July Mini Photo Challenge: Lines

Eileen at A Bracelet of Days has been hosting a monthly mini photo challenge, giving a theme for each month.  Participants are required to post a minimum of five photos reflecting that month's theme; the only requirement is that the photos have to be taken during the month.  These are my entries for this month's photo challenge.  The theme is "line(s)":


Scribble Lines


My mother had preserved this piece of paper in my "baby book" - as she had notated, I had scribbled these lines, on August 14, 1957, with my father's pen!  



Covid Worry Lines

Sounds better than wrinkles, don't you agree?  LOL!



Growth Lines

Another item from my "baby book" - a line graph plotting my weight (pounds) by age (weeks).  .



Palm Lines

The lines on your non-dominant hand are supposed to be the lines you've inherited, showing the influence of your ancestors, while the lines on the dominant hand are supposed to be representative of the impact you've had on your own life!


Lines of Poetry

Lines from a poem my mother wrote for me on my first birthday, expressing her wishes for me.  Another treasured piece of loose paper she had inserted between the pages of my baby book.   

Thank you, Eileen, for this month's mini photo challenge.  I enjoyed participating and putting my own interpretation on the theme.

    I wonder what you were thinking while scribbling those lines. Drawing something? Or trying to write like your dad? Whenever I see a baby I wonder what they think. 😊

      No doubt I was very engrossed in creating a masterpiece! LOL. I am very amused that my mother kept it!

    These are brilliant, Bless. You've really come up with some different interpretations of 'line'. Thanks for joining in.

    I didn't know that the lines on each palm represented different things. I will have to Google what each line means.

    I'll post mine this weekend.

      Thank you, Eileen. I didn't know about the different palms having different meanings, myself, until recently. I used to think that one read the lines on the left hand for women and right hand for men!

      Looking forward to seeing your post. :)

    What lovely remembrances your mother was careful to preserve for you.
    I'm sure you love having them.

    I think we all have Covid worry lines!

      I do love having all the notes my mother made. I'm still surprised that so many of the loose pieces of paper have managed to survive the years and many moves.

      Ha, ha, no botox here! I wear my wrinkles with pride! :D

    I agree with the others--great choices for lines. I especially like the lines of poetry.
