A Paper Daisy

Leanne’s Monochrome Madness
Bren’s Mid-Week Monochrome

This week I decided to do something a bit different. I love Paper daisies and when I converted one to Monochrome, I was unsure, so I did another.

Do you have a preference?

Come on my road

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #240: The Road (most often) Taken

John wrote “This week’s theme is metaphoric–and not about a physical road. For this week’s challenge, I want you to think of your favorite type or style of photography as the road you’ve chosen to take most often. For me, it’s landscape photography as it fits so well with my traveling soul. My examples are all landscapes, but I want to see in what style you like to photograph best.”

Where do I take this prompt without being over the top. I have been thinking about what to post and why, which I do find hard and this is why it has taken me a while to think about my photos and my road.

I am leaving this lot in a bunch so you don’t have to scroll forever 😂

Left to right, top to bottom.

Row 1 – My road to get home especially after going to the Raspberry Lookout & photographing Paper Daisies

Row 2 – Flowers one of my favourite things to photograph as well the birds around my place The little Yellow Robin is a lot of peoples favourite as well as the colourful parrots like this Eastern Rosella

Row 3 – More birds, Blue-faced Honeyeater and Rainbow Lorikeet who enjoy snacking on Bottlebrush flowers and Rainbow Bee Eaters looking splendid on the branches of a dead tree

Row 4 – Of course there has to be insects and a bit of macro. A Scarlet Jezebel Butterfly in a Honey Gem Grevillea, a Native bee my favourite name, Teddy Bear Bee and a Native Stingless Bee flying into a Day Lily

Row 5 – More Macro A close up of a Scarlet Jezebel Butterfly, Tree Fern frond about to uncurl and another favourite to try to get, water drops.

Some new things I have been doing over the past couple of years which is a lot of fun.

Of course my water abstracts I create for Jez’s Water Water Everywhere

There is always a face to find for Monday Portrait. Cattle seem to be a lot of peoples favourites

Dipping in and out of Monochrome

Creating for Silent Sunday where I have been using photos of churches or religious items

The potting shed

Earlier this week Jude posted a photo of her potting shed.
Here is my potting shed on the right hand side. The left side is the machinery shed

The top of the stairs

It’s funny how I have two stair views, one here and one for todays Wordless Wednesday, both so very different.
These are the stairs that led to our Venice apartment in the old palace. A modern conversion but lot’s a the old world still evident

Seeing the light

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Arches, Domes, Half Circles

Over the past few days I have been resting up in a beachside town on the North Coast, Ballina. Of course I did a bit of wandering around and as I was staying at Lighthouse Beach, it was only fitting I popped up to the lighthouse. It has to be the cutest lighthouse ever.
