365/61: If good fences make good neighbors, do pretty fences make pretty neighbors?

the weather is cloudy. my mind is foggy. So to pull myself out of it, or at least give the appearance that I'm all sunshine and smiles, I figured I'd go for a bright abstract.

 

View on black.

 

How I did it (since someone asked): post-it makes these pop-up notes that alternate colors. I strung them out across a glass table that I windexed first (very, very important step!). The light comes entirely from a window that at about 8 o'clock (behind and to the left of me when i was shooting). It was a cloudy day, so it was diffuse sunlight. That's it. No fancy strobist info to share! In post-processing, I increased the saturation and contrast a bit, but nothing more than that.
