Tina reminds us this week of the rule of thirds, and points out another ”rule” to try, the rule of 3. Please visit her beautiful site for more inspiration! I decided to give my morning dogwalk the first try. And three beautiful birch trees were my choice – but, they were impossible to catch in only one photo! Here they are, three in two – top to bottom.
The magic number is three
At noon, we went for a visit to one of our nearby castles, Bosjökloster, where we found several exhibitions giving possibilities within the rule: here some beautiful straw vases and straw bags.
Straw craft reminds us that true beauty is grown from the earth and shaped by patient hands.

Close to the playground, there were some colourful hens walking. I waited a while to see if they would come together for a photo, but this was the closest they got to each other. I could not resist a photo anyway.
We’re not just friends, we’re family

For humanity to co-exist:
Truth, peace and basic needs.
Everything else –
Is irrelevant.”

Another exhibition at the castle featuring Ukrainian artists’ quilting (Ukrainian Quilters Association) – was totally fascinating. Their skills, the motifs honouring damaged cities and villages – and some places that don’t even exist anymore.
They are a strong people, Ukrainians, and they will never be defeated. Even the war pieces breathed of hope and a peaceful future. They are also assembling quilt patches from more than 36 countries over the world, making a1.1 km long quilt to be rolled out on Kyivs main street, Khreshchatyk, when the war is over.
Thank you, Tina, for another interesting challenge! I hope you’ll join in exploring the concept of 3 in photography. If you cannot find examples in your own work, maybe head out like I did, to see how many 3’s you can find once you start looking! Please remember to use the Lens-Artists Tag in your response and to link to Tina’s original post to help us find you. Many thanks to Egidio and to his respondents for last week’s beautiful explorations of being “stuck in place”. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you did too. Finally, we hope you’ll join us next week when Patti leads us once again on her P.A. Moed site. Until then, please stay safe and be kind.

You know I love nature, Ann-Christine but this week your crafts win my heart. I love the quilts and the straw bags.
Thank you – I am with you there!
The quilts are beautiful!!
Thank you!
Very clever to have captured those groups of three baskets and three pots in a single shot – but I also like how you’ve used two photos to give a sense of the scale of those birch trees 🙂 And the Ukrainian quilts are beautiful! I hope they get to spread out that giant one in Kiev some time soon.
Thank you, Sarah! I really liked this challenge and managed somehow – glad you enjoyed. Loved those quilts and hope, just like you, that they will spread it soon!
I think warthogs are suppose to be called road runner lol because they run so fast 😄
They do – and I love the way they use their tails as antennas whn they run!
lol very funny, they are lovely pets. I know someone who have one as a pet, well trained
Ann-Christine, I love those baskets, but my favorite is the warthog trio.
Me too – thanks. I love the way they wear their tails as antennas when they run!
A fabulous three selection Ann-Christine. I like the trees, the chickens and the Warthogs on the run 😀
PS Looks like I am able to comment again 😁
😀 Thanks! D-:
Such different examples, and each one lovely. I too have experience the impossibility of getting the whole tree into one photo! The baskets are winsome and whimsical, the hens gorgeous in all their ruffles, and the quilts – along with the quote – heartwarming.
♥ Thank you, Lindy – I had fun putting this together…abnd it was a charming challenge! Tonight I finally have some free time to look at all the answers!
Well, you have made this challenge a joyful fun . . . love everything you found but the colourful and busy hens perchance most of all . . .
Aren’t they cute? I was wondering about the feathers on their feet though – they were hampered by them…
Beautiful as always Ann-Christine. Took me a bit to realize the trees were the same three pictured at top and bottom-very clever! Loved the baskets and the hens are perfect! The quilting is really lovely. I hope they get to use the giant creation very soon. Their spirit is incredible.
Thank you, Tina – I hope so too.
Nice photos, especially the trees, and three windows over stairs.
Thanks, Brad – a great challenge!
Ann-Christine, this is an incredible collection of images.
Thank you, Beth! I had fun putting them together!
Nice pictures! Slava Ukraini!
