It’s three months since the last ‘scribbles’ post and I’m excited to be able to present you with another set today. Let me know what you think of them.

The Octopus

As a child I was very afraid of octopuses and becoming aware of the blue ringed octopus added to that fear. However, viewing several movies recently involving interaction between humans and this intelligent, playful sea creature has modified my fear.

********

Infinite Possibilites

I’m hopeless at maths, except for the most basic form. Yet Quantum Mechanics (which I’m told is pure maths) fascinates me. Apparently some physicists from this discipline argue that unchosen paths (the possible alternative choices that we didn’t make), are not lost, nor are they realised in the physical domain. Instead, they exist as mathematical probabilities that didn’t materialise.

Imagine this concept applied to the image below. I’d love to see the mathematical calculations, even though I wouldn’t understand them.

Sea Life

A Ghost-Like Image

Peeling the Onion

Many years ago I attended classes based on Transactional Analysis Psychology. One of the therapeutic techniques used by proponents of this discipline was referred to as ‘Peeling the Onion’ or gradually uncovering the layers of emotions and protective mechanisms of their client, to reach the core issues.

********

The Cardboard Cubby House

Sometimes the best part of a child’s new toy is the packaging.

********

Frequency Pattern

This pattern displays two different coloured columns: purple and orange squares together in one column; black and grey circles together in another column. Each colour has a different frequency; that is the number of repetitions of squares or circles per column. In addition, the grey circles appear at variable frequencies. Consequently each colour has a different time; that is the space between each repetition.

Since the frequencies do not ‘line up’ they are Divergent Frequencies.

The black lines are intended to add visual interest.

********

Lollypop Universe

A frivolous attempt to conjure an alternate universe.

I hope you’ve enjoyed viewing this set of ‘scribbles’.
