e pluribus unum

e pluribus unum

September 3, 2014


This week's challenge selection is e pluribus unum by Christine.  Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme: Fishing Guy, Katney, Imac, Lew, and Christine Anne.

The Seal of the United States of America includes the Latin phrase e pluribus unum.  That means, "out of many, one." It may also be translated, "One from many." My first thought for the theme would be a macro of the phrase as it appears on our smallest coin. On the dime, it is a little more than a centimeter across. One of my favorite things in life is a healthy lawn. That one lawn is actually made up, not just of many blades, but also out of many individual plants that are groomed to look like one unit. A lush, green carpet of bare-footin' goodness!  (The rainbow in the header was real. What a bonus!)

It's impossible for me to read this tiny Latin phrase on a dime without help.


Out of many drops, one rain.


Out of many tissue papers, one flower.


Out of many seeds, one overgrown lawn.


Out of many bricks, one wall.

I really like your take on this theme. You did a great job of showing how many individual 'things' make one entity.

Nicely done! Time to get bigger coins and to crank up the lawn mower (same problem here with a rainy week).
