The new trail markers at Nose Hill have beautiful cut-outs of Prairie crocus blooms… while I was out walking there last week, I had a notion that they’d make interesting photo frames.  Which focus do you like best?

    I thought I liked the first most, but the second shows the flower shape better. It’s a lovely idea. 🙂

      The trail markers are so pretty with the cutouts, I thought it might be nice to show them to everyone.

    It’s a tie. The first one give you a glimpse of what is beyond and the second one gives you a better idea of the marker itself. 🙂

      It’s all about the focus! 🙂

    First one, of course; you can see the landscape through the frame 🙂

      I think that’s my favourite as well….

    how unusual and clever!

      I had a good time taking these…anyone walking by would have really wondered what I was doing, though!

    I like both. I guess it depends on what you’re “looking” for–or through.

    I like the second, it made my eyes go funny until I could get it into focus….brilliant subject even better pictures…

      So happy you enjoyed them – I had fun taking them!

    I like both – as Alli says it depends what you’re looking at/through. These markers are so attractive!

      The design of those markers is so thoughtful and appropriate for the park, which is known for its Prairie crocuses in the spring.

    How novel! I like the first view best – I love the frosted skeletons.

      I love that description – “frosted skeletons.” Very apt!

    I’ve done this sometimes – taken tow photos through a fence or cut out, focusing on the near then the far. Because you’re just not sure which is going to work better, right? I like the first one, in this case. And thanks for the follow – I appreciate it!

      It is definitely fun to experiment – especially when the frame itself is attractive.

I’m delighted to hear from you – thanks so much for your comments!
