Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Geometry

Patti’s challenge this week says “The world is full of shapes. Circles, squares, ovals, triangles, and even some of your favorites from geometry class like parallelograms. For this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, we are focusing on geometry—shapes that are visually interesting and form a pattern or rhythm.”

It’s been over 50 years since I had a geometry class and at first I was intimidated by this challenge. As I looked through my archives I found geometry in architecture, other man made things, nature, and even food. The image above is of a Fresnel lens in a lighthouses. The rest of the images feature random shapes from my archives.

Many thanks to Patti for this week’s Lens Artists photo challenge #141: Geometry

It was my pleasure to host last week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #140: Change of Scenery. Many thanks to every one who contributed to the challenge. Your beautiful photos took me on a trip across the United States and Canada, and around the world to Africa, India, the U.K., Sweden, and many more amazing places. Thank you!

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #140 – A Change of Scenery

I have the honor of hosting this week’s Lens-Artists photo challenge. If you are able to do so, we are challenging you to get out and look for a change of scenery. You don’t have to go far from home. It can be in your neighborhood, town, or even a car ride away. Maybe there is a nearby park you haven’t been to in a while, or maybe you’ve been wanting to try a different route on your walk, run, or bike ride. If you are unable to get out right now, we’d love for you to browse through your archives to feature images from places you have visited in the past when you needed a change of scenery.

It’s been a long time since we have gone anywhere so my husband and I took off last week for a short road trip. Three nights in a small town on the Gulf Coast of Florida was just what we needed to recharge our batteries. Morning walks, nature trails, lots of birds, watching the sunset, and fresh delicious seafood were just what the doctor ordered.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Tina’s Special Moments challenge last week. It was a joy to see so many special moments and read the incredible stories that went along with the images.

Many thanks to Tina, Ann-Christine, Patti and Amy for inviting me be be your host this week. I’m looking forward to seeing all of your responses!

Bird Weekly Challenge – Osprey, White Pelican and Anhinga

There are many more birds that eat fish as their primary diet. I’ve chosen these images of birds with the freshly captured fish.
