Friday Hometown Shootout - Symmetry

So the house is now as good as it is going to get.  It is listed and we are just waiting for people to come in and look at it...and, of course, buy it.  Then there will be the work of buying somewhere else to live and moving...

But for the moment, I have time to post for the Friday shootout.  Although I had no time to go out and find symmetry.  But that can't stop me.  And there is some good symmetry kicking around in the archives. 

Looking at the archives, I discovered that when people do symmetry there is nothing subtle about it.


Dogs are not very subtle either.


On the other hand, God is much more subtle about symmetry.



You have to look a little more carefully at the above two pictures to find elements of symmetry.

But the most difficult exercise in symmetry is what we go through every Christmas.  Some people just throw decorations at random on the tree.  But we take the time to make sure that the tree is perfectly symmetrical so the right side and the left side match.   This is not easy and you have to make sure that you have two of every decoration.

  1. Very funny...almost believable. But a tree like that means one or both of you are nearly insane.

  3. Your header photo is rather spooky - as much as I love symmetry, it is just not natural in person's face. Love the Christmas tree - must show it to my mum and sis, since they are usually the ones to decorate ours.

  6. Although not readily apparent, one comes to the conclusion that symmetry can be had. I think we have been had...and enjoyed it immensly.
