A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Frame

…..every week Sue Llewellyn goes into her Oxford dictionary and randomly pulls a word that becomes the challenge for that week

The word this week is frame. I suppose you could take it literally and find pictures of frames or things held within a frame or one could go with the verb ‘to frame’.

I’ve always loved vibrant colours and when I see them on my walks I eagerly  pull out my little camera and shoot away. I was delighted when I found out that Sue’s word of the week is ‘vibrant’.
