I have a little confession. I'm having trouble with this month's
Sketchbook Challenge theme. As much as I usually love such things, "trashed, ruin, and decay" aren't something I'm really feeling during this month of bright reds and twinkling lights.

There isn't anything wrong with the theme at all. It's a fantastic theme. For my life right now - it's just a timing thing. I've been struggling to even want to try to create something with the theme.

It's only sketching it right now that's holding me up. I want to sketch the poinsettia sitting on my desk now, not the dead stuff outside.

On the other hand, put a camera in my hand and what you'll find on the card is tons of pictures of rust, cracked masonry, withered flowers.

Decaying things always have the most interesting textures, patterns, and colors to my eye. I love nothing more than peeling paint and fungi growing out of rotting wood.

I love this theme! I love photographing dying or dead desert plants or trees, especially. One of my favorite subjects!!! I love seeing what is inside, the texture, the colors, etc...I should count how many photos I have taken of dead or dying cactus. It's a lot.
