It’s a busy day today. Tomorrow we head up to Lassen National Park where we will have no wifi, no internet or cell reception. So, I need to get this post done NOW! Nothing like a little motivation.

But Amy’s challenge of framing a photograph sent me way back (10 years ago) when I started photography. Actually, I wanted to see whether I was framing at that point. My trip back showed me that I was framing, but wasn’t shooting or editing that well. I don’t think I had Lightroom at that time. So, I ran my selections through a quick edit process.

Anyway, here they are. I saw that I used trees as a natural frame.

My next example is using a background as a frame. This is my younger grandson at Disney World. He’s now entering High School.

When does a stairwell become a frame that is leading lines? This was taken in Old Sacramento.

This colorful door is framed by neon and color. Could you resist taking a picture? This is Peggy Sue’s diner in Mesquite Nevada. The inside is just as amazing as the outside. And, oh, the food is good too.

My last picture is of the Tower Bridge in Sacramento. The bridge entrance is framed by street lights. The car light trails make this frame seem like an open box.

Thank you Amy for getting me to see just how far my photo abilities have come. I enjoyed looking back! When you post, please link back to her post and use the Lens-Artists tag. Last week, we all agreed that life is a work in progress, and I enjoyed your responses to Ann-Christine’s challenge. Next week John is presenting our challenge, so look for his post.

Now back to loading the trailer.

    1. Thanks PR! We had a fun trip camping without water, electric, cell and internet connection. Fortunately, our trailer had water and we used a generator to run our batteries. I’ll be posting on Lassen NP soon.

    1. Thanks Terri! We did enjoy our trip. No cell, internet, water, electric! We managed though. It’s been a long time since we dry camped. What got to us was the altitude. My husband could hardly breathe and I was having some problems too. Any ideas for lower altitude camping?

  16. Great examples. You are clearly a natural at finding frames. I think we need to seek out Peggy Sue’s next time we travel through. We have friends who winter in that area. I especially love your tree shots.
