Nature Does A Chihuly

Ever since I was introduced to the works 

of glass artist Dale Chihuly, 

I can't help think of his work whenever 

I see an object having an edge 

of a contrasting color.

The leaves on the decorative plant

is just such an example.

Yeh, yeh, yeh, Nature may have done it

first, but the leaves did recall

the bowls shown below;

with numerous examples to choose from,

it's almost inevitable I would find

a set of green baskets having

contrasting lips, but whether they're

purple, blue, or black, I can't tell.

Theme Day: Mystery Object

Hmmm, theme day comin' up. Topic: Mystery Object. 

Shall I post something I find to be mysterious? 

Or just enlarge an image until it's unrecognizable?

Here is it's info from a collectors' website:
"The No. 42 is a double petticoat type, with a long, smooth leakage path 
on the inner petticoat. It sits close to the cross-arm, thus giving the pin protection against rain splash. Its threads are accurately formed 
for a tight grip on the pin. The wire groove is a modern square type shown in Spec. 1-A-33 of the Association of American Railroads, and is accepted as standard for most telephone construction."


Hell, I just think they're pretty and have been fascinated by them
since childhood, when I first noticed them atop telephone poles.
Now I have three of my very own.
