Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #262: Framing your photo

Sometimes, you have to think "outside the box" to re-imagine the "box".  Especially when the theme is "framing".  So I remembered a sight from this year's Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration.  Having run out of counter space to display all their accordions for sale, the owner of Tempo Trend Music from Victoria, BC enlisted a perfect …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #220: One subject, three ways

Whenever I am photographing something I like, I always take multiple shots from different angles and distances.  A pleasing subject is often pleasing in numerous ways.  Take the beautiful vase of flowers my husband sent me for Valentine's Day this year.  It had so many different flowers, different colors, and different angles, I just had …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #126: Alphabet, Subjects beginning with the Letter “A”

This week's challenge turns out to be more difficult than I had anticipated.  I had lots of subjects in mind, but then thought a little harder.  With all the very upsetting things happening in our Nation this year, I have decided that, for me, the most important "A" subject must be, America.  At age 71, …

Scenes from South Dakota

On September 1, my Hubby and I got into our car, and drove to South Dakota, for a Ricochet meetup with members from all over the US.  Our drive took us through Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota finally.  It was an uneventful drive, and the scenery we saw was spectacular.  We …
