Project: Patterns and Backgrounds

 This one is called "Pink is a manly color." I took it on my kitchen counter.  It's a pattern because... well, because... it's a pattern.

I call this one "Pine Tree."  I took it off my deck.  It shows good background because the blue sky and other trees don't distract to much from the subject, the pine tree.

I call this one "Listening to my jams." I took it in my schoolroom.  It has a terrible background.  The diaper boxes, history timeline, printer, and pretty much everything distract from the subject, my sister.
