Blue Hydrangea ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Rule of Thirds

Posted on February 22, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This photo is one of a series in which my focus was to study the blue of the flowers when silhouetted against a bright blue, sunny day sky. The “rule of thirds” is what pulls your eye into this particular shot.

Spring Wine ~ Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Symmetry

Posted on February 16, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

With family here for a collective birthday celebration, and a temperature of 75f yesterday, my sister and I enjoyed our wine while talking by the pond and on the deck. What a joy to be part of a dear family, and to have most everyone near enough to be together often.

IMG_1273This week’s photo challenge is to share an image of symmetry — we were encouraged to bend the theme in any way we like.

“And wine gladdens the heart of man.”

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

This week’s photo challenge is to provide a sense of scale in a photograph. This ship anchor, is as big as the picnic table behind it. The tables and house in the background provide additional dimensions to the scale in this photo.
