I'm trying to better emphasize storytelling in my photos, so for #52frames_time, I photographed my Mom looking through an old photo album. Edited to emphasize warm, late afternoon (literally and metaphorically) light and time passing, yet held — in hands, in photographs, in light.

I had that thought too 😊 I like your wider crop - it provides more story I think.

Mist rising on a lake, with mountains in the background, upturned canoes in the foreground, and a small fishing boat moored to a dock in the mid-ground

Mountains, trees, clouds, and a blue sky reflected in calm water

Some lucky wildlife encounters in Elk Island National Park. We saw two bison not far from the trail; the second we mistook for a rock! Later, a bull elk announced his presence with a bugle call before emerging in a clearing right next to our path!

This week's challenge was #52frames_onelightsource, and I'm away on holidays, so it was tougher to control light. Fortunately, the place we're staying has a fire pit - firelight at night for single source and my partner as my subject 😊
