A change is as good as a holiday – well so they say! But as my life is now one big holiday I have to look elsewhere for my inspiration to change things up. Changing it up: I did just that earlier in the week, when I participated in a blogging group activity looking for feedback on our blogs. It…
I am probably cheating a bit here by not sharing one of my own photos for this week’s photo challenge, instead I am sharing an old photo of my beautiful parents in the bloom of their life. Why? I am reminded of the quote “Life is like an onion: you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes…
Source: Week 10: Photographer’s Choice I found this week quite hard, as it was up to each of us to choose a photo! It was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Isn’t it funny how we can get thrown by simple things – like having too much choice?? So if you’re following along at home here…
Source: Week 9: The letter D Here is the photo I didn’t use for this week’s 52 week photo project. I’ve called it Debbie and the Daffodils as I figured I could get two D’s for the price of one! I love the fact that Spring has sprung down here, with the daffodils bobbing their pretty yellow heads, the magnolia…
Source: Week 8: Old fashioned/Vintage For those of you following along at home here is Week 8 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme Old fashioned/Vintage. Despite taking photos of old things along the way on our outback trip , they just didn’t feel right. So I was running out of time and struggling to find something to photograph…
The wait was well worth it….. This week’s Photo Challenge asks us to share a snapshot that shows a sense of waiting. On our recent trip to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, we walked everyday, we camped out and we enjoyed the spectacular scenery. Life was easy, simple and slower paced than our usual lifestyle – it was bliss to…
Source: Week 7: Lollies/sweets/candy For those of you following along at home here is Week 7 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme Lollies/sweets/candy. My photo was extra hard as we were in the Australian outback at the time and lollies/sweets were a bit thin on the ground. So I went with this photo of a natural sweet, bushtucker style,…
Source: Week 6: The natural world For those of you following along at home here is Week 6 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme The natural world. My photo was a hard choice as we were in the Australian outback at the time and nature was all around us. In the end I chose this photo of rock…
A structure with a beauty of its very own…. These structures were to be seen everywhere on our recent trip to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. This windmill was abandoned but once upon a time it was a vibrant, useful and necessary structure in the outback, providing a valuable water source to a dry, arid land. I love that although…
Source: Week 5: Up Close For those of you playing along at home here is Week 5 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme Up Close. My photo was taken in a wine cellar in the renowned Barossa Valley in South Australia. I must admit it felt good to be this close to so many bottles of wine –…
Source: Week 4: Long distance For those of you playing along at home here is Week 4 of our 52 week photography project, with the theme of Long distance. My photo was one of my favourite views, of the aptly named Snowy Mountains, but this time in black and white: The others photos were fantastic with a portrait, a long…
The texture and beauty in a succulent… We consume photos through our eyes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a tactile element, too. I love the curly-wurly texture of this succulent, submitted for this week’s photo challenge. Although I’m not sure curly-wurly is a real description of anything, I just like the way it rolls off the tongue and it does…
Source: Week 3: Transport For those of you playing along at home here is Week 3 of our 52 week photography project. My photo for Transport was a classic Steam Train arriving in a dramatic puff of steam at Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station on a cold morning. Did I say it was an early start too? No? well it was very,…
Run Melbourne 2017 Last week I wrote a post about my upcoming Run Melbourne 2017 event – I CAN do this – and I am pleased to say not only did I do it, I did really well! This is a quote from my post last week: I’m not fast, I’m not stylish, I tend to run a bit heavy, I’m sometimes…
Source: Week 2: Winter For those of you playing along at home here is Week 2 of our 52 week photography project. Who’s who in the story… I have joined with 6 photographers, of varying experience, to take a photo every week for a year, one theme at a time. It’s turned into a bit of a family affair actually…
