I just happened to be out and about today with my dog, enjoying the 70° spring day. I took a bunch of photos of a gaggle of honkers on this small pond about 15 miles from home. This shot happened to have just 3 in the frame, and I hadn't even checked to see what this week's theme was. Finally got a chance to get out with a new lens (Canon EF 100-400 L IS II) I bought a couple of months ago. Very pleased with it. Rick, perfect timing. I really like the use of negative space in your shot. It adds a sense of motion to it. Welcome back to the WP challenge! And . . . congratulations on your new lens! |

"One is the loneliest number" (thanks Three Dog Night), but it's a odd number so it meets the requirement. There were a bunch of Ring-Billed Gulls circling and feeding at the larger reservoir a few miles north of the previous location. A few good captures and a bit of cropping and I got something useful. Apparently a lot of bait fish were schooling there, as several cormorants were also feeding in the same area. Rick, it indeed fits this week's theme. Very effective composition -- no clutter. The gull is the star of the show. |

From the morning walk - three trunks ... Tony, great finding! Mother Nature was on your side. I like the portrait-orientation, following the vertical lines of the tree trunks. |

Sitting in a cabin on a B-Day getaway for my wife .... Pete, great job noticing those 5 wooden knots on the wall. I like your fill-the-frame composition, a very effective way to catch the viewers' attention. |

I was just about to put these back in the refrigerator and it dawned on me ... Thanks for the theme Sepiana and Frank! Bill, glad you remembered this challenge! 11 eggs -- perfect for this this week's theme. Great food shot! |

whippet , you nailed it -- three gnomes, five dogs. These shots definitely abide by the Rule of Odds.

The Rule of Odds is definitely in charge at this Overground station in north London - but I do admit that it may not be a literal interpretation of the theme. Brenda Brenda, great thinking of out the box! I like your creativity. The Rule of Odds is at play at this station. |

Did you know that the number of spokes on a car wheel is more often an odd number? I didn't but having looked at two cars they were both odd. Apparently with cast alloy wheels an odd number of spokes reduces stress as the casting cools - although another theory is that an odd number is more visually pleasing. Anyway here's my odd wheel - needing a clean after driving through mud puddles: Tony, great discover! It fits this week's theme to a T. I really like how you got up close and personal with this dirty wheel. BTW, I didn't know it either. Living and learning! |

Three trumpeter swans, Cygnus buccinator. Clive, and they seem to be doing a synchronizing swimming. Great capture! |

Group of three buses especially decorated for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Taken at today's Bus Fair at the Kent Showground at Detling. Matthew Matthew, and they are "posing" for you. Great shot -- colorful and sharp. Another job well done! |

Three windows in our Parish Church. Dennis Dennis, you nailed this shot -- symmetry in the composition, great capture of the architectural details and . . . abiding by the Rule of Odds. |
