The Daily Post Photo Challenge is run by WordPress. A new theme is posted every Wednesday for all to join in with.
THIS WEEK, IN A POST CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHOW US AN IMAGE THAT SAYS REFLECTION.
I have blogged about Yosemite before; it is a place where I felt the opportunity to reflect on life. It seems appropriate to use this image for this week’s photo challenge.
Ailsa of “Where’s My Backpack?” has been pondering her visits to gardens around the world this week. If you would like to join in with her challenge then please do. Everyone is welcome.
And I am combining this with the Weekly Photo Challenge from WordPress: Inside.
As some of you will know I do have another blog which is specifically for flowers – Earth Laughs in Flowers – and if you click this link you will be able to read about some of the gardens I have been enchanted by and see some lovely flowers and plants.
But for this challenge I am going to show you some of the odd sculptures and statues that have caught my eye whilst wandering inside the gardens, beginning with the infamous Eden Project in Cornwall.

Next is a visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales.
And finally a few sculptures that have appeared in my favourite garden, RHS Wisley in Surrey.
What unusual things have you found in a garden?
This week’s photo challenge is about perspective: post a photo which is not what it seems to be.
For those who are looking for an extra bit of challenge, show us two photos, each one showing a different angle or interpretation of the same subject:
Well I am always photographing the same subject at different angles, especially with flowers, where the shape or texture changes.
and often with architectural details where distortion is inevitable
or unusual

The weekly photo challenge from WordPress asks us to find something to illustrate Abandoned. Cheri says “You can go literal, as I have, and share a photo of ruins, a desolate place, or your idea of a wasteland. Or you can interpret it in other ways, from images of overlooked things to forgotten people.”
An arty effect – click to enlarge the image for clarity.

Earlier this week, the Daily Post talked about taking three-picture stories. Read the article for more ideas.
So the challenge this week is to share a story of your own using this format.
This is something I often do, though not necessarily in threes, but I do like to take an overview of a scene or subject, then home in on one or two elements relating to the subject and often include a close-up shot of some detail that catches my eye. Architecture, Landscapes, Travel and Gardens lend themselves to this sort of photography, but it can be used for any subject you like.

First a shot of the Haverhill-Bath historic covered bridge over the Ammonoosuc River in New Hampshire. Look carefully – in the background you can just see the steeple of the clap-board church.
The second image shows the church in context with the neighbouring store
and the final shot is a close-up of the sign above the bridge entrance. Do they tell a story? You tell me.
