How on earth has it been so long since I have participated in one of these Lens Artists Challenges??? Jeez, the summer just flew by.
For this week’s challenge Patti asked us to focus on images that represent symmetry: Vertical, Radial and Horizontal. Knowing me, I may have missed the boat on this challenge. These images are however, some of my favorites from the summer.
Spray paint cans in a box – all the same shape and organized symmetrically.

The image below was recently taken at an art festival in downtown Denver. I have seen umbrella displays in other places and was ecstatic to see this in our town! The umbrellas divide the image in half, representing an example of vertical symmetry.

The bridge below adds symmetry to the image. When I was a young girl, my friends and I would say, “How on earth does his wife let him out of the house with black socks? I will NEVER let my husband walk out the door in black socks.” Never say never, sigh.

The road below divides the trees right down the middle! The road also creates a leading line to take your eyes to the end of the road.

Grateful for the challenge today and the opportunity to participate!

I have knee-high black compression socks for running. I don’t even want to think about what I look like.

Excellent choices for the challenge this week! I’m especially drawn to the umbrellas having seen them in a couple of cities and finding them happy and colorful! Best wishes for finding symmetry in your life — a little balance seems to be a good thing. But also asymmetrical like is good every now and then!

How is it the little girls get such notions about socks? I’ve never thought about it. I just wear what’s comfortable.
I love the umbrellas. It’s a very colorful and happy looking scene.
