I collect fish. To be honest, I started when my kids were little because it made gift-giving easier for them; if it had a fish on it Mom would like it. I picked fish because I really love how fluid and fantastical they are in real life, and it’s fascinating to see how different artists have rendered that in their works. I have pictures on my walls, mobiles hanging from the ceiling, and shelf after shelf of fish sculptures. I picked just a few of them for this picture, to show something of the variety I’ve found.
Do you collect anything? I’d like to hear about it! Tell us about it in the comments.
If you’re interested, you can join in on the photo challenge! Pick any image you created you can label with the letter F. Fireworks, falafel, fiddles,or finger puppets; anything with an F will work Here’s how to participate.
- Post an image on your own blog or website.* All types of images are welcome. If you have serious equipment and serious skills, that’s awesome! If you snap pics on your phone (like me), that’s also awesome!
- Post a comment on this page with a link back to your post. If you post a comment that includes a link to your blog, I will add a link to your post below.
- Check back over the next week to follow the links. That way you can see what other people did with the theme and join in the fun.
Olgum Godim has another lovely book cover for this week’s theme, all about fairies! Check it out here.
*Just so we’re all clear, you post your photos on your own site, which means you aren’t giving control to me or to anyone else. We’re all invited to view the images you post (and comment if your site allows for comments), but nobody has the right to use your images in any way without your permission. Got it? Great!
Love your fish. I collect monkeys. I bring them from every trip I’ve ever taken. Even when I went on a cruise to Alaska, I found a couple of monkeys there, in a souvenir shop.

Monkeys are the very definition of fun, aren’t they! I’ love to see that collection. Thanks for your comment, and for your lovely cover.

Your fish are beautiful. I have a collection of angels, most of which are packed away except at Christmas.

Angels are perfect for Christmas, aren’t they! I’ve got a collection of Christmas trees for my mantlepiece at Christmas time, but the fish are year-round. Thanks for visiting.

It’s great to have a year-round collection. You don’t ever have to say goodbye unless something gets broken.

Very true. I used to have a couple of tropical fish, but they died. 😥 The fish art only needs to be dusted occasionally. Much easier to maintain.

Dusted fish would not do well in my house. They’d drown in dust here. It’s nice your fish are cared for.

Well, mine aren’t overly dusted. Sufficiently dusted? Occasionally dusted? Minimally dusted may be more accurate. 😉

You’d leave me in the dust.
