. Today’s theme for me was leading lines. I saw them everywhere. Do you ever get sick of leading linage?

Forgive me my trees, I’ve been taking a lot of these lately.
I like to try to capture the sheer height of the trees
How do you think I did? Was your eye lead into each of these photos? I would love to know what you think.
In other news, I’ve rediscovered an awesome website recently: Supercook. All you do is enter in all the ingredients you have available, and it gives you suggestions on what to make! I wanted to use up some of my random ingredients, and there could be no better website than this to help me achieve this goal!
I love the tree ones. I need to work on remembering leading lines. I tend to chop off heads with horizons.
oh no! haha. well, sometimes the horizons are more important than the heads. ;)

I love how you expressed a theme through the photos, and what beautiful photos. Bloggers like you inspire me to keep picking up my camera.
Wow, thanks Victoria! Some days I have to really prod myself to get out there, but I’m always happy when I do!
I remember reading a novel once in which they discussed how there are no perfectly straight lines in nature, and that everything in the human landscape changed once we began building things with straight lines in them. Lovely pictures, Abra!
How interesting! I guess that is true, huh! I love finding both straight and curved lines, there’s something to be said for both. Thanks for your comments, Marcie!
