The Tangled Vine Look

Ala, "The Artist Otherwise Known as Prince", I'm considering changing my name to this here symbol of a tangled, mixed up vine. Its how I feel right now. Though not at all a fan of the singer formerly known as Prince, I do think his idea of using a symbol to refer to himself is quite intriguing and unique.

This photo was one of the last ones my camera produced before it gasped its final breath a couple weeks ago. Wild, weedy vines adorning fences and posts are fascinating, this one happening to be along the road where I walk. When I'm driving and an interesting vine comes into view, its a struggle to resist immediately pulling over to stop and contemplate the curling tangles.

One of my daughters has a head of naturally curly hair, often resembling the scene in the above photo. Here she is in black and white, taken on a warm, sunny afternoon last fall. There were times through the years when her curly locks were a great frustration to her......one time she asked, "Why did God give me crooked hair?" Now that she's older, though, appreciation is there, and she enjoys the variety of styles her hair will allow. She has one of those straighteners, and occasionally uses it, causing her to look like an entirely different person! Not often, though, for a full hour is required to accomplish the straightened hairdo look!

Have a great day, anyone who happens by this blog! Like I said, I'm not a Prince fan, but his symbol-for-a-name idea is prompting me to challenge YOU to consider what symbol you would use to signify yourself today.
