My ordinary life
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #169: Ordinary
My ordinary, commonplace or standard, of what I see most days. Included in this post is what is seasonal as well but as the seasons roll on it all becomes ordinary for me.
From my front door……
Something to listen to as you scroll through my ordinary world
Looking out of the kitchen window
Through the garden…….
Into the bush…..
or a place to relax in the garden to watch whats going on……..
Maybe watch a sunset
*Disclaimer: Not a sunset from my place. This is what sunset looks from my place

From the past
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #168: Seen Better Days
Becky’s Square Photo Challenge: Past Squares
Of course there has to be a song. This is an Australian song that was a big hit. I hope you enjoy it
First is the #PastSquare from the #RoofSquare
Onto a few things that have seen better days
An Australian made car from the 1950’s – a Holden FX
Would you ride this coach?
or go to town in this wagon?
This house is still much the same last time I drove past
Pompeii has definitely seen better days. Also from #SquareTime
This house too is still standing
The Colosseum is maintaining it’s better days appearance
The old truck that “lives” in my street
The remains of bird baths I’ve had over the years. Usually broken by possums trying to find a drink in droughts as I don’t think I have fat birds around here. This was from the #SquareUp
The feature photo is my old chook shed used in #RoofSquare

Did you see it
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #146 – Focusing on the Details
Like all photographers I like to find a subject and get set to take the photograph doing all the usual things which becomes innate after a while. Position of the subject, rule of thirds perhaps, lighting, background noise and all those things that make your photo the fabulous one you want.
One thing I like is after the photo has been taken and you plug the camera in to download and get a surprise to find something else in the image while you were busy focusing on the detail. Lets see what we can find among these photos.
Did you see the insect before or after seeing the Dandelion?
I wonder if you saw the flower buds or the spider or the insects who may not have known the spider was there too first
Was your focus drawn to the flowers detail, the Native Stingless Bees or the tiny jumping spider?
Getting in close to focus on the detail
The yellow Alamanda flower or the Ghost Crab Spider first?
In among the Torch Ginger flower lurks another tiny spider
I was after a photo of the small Billy Bonkers Grevillea flower as the light was so good, I didn’t see the ants
Another ant on a flower that was missed until down loading
Did you see the leaf, verandah boards, butterfly wing or the ant moving the wing?
An ants work is hard going
I didn’t see the Dwarf Eastern Tree Frog as the water lily flower looked so good in the late afternoon light
Who was inside the flower?
I hope you enjoyed trying to find what can be found while you focus on the detail.

Rather special
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #139: Special Moments
A few special moments to share.
A Wanderer Butterfly coming to rest on my besties hand for a while
Having help when I really needed it while working under my car
Having chickens hatch
Having a critically endangered Regent Honeyeater visit my garden
Taking a super bad photo of a very shy and almost rare (in my area) Regent Bowerbird. One quick photo and it was gone.
Having a Eastern Yellow Robin come and sit on the back of a chair while you are having a bite to eat in the garden. He came around often at my besties old place. We called him Bobbin
Finding a Nobbi Lizard at one of my favourite places, the Raspberry Lookout, after the fires of the Summer of 2019
Discovering a Hakea flurolenta on my place for the first time. I haven’t seen it since those fires but hope it may return in time.
Discovering the delights of Paris and Venice for the first time
