“Bicycle, Bicycle, Bicycle
I want to ride my
Bicycle, Bicycle, Bicycle”
…. lyrics from “Bicycle Race” by Queen
In honor of National Bike Month, Terri ‘s challenge this week is Bikes. When I saw Terri’s topic the song “Bicycle Race” by Queen immediately popped into my head.
I haven’t ridden a bike in a long time. My balance just isn’t what it used to be.
Many thanks to Terri for her Sunday Stills challenge Bikes

Tina introduces us to the rule of three for this challenge. The rule says that images with three subjects make them more interesting and memorable. Our challenge is to include images with three subjects.
I’ve included a few images of groups of three I found in nature.
Last week Egidio challenged us to be creative while we were stuck in one place for 30 or more minutes. Your responses were wonderful. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge..

Egidio has given us a challenge to help us “unlock new inspiration in our photography.” His challenge is to stay in one place for 30 minutes to an hour. We can use the cameras, lenses and cell phones of our choice but we can only walk 10 or 15 steps in any direction to capture new images.
I’ve been in a rut recently with my photography so this challenge really motivated me to get out and have some fun with my camera. I’ve been watching the birds at our bird feeder from our deck but have not been inspired to take any photos until this challenge.
I chose a place in my back yard where I don’t usually sit. I had a great view of the bird feeder and the back yard. All of these photos were taken with a 400mm zoom lens. While I waited for birds I zoomed in on some random things.
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance to honor U.S. Military personnel who died in service to our country. In honor of this special day I will start with an American Flag from a neighbor’s back yard.
I’ve been wanting to get out to take photos and this challenge was just the inspiration I needed. Thank you Egidio!
I really enjoyed all of the different vibrant colors you showed us for Ritva’s Choose a Color challenge. Thank you to everyone who joined the challenge.
Many thanks to Egidio for this week’s challenge. If you would like to join the challenge please be sure to tag your post with Lens-Artists and include a link back to his post Lens-Artists #399: Stuck in Place.

This Bumble Bee on Purple Sage is in celebration of World Bee Day. I’m a few days late but I would like to thank Murtagh’s Meadow for reminding me that World Bee Day was May 20, 2026.
