Every Day is a Gift!
Last week Sophia challenged us to show symmetry in our images. This week Donna has challenged us to show asymmetry – an informal sense of balance.
My first two images use the rule of thirds to show asymmetry.
For some reason I often capture birds in groups of three. The following images are some of my favorite bird trios.
Many thanks to our host Donna for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #274 – Asymmetry
Sofia has challenged us to feature images that show symmetry. She tells us that symmetry in photography “creates strong and balanced images” and that “our eyes find symmetry harmonious and pleasing.”
My first two images are examples of radial symmetry I found in hot air balloons as they were being inflated at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
The next images are examples of symmetry in architecture.
My last image is symmetry found in nature in my first Camellia bloom of the season.
Many thanks to our host Sophia for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #273 – Symmetry
Our challenge from John is Signs and Billboards. I can’t do a post about signs without including images of the Georgia Football Barn Sign located in Tennille, Georgia on Georgia Highway 15. There is more about the barn in my 2018 post UGA Barn Sign.The header image is the latest message on the barn. In honor of today’s annual meeting of the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators in Jacksonville, Florida I had to include this next image from November, 2019.
This first gallery is of a few wildlife warning signs.
This final gallery is just for fun.

Amy’s challenge is to show contrasts in our images.
My header photo shows the contrast of the red Magnolia seeds against the brown of the cone and the green of the leaves.
The next image shows the contrast between the brown desert grass and the colorful balloons in the blue sky.
I like the contrast of the orange beak of the puffin against the blue background of the ocean in this next image.
The following beach scene at sunrise contrasts the orange sky with the dark beach and the silhouettes of people watching the sunrise.
My final image contrasts the silhouette of the hot air balloon as it rises into the air at sunrise.
Many thanks to our host Amy for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #271 – Contrasts
For this challenge I chose some military aircraft images in honor of my father who was a United States Air Force pilot. Dad flew a B-24 Liberator during World War II. The header image is of a B-24 on display in Savannah, Georgia. Later in his career he also flew a B-17 and a B-47 like the ones on display at the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum in Pooler, Georgia. He also few a B-52 during his career.
The following slideshow features U. S. Air Force and U.S. Navy military aircraft on display at air shows and at the U. S. Naval Aircraft Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
Many thanks to our host Ann-Christine for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #270 – On Display
