Sunday Stills

Today's challenge is to find scenes that are framed by nature.
...no words necessary...


Some scenes just catch your eye; I shot this before the challenge was posted.


I am fortunate to have trees surrounding my yard, they make wonderful natural frames for the ever changing mountain scenery here.

I threw this one in just for fun- hoofprints framed by snow.

Linda- got to my blogroll on my sidebar and click on the blog link for Sunday Stills Challenge. Each week, Linda or Ed posts a challenge a week in advance, so we have a week to prepare our post. Then on Sunday, we leave a comment on the post that tells us what the challenge is,(On the Sunday Stills Challenge blog) with a link back to our blogpost. Everyone who participates leaves a comment there, so to see all the posts you just have to go through the comments and click on the links to see a lot of really wonderful and varied photos all on the same subject.
It has really helped my photography to have something specific to work on.

Really neat pictures. You have fantastic views at your place. I do LOVE the kitty photo! I'll try to get outside with my camera today and take a shot and post it at my blog. I did write a post recently posing a question to fellow horse-owners. If you get a chance, can you check it out and give me your take on it? www.horsetalkindiana.blogspot.com
Thanks....

Love the kitty and the hoof print is a great idea. The scenery is lovely.

Crystal said...

Love the kitty shot too, I kinda wanted to get something framed by trees but the moon wasnt cooperative, and our cats never climb trees, so was out of luck this week

Linda said...

Thanks for explaining. Looks like next week's challenge is "liquids". I'm going to join in.

Ann said...

quick call 911, my cat is stuck up the tree.

Does she often go up there?

Shirley said...

Ann, my cats love the trees. It's their own personal playground.
