Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

I’ve never been a fan of hostas.

Their huge leaves look overly tropical and out of place nestled under pine trees. Their mounds of foliage jump out and grab your attention – in the most boring greenish way possible. I suppose I understand how the leaves can be attractive- until Japanese Beetles attack and all you have left are attention grabbing, pillowy mounds of weird, tropical looking plants riddled with holes awaiting an imminent frost that will turn them into giant, brown piles of mush…

I’ve never been a fan of hostas.

But, the new house came with shade.

Lots of shade.

My hosta hating self is now the proud owner of lots of shade and lots of hostas.

But you know… if you take a picture from underneath the leaf, give it a bit of pick-me-up in Photoshop, then turn the whole thing upside down… I almost like it.

Of course it no longer looks much like a hosta.

In fact it almost reminds me of a water slide.

I have always been a fan of water slides!
