This week, show us something that doesn’t maintain a straight line.
By In nature, we rarely see straight lines. Organic materials tend to have natural curves to them, a natural movement to their form. Snail shells, like the one pictured below, twist as they grow. The center tip of the spiral — the apex — is composed of the snail’s original, baby shell. I find this to be delightfully symbolic of life itself — the path and process of growth being anything but straight and direct.

In this week’s photo challenge, show us something twisted. You can be literal in your interpretation — show us the coils of your hair, a winding woodland path, or a gnarled tree trunk. Or, be more abstract, and show us something that represents life’s inherently twisty character. We’re looking forward to it!

What a wonderful theme, especially the more metaphorical bent you’re suggesting.
I chose the graphic angle with the photograph, then went metaphorical with some words. 🙂

I wonder if, like vortices, the shells curve directionally one way in the northern hemisphere and another way in the southern hemisphere.

This is one of my favorite photo challenges so far. These twisted tree roots are not only nature’s artwork, but my imagination went wild planning how I’d use them as a shelter if I was stuck in the forrest overnight! https://lynnkelleyauthor.com/2018/05/twisted-tree-roots-would-make-a-nice-shelter-daily-post-photo-challenge/
