This week, Sofia invites us to think BOLD. “Being bold is a statement, translated in ideas, views, colour combinations, designs. A break from the norm.”
This playground feature at the Spokane Riverfront Park is BOLD in its conspicuous and prominent size. Children of all ages are captivated by it!
So many scenes in nature are BOLD, like the sunset sky at Crescent Creek, OR reflecting a striking orange-red on the water. Flowers are designed to be showy so that they attract pollinators. Both the Parrot Tulip and orange Calla lily are eye-catching examples.
Dowitchers probe the shoreline of Long Beach, WA. There are two kinds of Dowitchers; Long-billed and Short-billed. I have tried to determine which these are and every time I do the research I realize “it’s difficult to say for sure”! In any event they are BOLD looking birds with their impressive beaks and imposing posture.
Chihuly Garden Glass art is indeed BOLD and beautiful. Individual works, like the large bowl, are spectacular in size and color. Installments like marshland “birds” and red spires set behind a bank of evergreen shrubs are arresting.

Beautiful choices! I especially love the Chihuly. The red wagon surprised me–I didn’t realize its size until I noticed the people!
Thank you, Jill. I’m glad you enjoyed it, and a pleasant surprise is always welcome!
What beautiful photos you shared with us, Nora! The flowers, the glass work, the birds, and the sunset are all so stunning.
Thank you, Egídio. I’m always pleased to receive your kind thoughts!
Lindy, my apologies for the senior moment. I used the wrong name.
No problem, Egídio. I am in awe at how all of you Lens-Artist hosts reply to so many of us, and keep it true to the post. Senior moments, now I know I’ve heard that term somewhere before, I just don’t remember what it means!!! HA!
Wonderful! I love the Chihuly glass, the creativity and craftmanship are indeed bold. The sunset is beautiful and I’ve never seen an orange Calla Lily before.
Thank you, Sofia. That Chihuly glass just fits into so many challenges. I’m glad you enjoyed the sunset shot. My sister has a lovely large patch of the orange Calla Lilies in her gardens. Think I’ll transplant some next fall!
These bold captures are really wonderful
Thank you, Hammad. It was a fun challenge!
Love it, Lindy – and why did I not think of Chihuly?!
Thank you, Leya. Well, you had plenty of boldness to choose from!
Great examples of bold images and that last picture is just amazing Lindy! My neighbor studied with Chihuly and has his own glass blowing shop. His yard is sprinkled with beautiful glass flowers.
Thank you, Anne. I love that sunset photo and am glad you like it too!
😍
