Curved and straight lines appear in nature and in items made by humans. In the WordPress weekly photo challenge, those curved or Twisted lines are the theme for this week.
In Hawaii last January, we encountered so many colorful birds! These two Saffron Finches were happily enjoying the sunshine. The one on the right really contorted to get those feathers preened just so!
Other twists are going on in the photo, too. Can you see them?
Drop by my Sunday Stills Photo Challenge page any time to add your photos and links to the fun! The June calendar is up, so start planning today!
Enjoy the start to your Memorial Day holiday weekend to those who celebrate.

Beautiful little birds! That’s a very twisted plant too… is it a plumeria?

They are very tame. Not sure of the plant, plumerias don’t bloom in January, darn it!

Hi, Terri – I’ve loved reading and seeing different bloggers and photographers take on the prompt “Twisted”. Your photo is an excellent choice (including how you’ve placed your watermark)!

Good photo for the theme. Lots of twisting going on there. It is indeed a plumeria, which will bloom first and then add leaves, a striking progression.

Thanks for confirming that, Graham, I’ve only visited Hawaii in January when they are apparently not blooming. My favorite flower, my goal to shoot a real one some day soon!

Thanks, Tina, I have to admit when I prepped it for publishing, I hadn’t noticed the twisted cable…I originally focused on the contorted bird.

Can I see some twisted cable in those photos as well, Terri? Beautiful little birds. Their colour against the blue sky is amazing. Blue and yellow always go so well together.

So many twists in a single photograph, Terri! Twisted cables, branches, and bird’s neck. Great photo and love the colorful birds against the gray branches.

I just got back from Savannah, and there were some marvelously twisted old trees. I didn’t get any pictures of them. I always forget to take pictures, then wish I had.
