Oh, I am so in love with the photos in this mosaic this week! I do wish that the tool I use to create the mosaics would allow me to move the blocks around a bit, though. The colors in the top two rows are much richer than those in the bottom two rows. A little randomization would make the whole thing more cohesive. Ah, well, that’s not really all that important in the grand scheme of things.
There’s so much beauty in the everyday, don’t you think? These photos prove it.
