Incy wincy spider This was the sight I saw as I went to open the fridge this morning. A big huntsman spider had made himself quite comfortable on the fridge door and wasn't fazed at all when I went to open it. I jumped and squealed but he didn't seem to mind that either. He blended …

Patterns and shadows This was the sight I saw as I looked down this morning. The pattern of my dress was over-layed with the shadow from the glass doors where the morning sun was streaming in. I liked the combination so much that I took a quick photo then headed out the door to work. Sometimes …

city buildings are mundane at the best of times but at night they light up the city with their squares of light Night view from our apartment in Sydney. The pattern of the squares in the rectangular buildings creates an interesting landscape. ************* The Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted by Jithin at Trablogger on a Monday and …

Yellow - positive in an ever changing land I like the mind of someone who chooses to use yellow as the colour for something as big and dirty and menacing as a road roller. I know it's all to do with safetyYet despite the dirt and mud and dust, the yellow shines throughlike a positive signand …

Can you see a face here? While out for a little walk I saw this rock on the side of the road. I immediately saw a face in the rock, can you see it? It's just a rock, pretty bland and mundane, but interesting in its own way too, and that's what it's all about …

A different view of a hot air balloon - from the inside Hot air balloons intrigue me, I love their apparent effortless ability to float away. This photo of the inside of the balloon appealed to me as it's not your normal photo of a hot air balloon. It could easily be classed as mundane …

Thanks to the B-52's for this great line from 'Love Shack' - just perfect to use with my photo of a rusty tin roof! On a recent bushwalk along the Hume & Hovell walking track, we came upon this old hut which was used by workers in years gone by. It was a classic piece …

Plane trail As I stepped out for my morning run, the song playing in my ears was Big Jet Plane by Angus and Julia Stone and there right above me in the bright blue sky was a beautiful white plane trail. I took a moment to wish that I was on a big jet plane flying …

Straight lines and blue sky This was the view that greeted me this morning as I returned from my run in the forest. I see these poles in the paddock every day but today they looked like they were all lined up, marching off into the endless blue sky. Mundane but yet beautiful in their own way! …

Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted by PhoTrablogger on a Monday. There are always interesting links to other Mundane Monday posts to have a look at in his weekly post. It's...a challenge …

A muddy mundane Monday! Just another mundane muddy footprint you might think but to me it represents two important things: It's rained enough to make it muddy and I'm out running! Yep - I'm back out there running, putting one foot after another (although only one footprint is featured, rest assured I have another foot!) …

Come look at the view through the fence.....what do you see? The paddock of dry yellowing grass is my everyday view and so could be seen as mundane, but I still get pleasure looking through the fence. So in some ways yes it is mundane but in other ways it is anything but mundane! Mundane Monday Challenge is hosted …

I was in Melbourne on the weekend and while out shopping in the city we walked through some of the grand old arcades. They are beautiful old buildings - well old by Australian standards anyway. This particular one had Christmas trees, decorations and sparkly curtains hanging from the roof which took your eye upwards. But on …

I passed this sad, old house while out riding my bike the other day, cycled by, then turned around and went back to take a photo. It really appealed to me some reason. It obviously isn't loved anymore but it's still standing (just). The front paddock has just been cut for hay and so it was much …

I was going to delete this photo as it seemed a bit 'boring' but then I thought of the peacefulness it exudes and how it may just be a good candidate for the Mundane Monday Challenge as hosted here by PhoTrablogger. There are links to other Mundane Monday posts as well. This shot was taken in a …
