As do triad, ternion and trilogy,
Triptych, trine and trichotomy,
Triangle, treble and trinity.

This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge is Trio. I had no problem finding photos to fit, as I often compose a shot to include three elements.
The idea of the number ‘3’ is also an important part of a photograph’s composition. The Rule of Thirds is perhaps not instinctive, nor obvious, yet it can make a dramatic difference in a photograph. Of course, rules are often broken. I was thinking Rule of Thirds when I cropped the following photos, but wasn’t that successful!
Cactus blooms – Arizona
Egret, Great Blue Heron and Black Crowned Night Heron – Sun Lakes Arizona
Golden Barrel Cactus – Arizona
Tall Grasses – my yard, Alberta, Canada
Three word street sign – Carefree Arizona
Building with Three arches – Jerome, Arizona
Three spruce cones – my yard, Alberta, Canada

We love going to Carefree, which is a little over a half hour drive from our house, and we always enjoy seeing Ho Hum Road, where Ho and Hum roads converge.
My daughter thinks it would be amusing to own a shop on Ho Road.
I sometimes wonder about that girl.

Carefree really is a delightful place, isn’t it. We particularly enjoy it when there is an arts/crafts show there.

Yes, that is one of my favourites. Sort of like people who just have to touch paint even when the sign says it is wet.
