Weekly Challenge: Frame…

The prompt: We frame what we see through our lens. And it tends to be a process, whether you use the golden ratio, the rule of thirds, or just aim for the right balance.

But what about how the world frames itself? Look at things a bit differently,  find an alternative frame to the world around you and share what you see!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for ‘frame’ is this picture I took on Martha’s Vineyard.  The Tabernacle is one of my favorite places and I can never take enough pictures of it, however this is one of my favorites and it happened accidentally.  Don’t a lot of them :)   I was walking out of Trinity Methodist Church which is across from the Tabernacle and just snapped this shot as I approached the doorway.  I love how it frames just a snippet of the Tabernacle.

Weekly Challenge: Narrow…

This week, let’s keep things narrow (but not narrow-minded!): share a photo with your take on the theme.

Cherry On Top…

Weekly prompt: The cherry on top. The icing on the cake. Or, as the straightforward folks at Oxford Dictionaries explain it, “a desirable feature perceived as the finishing touch to something that is already very good.”

Show us the detail that made a good experience a truly transcendent one — let’s celebrate the cherries on top!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This sign for ba-da bing cherries from New Jersey, although not icing on a cake,  made my day by making me smile..:)

Weekly Challenge: Look Up…

For this week’s challenge, take a moment to look up. Whether it’s the fan above your head at work, your bedroom ceiling, or the night sky, what do you see? Is it familiar? Or does it show you a new perspective on your surroundings?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love the architecture of New York City and even though I have many photos looking up at the tops of buildings I think this one of the Chrysler Building might be one of my favorites.  I happen to look at just the right time as the sun was hitting the windows near the top of this beautiful art deco building.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Opposites…

In the photo this week, show how opposites can tell a story about people, places, or objects.

I chose the The National Monument to the Forefathers — also known as the Pilgrim Monument in Plymouth, MA. The monument is topped by a 36-foot-tall statue of Faith, who alone weighs 180 tons. Surrounding statues include Liberty, Peace, Tyranny, Education, Wisdom, Youth, Law, Mercy, Justice, and Morality.

Here is the statue and four opposite sides… Education, Morality, Liberty, Law.

Weekly Challenge: Pure…

Find beauty in the mundane, and purity in the midst of our chaotic, over-connected world. For this week’s challenge, share a photo of something pure — it can be a person, an object, or a moment. “Pure” can convey wholesomeness, something undiluted, or simplicity.

Weekly Challenge: Future …

 The prompt this week is to share our interpretation of future.

The gang plank of the Mayflower replica in Plymouth, MA.  This is definitely a step into the future…

These photographs were taken in October 2015 on a trip to Plymouth.  My descendants came to America on the first voyage of the Mayflower.  I could not imagine, even with my vivid imagination what their trip was like.  Hearty souls indeed.

Weekly Challenge: Dance …

In this week’s challenge, share a photo of something that appears like dance to you — whether you choose to focus on objects, animals, or people (actually dancing, or not), try to capture the rhythm in their movement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for ‘dance’ are these scuptures at the Field Gallery in W Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard.  You cannot but dance with these whimsical statues that dot the field behind the gallery.  They make me smile every time I go there :)

Weekly Challenge: Seasons …

This week the challenge is to embrace the season: share an image that embodies the world or the weather where you live.Share an image that expresses the seasonality of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My first inclination was to share photos of flowers because in the midst of February flowers blooming and things greening and the change of season is greatly looked forward to.

But.

This picture, taken in NYC a few yers ago,  definitely says change of season to me.

Weekly Challenge: Vibrant …

This week prompt is, share a photo of something vibrant. Vivid colors, a lively portrait, or perhaps a delightfully colorful landscape, if you’re in a warmer climate. Let’s wash the web with a rainbow of colors to keep the winter gloom at bay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My choice for vibrant is a photo of Times Square in New York City.  The colors, the crowds, the noises… it all adds to the vibrancy of what they call the ‘crossroads’ of the world..
