This week’s prompt for 52 Photos is unusual and uncommon. I thought I’d give you a taste of each.

I decided to take a walk in my neighborhood (from a previous week’s theme) and see what kind of stacks and layers I could find for this week’s 52 Photos Project. Here’s what I found:

A flower tower:

A chalk handprint:

A red star:

A white peacock:

Which resembles these white fireworks:

A blue ornament from the period around Carnivale in Venice:

And this stunning sapphire pool at Yellowstone National Park:
