I must really like the number three because I have lots of photos with three items! So, here is a “small” selection of “Threes” for Cee’s Fun Photo Challenge.
Château Pommard~~
Located in Pommard, just outside Beaune, the Château de Pommard is the largest private vineyard in Bourgogne. Besides their grounds, museum and wine tasting, we saw two temporary art exhibits going on at the château (one of photography and one of sculptures) and a couple of permanent (I think) Salvador Dali sculptures displayed in their courtyard. The château’s grounds and museum are very pretty and the wine was very good. We regretted not having come earlier, with time for a full tour and meal. Here a slide show of photos of the road trip from Beaune to Pommard and of the château visit.

I’ve been reluctant to participate in Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge because I’m not one-hundred percent sure I understand it! 🙂 But I’ve decided to give it a try this week with this thing I saw at an art fair I went to recently. I had to photograph it, I don’t know why…
Baby, It’s Hot Outside!

Abstract
For Day II of the Quotes challenge, for which I was nominated by catalan blogger and photographer Cosmo, from bCL Photography, I’ve chosen an old favorite of mine, a Sanskrit proverb that reminds us of the importance of living every day well.
“Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.” ~~ Sanskrit Proverb
Photo taken at Chateau du Clos de Vougeout, Burgundy, France. June 2015.
And today I am breaking the rules — I do that a lot! 🙂 — and not nominating anyone. This way, whoever wants can take on the challenge. Join us!!
Heartbreaking Discovery~~
Photographers must have a good eye, see things others might miss. Sometimes, when looking for that new take, a different angle, the photographer makes “discoveries,” catching something unexpected. Such “discoveries” may bring joy and pride. “Wow! look what I caught in this shot!” But they may be disturbing, heartbreaking.
When shooting a series of Rodin sculptures at LACMA, I was drawn to the hands of a particular piece. As I started to shoot them from different angles, I noticed something in one of the hands. It looked like a small pile of leaves, or dirt. But as I zoomed in… A heartbreaking image. A tiny little bird, resting in peace, at the palm of the sculpture’s hand. How did it get there? Was it put there by some silly prankster? Or did it choose to rest there, cradled in the hand sculpted by genius? What a disturbing, heartbreaking discovery…
