Cee’s Midweek Madness Challenge: December Alphabet Starts with R
Life in Colour December: Kaleidoscope

A few “R” flowers and some other colours. Like Cee, I love taking photos of flowers so it was hard for me to limit myself.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Four Colours or More

A Common Bronzewing I saw looking for snacks on my drive. The image quality is a bit poor as this is another photo through the kitchen window on almost full telephoto.

The actual wing photo would have made a great Last on the Card for December 2021 which will be out on the first of January.

Life in Colour December: Kaleidoscope

A while ago I went to a virtual afternoon tea with the lovely Su from New Zealand and others. I promised that I was going to bring Fairy Bread; a lot of people didn’t know what Fairy Bread was but it is a kaleidoscope of colour. Have you heard of Fairy Bread?

Fresh yummy bread, my home made is the best, spread butter and sprinkle Hundreds and Thousands for an extreme sugar hit. A big attraction at kids parties.

A riot of colour

Life in Colour December: Kaleidoscope

Jude has picked”The world is a kaleidoscope¹ of colour so this month let’s celebrate that with the brightest / most colourful images you can find.

¹(Something that is made up of a lot of different and frequently changing colours or elements)

So we are off for December. This month may be easy……..maybe.
I just had to get out the Hypnoplate for my first Kaleidoscope of Colour

Life in Colour November Colour: Black/Grey

This week Jude is asking “DO YOU HAVE ANY BLACK BIRDS?” I probably do.

Australian Raven – Black Swan – Spangled Drongo
White-winged Choughs – Sooty Oystercatcher – Common Darter
Being ignored by a Cormorant

AS this is probably my last November challenge post I have been thinking of the Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike, a bird who fulfills both non-colours for this months challenge.

Little Friarbird – Common Brushtail Possum – Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike
Koala – Grey-shrike Thrush Spotted Gum

Life in Colour November colour: Black

Thought I would start with something simple as Jude has said –

“This month we will be looking for Black or Grey. Black is not a colour at all. Theoretically it is the absence of all colour. Yet black is distinctive. Lines are bolder, shadows deeper, colours brighter against a black background.”
