Patti, you’ve set us quite a challenge here, which I’m hoping to meet with one photo and a poem (the latter’s formatting depending on my ability to deal with WP’s new editor.)
This Colmar building is old,
the shutters certainly blue,
the cars (well, you guess),
all borrowed for you!

Very cool, Janet! All in one shot, well done. 🙂
Thanks, Amy. It was quite a challenge.
Good job!
Thanks, Janet. I was determined to try to do it in one photo if at all possible 🙂
Well done, Janet. I like your solution to the challenge.

Thanks, Allan. I started going through my archives searching first for something blue, although I knew most of my nature shots (the vast majority of what I take) wouldn’t do. Had to go to France for that. 🙂
Good choice. Persistence pays off in this case.

I like the arched shutters. That’s a great photo.
I’d love to have shutters on my house, working ones, that is. They really help in that hot weather and can help in winter as well.
Me too.
Well done, Janet. I better look for a photo too
Thanks, Aletta. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find just one shot that combined all four aspects, not even my daughter’s wedding photo. 🙂
You were lucky then!
Well done!
Thanks very, Deborah. 🥰
Poetry in motion with visuals! Nice work, Janet!
Ha! Thanks, Gordon.
Ha ha. Nice!
Thanks, John. I appreciate the visit and the comment.

You always do rise to the challenge… So fitting that you found the perfect set of doors for this one, too. 🙂
Thanks, Hannah. This was a tough one, though! So many elements to combine. Yes, interesting that doors played a part. 😊
Cute poem and so apt of the photo!
Thanks very much, JT. Had to work that “borrowed” part in somehow.
Great “solution” to this week’s puzzle, Janet! I love your shot combining all the different elements. What a beautiful blue gate/doorway.
It was certainly an attractive building, Patti. I love that blue in the gate and then echoed on the shutters.
Nicely done!
😁. Glad you liked it. It was an interesting challenge.
Oh, brilliant response, Janet!
Thanks, Sue, glad you think so. I wasn’t sure I could find anything that combined all four. 🙂
Well,you did!!
You nailed it Janet! Loved both the photo and the poem, very clever!!
Thanks, Tina, and thanks for stopping by this Sunday morning.
Nicely done, one image says it all.
Thanks very much, Sally. Glad you like it.
Well
Done on getting all four words in one image
😉
And that striking blue gate is a nice capture
That gate is what caught my attention initially, that and the shutters.
🙂
Such a pretty scene. I can imagine myself sitting in the shade of that upper balcony with a cup of coffee and fresh baguette enjoying the quiet of a beautiful summer morning.
I’m with you on that!! My tipple would be tea, but I could go with a cappuccino. 🙂
A cappuccino would be just fine 🙂
Great photo choice for the prompt – very clever, well done!
Thanks very much, Shelley. I’m glad to read that. I was hoping it would tick all the boxes in the right way.

You’re welcome, Yes, it did!! 🙂
Nice! Love the perspective.
Thanks very much, Wendy. Appreciate the visit and comment and I’m glad you like the photo. 😊

Well done, you clever girl! This one I really tried for one shot, but could not make it.
It was a difficult challenge for one shot and I had to fudge a bit on the “borrowed” part, but I’m glad you liked it. 😉
