This week the WordPress photo challenge is “threes” as in three photos that tell a story…or a photo with three of something in it…or three angles of the same object…or, and this is what I did, three photos starting from the broad topic and moving to the detail.   There are endless possibilities for great shots that include something of threes.  Design uses the rule of three all the time and you probably use it unconsciously when you’re out taking photos, or designing that kitchen or painting that next masterpiece or just redecorating the living room.

I thought about showing you more of the immediate world around me.  But that would involve snow and I know you’re all tired of snow.  I certainly am.  I wanted something brighter, happier, colorful.  Where to go to find that?  I was thinking about this conundrum during my morning commute which passes, by happenstance, the local nursery.  As in summertime hopes, heat, flowers.  Flowers.  I wonder what’s inside this time of year?

Want to see?  Well, here you go!

A bit of joyful pink to brighten your day!  At the nursery I could pretend, for a few short minutes, at the end of a long harsh winter that spring was just around the corner.  I’m sure it is…

…isn’t it?

Here and here and here are some of my favorite ‘threes’ from others who posted their own creativity for this photo challenge.
