Clamjamfrey
I just learned the word clamjamfrey over on Darla's blog. It's a Scots' term that can apply to a mish-mash, a gallimaufry, a hodge-podge of miscellaneous things.
I don't think of your post as a "mish-mash" because that seems more like the pile of stuff in the corner of the closet floor...somehow squeezed together, while your sharing is a procession of a kind. Glad to add another word to my imaginary vocabulary, though I doubt that I'll be able to use it in language actually.

Whatever you call them, I love your mixtures of photos.
