Debbie’s Six Word Saturday
Some of you may have noticed I am into an abstract phase at the moment. I hope you are enjoying the conversion of my images into something a bit different. I really would like to know what you think thank you. For once I haven’t “copied” Debbie’s title using my images but maybe next Saturday………

Cellpic Sunday 23 January

A while ago I was given some attachments to use on my phone camera. I played around in my garden with a few flowers. This is an unedited photo and I think I almost have the idea.

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Bottle

Inspired by picturesimperfectblog’s various changing bottles I had to add a bit of Australia to the bottle prompt with a Bottlebrush flower from unchanged through various effects to #monochrome

Day twenty-eight of Becky’s Square Photo Challenge for October: Kindasquare

I am inside on an off and on rainy day so I decided to play with some dice and my photo editing program Corel PaintShop Pro 2021. Again this was inspired by this song that came up on rotation. I have music playing a lot of the time I am inside and with nearly 4.5Gb of music on the hard drive there’s lots on rotation to pick from.

Do you prefer any of the following images?

This is the promotional image that was for the Tumbling Dice single. I had the original I cut out of a music magazine called Go Set in Australia. My best friend was a great artist and he did this copy for me. I found it a few years ago and now it is in my lounge room.

This is July 2020

Well July has been a quite interesting month. I will say now that I am quite well and feeling great. The only sort of downside is I am not allowed to drive which is quite difficult when you live in the bush a fair way from town. The upside is my bestie doesn’t want me to be by myself so we have been together since the start of the month so living in isolation between her place and mine has been easy.

You may wonder what the hell is he talking about! It all started on July the fourth early in the morning. I was asleep so have no recollection of my seizure and consequent trip to hospital in the ambulance where I spent four days. I don’t remember that first day in the Emergency Unit only to say that I had a nurse with me for part of the time as my heart rate dropped to 37. Over the next three days I had all sorts of tests to examine my brain functions and contrary to what some people may think, my brain is quite a good brain with no signs of impairment at all. This is why my posts have been rather sporadic as I have been trying to come to terms with using my phone and small tablet to post. Downloading photos and trying to get them as I want is the hard part. I found a good free photo editing software at last for the tablet. I am sorry I missed a lot of Becky’s Perspective Squares and not many songs get added either.

OK on to what I saw in July

The mornings at my besties have been lovely misty mornings. I did manage to post a few others for Becky’s Squares

The bees were quite busy in July as a Beekeeper put his hives on the dairy farm across the road

Noisy Friarbirds like to call early in the morning. They seem to be the most predominant bird at my place at the moment

The Grevilleas look great in the morning sun. Honey Gem is one of my favourites as it attracts birds and insects

This flower actually looks like a Sun

Despite looking a bit scraggly, this Grevillea get visits from small Honeyeaters

I am not sure what this small native flower is but it has appeared since the fire.

A Blue-faced Honeyeater and a Honey Gem Grevillea are always a winner

A female Figbird was quite curious of what I was doing

The male Figbird has his red eye patch and feather colours at full mating mode in the morning sun

Going for a walk down my road, I saw a different bird in a tree. It was a Collared Sparrowhawk, the first time I have seen one here.

The Superb Fairy Wrens enjoyed the birdbath. See the difference between the female and male

He looks quite lovely with the colours of the Salvia

“Do these feathers make me look fat?” the Double Barred Finch seemed to say

An afternoon at the beach was a good restful way to spend the day. The Pied Oystercatchers think so as well.

A rare opportunity of seeing a Darter swimming underwater in search of a meal.

The pink and grey of a Galah look lovely in the afternoon sun

On an afternoon walk we often see a Pied Cormorant or two on this branch over the creek. This day there were more than ever and was a had to take reflection photo as well.

Above the Pied Cormorants, a pair of Rainbow Bee Eaters were enjoying their afternoon meal.

I did have time to muck about with some photos. These water abstracts are the raw images. I should send them out for Jez’s Water Water Everywhere as well
