there is man made order
from neatly packed shelves, flower plantings and architectual delights
then there is natural order
from cloud formations to perfectly symmetrical flowers
how we ‘place our orders’
for food, lattes or any service
then there is imposed order
like laws and social mores
some are very pleasing visually but others jar as chaos beckons
what ‘order’ pleases you and which ones irritate?
Beautiful photos! I love looking at all those colors!
When my oldest was 4 years old, I went into his bedroom and organized everything using containers, labels, shelves, etc. After I was all done and so proud of myself, he said, “Mom, I liked it better when it was a bit messy.” Ha! 😀 But, as a man he keeps things orderly and clean, and his wife appreciates it, and him. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

I like the more subtle order of nature which also lives with chaos, I struggle with human order.

Great pictures to show order Kate. I’m also one who likes order in my life and home (though occasionally a bit of a tornado comes through to disrupt it!)

you still have a son at home so it would be more unusual if you didn’t have the occasional tornado 🙂

Fantastic pictures to show order. I like order but not necessarily symmetry. For instance I like pictures on a wall to show balance but I do not want them “in order.” Does that make sense?

no no I get that Oneta .. went to a funeral last week where they had a slide show of Beryl’s life and made me appreciate lack of order as it weaved in and out of early days and later years 🙂
