Wednesday Vignette, flatlay fail

When you're good at something you naturally make it look easy. When you're not, well, then there's this.

Inspired by the many stunning flatlay images Dan Carlson posts to his Instagram account, I thought I'd try something similar with the treasures I picked up on our recent Gorge-getaway. Obviously I need a better background than one of our pathway pavers. Something that allows the texture of the items to take the stage, not to compete with them.

I also tried using a brighter background, but since it was indoors there was a horrible reflection from the overhead lights. Still, it works for zooming in for a couple of close-ups: mossy hunk of wood, a naturally forking bit of driftwood, acorns and a lichen covered rock.
I couldn't help but bring home one of the deer vertebrae I found...
The only thing I can think that this might be is part of a handle for turning a spigot on and off.

Andrew thinks maybe this was an improvised anchor for a small fishing watercraft. I grabbed it for the rusty bit, and haven't removed the belt yet. I reminds me of one my brothers had when they were kids. I think there were holsters and toy guns involved.

I can't help but pick up shells when I see them. Here they were just the tiny white clam shells, except for this one. It has to be the smallest shell I've ever found. I'm not even sure how I spotted it.
