Today marks the end of an era for City Daily Photo Bloggers. Ever since I started posting with this group back in July of 2008, I have always participated in the monthly themes presented on the first day of every month. As of September 2020, it will end. So, for this last Theme Day post the subject is a favorite photo from our archives. This was very difficult for me because I have so many favorites over the years. However, I finally decided to narrow it down to photos I've had framed and that now hang on the walls at my home. This one from 2011 fit the bill perfectly.
I posted this one on
October 2nd, 2011.
Shortly after I posted this photo, I had an enlargement made and I then took the print to a local framing store. The woman who helped me with the framing knew how to make this photo a masterpiece. I think the framing is as wonderful as the photo is.
I enjoy a good artistic challenge so I'll miss our monthly themes. Fortunately I still have my "Art Challenge" group to trigger my sense of self expression.
Piękna fotografia.
ReplyDeleteMy compliments, a beautiful photo and even in the frame more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a spectacular image,
ReplyDeleteIs City Daily Photo stopping, or just changing directions?
Stunning photo and very well framed as well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful scene and even more beautiful with a frame.
ReplyDeleteOh I remember this so well Sharon, it is a superb shot, definitely one of those 'I wish I'd taken it' images. The framing could not be more perfect 💜
ReplyDeleteIt is fabulous, Sharon! The framing is perfect for your image.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun reading the comments on the original post and seeing Randy, Birdman, etc.
A perfect image for the theme day. Four monarchs lined up perfectly? An embarrassment of riches. BTW, Bob Crowe of St. Louis DP is thinking about continuing the theme days. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe framing is just outstanding! It really brings out the beauty of the photo. Your abstract painting is also good. I have about three feet between the ceiling and the kitchen cabinets, and have thought about trying to paint something to go up there. Would it have killed the builder to go up another foot?
ReplyDeleteLovely choice, Sharon. The framing is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're right, Sharon. That is a wonderful photo and the matting and framing of it is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Sharon !
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a stunning photo! And definitely worthy of being blown up and framed! I absolutely love it. And the framing job is just perfect too. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat IS a great photo! Back when I started blogging I joined the city daily photo group, but my blog eventually evolved away from that format. I don't think I ever did the monthly challenges. I guess you could come up with your own personal monthly challenges, right?
