Places People Visit

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge : Places People Visit

I am going to be very home town for places people visit. At this time of year, my town of Grafton is awash with purple. The Jacaranda trees are starting to come into flower and the town is gearing up for the annual Jacaranda Festival.

The Jacaranda Festival is the longest running floral festival in Australia. People come from all over the world to Grafton to visit and wander the town, look at the gardens and marvel at the purple everywhere.

The trees look a treat

There is even a few White Jacaranda trees around town

The streets look a treat. When the blossoms drop the ground is a carpet of purple.

Even the birds like to nest in the Jacaranda trees

There is poignant street art.

One Morning on the Power lines

Published on by bushboy7 Comments

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge (among others):  Power lines and Black and White

The day was just beginning. As usual, the birds were singing from the trees, flying about, some collecting insects on the wing others strolling about the garden finding things to have for breakfast.

Once their morning rituals had been observed, it was time to chill out and discuss what the day ahead had planned. This morning, the chosen meeting place for the Mud Larks, Magpie Larks or more commonly called Pee Wees, was to be on the power lines where all could observe the surroundings.

This morning, some gathered as agreed, a flurry of small black and white settled onto the power lines.
But wait, something doesn’t seem right.

“Hey…….you blokes………..who is the big bloke over there?” “I don’t know” as they looked from one to the other.

“I don’t know either, but I’ll get rid of him!”  “This swoop will see him off.”

“What do you think you are about buster……now rack off……these are my Power lines”

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge Week 1: Photo Geometry, bushes, window, brick, curtain, green, tan, wall, building, dark red, tree

What a selection Cee has chosen for us to pick from. I think it may be several posts if I get the inspiration. This post started off as Geometry but a few Windows appeared.

Some geometry from inside an art work in the Centre Pompidou Paris

Once I thought of geometry, along came some stained glass windows as well. A church in Lyon France
