take 2
yesterday’s barberry branches before i nipped and tucked them into a perfect carpet. interestingly, i posted both of these images (yesterday’s and today’s) on instagram and asked people to vote on their favorite. i got about 100 votes, and while i have not added up the exact tally, it appears to be pretty much split 50/50: 50% ordered carpet, 50% random spill. what surprises me the most, is that those who prefer order seem to strongly prefer order, and those who prefer a little mess, strongly prefer a little mess. it makes on think.
barberry branches in autumn
Oh, give me the orderly carpet for this particular subject. But with the branches spread out, I can spot those nasty thorns!
Yes, I also prefer the orderly carpet. The colors are prettier when they are arranged carefully.
