Something Swinging
by Rachel Hoyt
This item has a much longer history than many know.
Many probably buy them solely for a pretty show,
Yet once upon a time they were used for protection,
To send evil spirits running the other direction.

Friday Photo
Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

After the
answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo...
and just in
case you wanted to know,
the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.

Bryan guessed the answer quite quickly this week -
wind chimes were the item of which I speak.
Even though it looks more like water, it can't be because water runs not swings! I'm guessing a dream catcher!
ReplyDeleteNo, but you're very close. :) I think this item is less well known for warding off evil...
DeleteWind Chimes!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I think I nailed it this time :D
You did! Great job!! Can you see their shadow? :)
