Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #66: Filling the Frame
For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week, Patti invited us to look at Filling the Frame. She demonstrated her photos of the differences of not filling the frame and filling the frame.
The bees love sunflowers. This photo was taken in the summer 2018 as I waited to catch this position of the bee.
There are many kinds of birds in my garden. I watch them and feed them and caught this House Finch cracking a sunflower seed.
This photo was taken when we walked around Laguna Lake by our house. There were many turtles but this one was most handsome and colorful. This close-up shot allowed me to see its body texture and colors and the look on its face.
There was a wildfire in Columbia Gorge in Washing, Oregon area in September 2017 caused by a 15-year-old boy igniting fireworks. The sky was covered with smoke. This was early in the afternoon.
The human eyes usually cannot gaze directly to the sun. The smoke was intense and filtered the ray so we were able to look right at the sun.
I used to study the moon cycles and paid attention to the Red Blood moon and the Blue moon. California is not a good location to glimpse the intensity of the colors of the moon. January 2018 was the first appearance of full moon of the year. This full moon photo was taken from our driveway early at night.
This was taken at the same time of the night. I zoomed in to view the shadows of the moon.

You take gorgeous photos, Miriam. I remember that fire well and all the smoke clogging the air. A tragedy, though it made for some amazing shots. 🙂

It was tragedy, Diana. I had multiple and lengthy stay with my daughter for the birth of her daughter during today time. I worried the smoke would trigger her asthma. They had all the windows and doors closed. 🙂
Hope all is well with your parents.

Wow! Miriam, these are wonderful and I find the final moon photo mesmerising. The turtle one is astonishing in the detail it reveals and I’m sure there is a knowing expression!

Good to see you here, Annika! WordPress made me unfollow many bloggers. They see me but I don’t see them. So I tried to follow them again one by one!

Miriam, I’ve noticed exactly the same thing! I’m revisiting blogs and find I’ve been unfollowed from them. Can’t understand why or how … WP is erratic at times. Lovely to connect again and thank you so for your comment on my blog … I’ll answer there tomorrow. Bedtime here!

Sadly, with no surprise, they just said my blog is normal and showed me the “follow” button. 🙃 I’ll just figure out on my own. This is not the first time. 🙁
