The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge # 63: Magical
The Lens-Artists want to know what is magical for me. I love finding something new and getting the best photo I can to share with everyone. The comments are quite magical too. Here is a selection of the magical way my eye converts what I see into an image for you.
V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #64: Resilience “There is a catch to this week’s challenge: I don’t want you to use the word itself, but to illustrate what resilience means to you.”
The Noisy Friarbird illustrates the word that cannot be mentioned

The August Photo a day Challenge from Maria at CitySonnet for the 29th: Reflections
When life gets you down
head down to the waterhole
A place where life gathers
A place where the day dissolves
Find yourself a rock
even though the water
is diminishing with drought
Sit
wait
listen to the bush
Hear the sounds of life
immerse yourself in life
The bush is never quiet
the buzzing of insects
the crunch of leaves
as animals and lizards
move about
The smell of the dry bush
the sounds of plants dying
dropping leaves and branches
surviving
waiting
The Rains will come
one day.
So for now
sit and reflect
your heart will not
be heavy for long
Cry if you want
let the bush
wash over
Sit and listen on
the rock by the waterhole.
Here they come
finding a place to be
a small puddle
of life
reflecting.
The first Ragtag Daily Prompt from Emily: Return
Every year
the water’s filled
with splashes
with gasps
from the crowd
who line
the coast
hoping for a glimpse
of majestic
Humpback whales
as they return
to warmer waters
to calve
and mate
giving hope
of a new life
as they travel
giving pleasure
to people
who return
every year
to watch
and wait.
PS It’s my turn tomorrow for my first Ragtag Daily Prompt
Terri’s Sunday Stills this week is Mellow #Yellow
Just lots of yellow
The flowers – most are native flowers from my place
Flowers from elsewhere
Subtle yellow with a bonus grasshopper in my garden
Yellow-faced Honeyeaters are always around the garden
Tiny pom pom native flowers that are in abundance here
Small Grass Yellow Butterflies are special
What would yellow be if I didn’t include Bobbin, the Eastern Yellow Robin
Goodnight
Sing along
The word prompt from CitySonnet: Olive
There are a few birds that come around my place that have lovely olive coloured feathers. The featured bird is a Figbird.
This one is actually an Olive-backed Oriel
The little White-throated Honeyeaters
Blue-faced Honeyeater
A Silvereye
I commenced this photo challenge with a flower, then a leaf, so to continue with my theme for this Macro Monday. The bark of an Ironbark tree – with a spiders web thrown in.
