The Sand Crab

Published on by bushboy18 Comments

A while ago, I posted about sand crab art

crab art02_named_emerald beach_march 2017

On the weekend I actually had a Sand Crab, just near where I sat under the shade of a Pandanus tree, removing sand from his burrow. As this was the beginnings of the creative process, I didn’t capture the finished artwork.

He was quite busy coming and going tossing little balls of sand. The individual photos didn’t really capture the event, so I found a website that I could create a  GIF file of the event for you. This is the first GIF I have made.

Interesting Light

Published on by bushboy6 Comments

The word prompt from Jenn at Traveling At Wits End for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Interesting Light

“Sometimes photographers look for a subject first – what we’re going to photograph – and forget to look for the light.”

Quite often the lighting is something that draws me to take a photo.

Walking into a room, the lighting and setting looked just perfect. There are a few things I would change but I am content with the result.

Sometimes the lighting lends itself to black and white

Again the lighting in the room attracted my attention. This one is a rare photo taken with my phone which I don’t use all that often. Yes a lazy shot as I couldn’t be bothered to go and get my camera

Another black and white. The light across the rocks on the beach gave deep shadows but the texture is still evident.

More from the beach. Using shadows as the focal point. The shadow walked across the rock face

An extreme close up of the sun at sunset through clouds. Light and dark to give emphasis.

New day

Published on by bushboy22 Comments

The word prompt from Debbie at Travel With Intent: New

Every day is a new day.
The past is left behind
Looking towards the sun
as it rises over the ocean
Thoughts turn to what
may lay ahead.
190106_blog_challenge_new_1sunrise
The journey starts.
Driving down the road
towards the sun
Hoping the spectacular
days start
will deliver promises untold
190106_blog_challenge_new_2sunrise

The day shows our Moon
A half Moon
A time of light
A time of surprise
The light of the Sun
Bring our Moon into our life.
190106_blog_challenge_new_3sunrise_moon1
When our Moon
shows her full splendor,
a spectacle in the day.
Lighting our way
through the troubles
Needing her grace.190106_blog_challenge_new_3sunrise_moon2
We head into the sunset
A new day delivered
Sitting by the water
as the fishers return
Thoughts turn to where we were
and to what may occur190106_blog_challenge_new_1sunset_fishing_boat

Watching,
waiting
as the day decends
with the setting sun
Seeing the glimmer of new life
in the darkness.
190106_blog_challenge_new_1sunset_stars
Waiting for our Moon
to bring the shadows
of the night
into the light
so we can once more
look towards a new day.190106_blog_challenge_new_3sunrise_moon3

Once more the sun rises
lighting a new day
the start of a new adventure
a new day beckons
Arise
here we are……….newsunrise_apollo bay_named_march 2010

The December theme is TIME. I am sure everyone has found at least one #timesquare, but just in case you are struggling here are some #timesquare ideas;

Timepieces – clocks, watches, sun dials and egg timers
Sayings – Time & tide wait for no man (or woman!), A stitch in time saves nine, Early bird catches the worm, In the nick of time or More haste, less speed
Synonyms – era, moment, season, infinity, interval, lifetime and age
Out of the box – nighttime, downtime, pastime and mealtimes!
