PhotoHunt: Garbage

For July 11, shot with a Nikon D60

paintball

There are two paintball fields in the town where I live. These spent balls were swept up into the corners of one of the fields. Trash, garbage… but still a rainbow of color.

My mother has several of these double Tiger Lilies growing in her yard. I’ve never seen any others like it.

    The tiger lilies are wonderful.

    Great shots. The lily is still beautiful if not perfect. and that is the prettiest rubbish I’ve seen! Happy weekend

    wow that is a nice picture for the theme. Happy weekend. Mine is up too.

    Love the paint balls! Before I read the caption, I was wondering if they were spilled gum balls!

  8. 2009 July 11

    I love the paintballs! They look like candy.

  9. 2009 July 11

    Okay, that “garbage” photo is brilliant.

  10. 2009 July 11

    they do not look like garbage to me..

  11. 2009 July 11

    Actually rather pretty for garbage.

  12. 2009 July 11

    Now that is an attractive photo of garbage. I suppose it gets cleaned up now and again.

    Happy weekend.

  13. 2009 July 11

    The garbage photo is hypnotic. What do they do with all those things?

  14. 2009 July 11

    That’s what I call beautiful garbage. Great shot!

  15. 2009 July 11

    I love your ability to find shots that I would never think of!

    I have the same tiger lillies in our back yard!!

    xo

    Who would have thought that garbage could be pretty! Well done!

    My garbage is here.

  17. 2009 July 11

    I must say this is the most beautiful and colorful refuse I have seen today! The teen guy across the street was shooting a paint ball thing at the common area tree and somehow several landed in my yard.. nasty things if you don’t know what they are and they break as you pick them up!! My construction trash or garbage is up.

    I have never seen double tiger lillies, they’re beautiful and what a great shot!

    The picture of the trash is really cool! One man’s trash……

  19. 2009 July 11

    Ooh, what lovely, colorful paintballs!

  20. 2009 July 11

    I wonder what they do with these balls besides let them colorfully festoon the playing field? As always, love the color, the composition and the thought-provoking nature of your Superior Snaps. And speaking of which, Sx3 is manana, and I’ve actually got REAL prizes to offer! Whoda thunk? :)

    Goodness, but that tiger lily is fabulous!

  22. 2009 July 11

  23. 2009 July 11

    Very colourful garbage! Great pic for the theme :)

  24. 2009 July 11

    Until I read the text, I thought I was looking at gumballs!:-) Most attractive “garbage” I’ve seen all day…:-)

  25. 2009 July 11

    I’m digging the paintball shot. Unique.

  26. 2009 July 11

    They do look like skittles! And those double tiger lilies are beautiful! What great shots, Tara!

  27. 2009 July 11

    Very pretty garbage. ;-) The double daylilies are pretty too.

  28. 2009 July 11

    Pretty cool as garbage goes. Yeah, they do look like candy. Love the colors. Hope you’re having a great weekend Tara…. Hugs….

    Lovely rainbow of colors.

    It is colorful garbage. But if it is not handled carefully, it will still pose threat to our Mother Nature…

    This suddenly reminded me of a French film with Louis de Funes. There is a scene where he is chased through a bubblegum factory and falls in a vat of liquid gum and then gets covered in multicoloured gumballs… “Les aventures de Rabbi Jacob”.

    So many colours! That’s almost too pretty to be called garbage.

  33. 2009 July 12

    That garbage is surprisingly nice looking. It wouldn’t be so nice if it had washed up on a beach. Great choice. Thanks for visiting.

  34. 2009 July 13

    Nice! Thanks for dropping by ;)

  35. 2009 July 13

    Those paintballs look like they are balls from a ball pit!

  36. 2009 July 14

    Gorgeous flower!

  37. 2009 July 18

    STUNNING!

    Thanks for visiting my PH Garbage last week. :)
