Your favourite images from 2020
The Lens-artists Photo Challenge #129: Favourite Images of 2020
I have gone back through my stats to find what was your favourite post of the month and then get the image or pick one if there is a few photos in the post. It appears that people have taken to the Last on the Card Photo Challenge as it is the most popular post almost every month. Considering it was started as an impulse by me in January 2020 it is fitting that that image of the Sacred Kingfisher be the one for January.
JANUARY 2020
February the Last on the Card and the This is January were popular by you. These two posts, Last on the Card and the This is……. series, are the most popular for the est of the year so I am going with the next one down. This was a Six Word Saturday

Another photo that has fast become a favourite is the Satin Bowerbirds Bower with his collection of blue stuff. A bit of luck in finding the set up just right
MAY 2020
For June I decided to use a Last on the Card as the following posts had lots of photos and was too hard to pick one.
JUNE 2020

July 2020
One of your favourite bridges is the Grafton Bridge. This photo is from an older post re-blogged which turned up a lot of new readers. A post in black and white is always a bit different. I picked an image that I like from this post.

What used to happen
The Len-Artists Challenge #128: And Here Comes the Holiday Season
Photo a Week: Christmas
Due to my current situation, as my cousin put it, being a Neuro-prisoner and not being able to get out and shop apart from a quick trip to town on weekends with my daughter to do grocery shopping, my Christmas has been put on hold. Sure I’ll get together with my besties and my family but no presents this year and totally uninspired to even make presents as I would have done in the past.
Speaking of the past, here’s a journey into previous Christmases

Being inspired
The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #115: Inspiration
Have a listen to a bit of Aussie music while you have a read
Inspiration. What inspires me? Who inspires me? The list of bloggers who inspire is far to long to list and I am afraid I would leave someone out which would be unforgivable. Probably if you are reading this YOU are an inspiration either with your wonderful photos (whose ideas I might steal every now and then) or incredible your poetry and words.
With what I do in the shed, my inspiration has to be my Grandfathers and Father who gave me the innate skills to use tools
This is the first shed I built to do stuff in.
Music has always been part of my life inspired by my Mother who played piano and encouraged me to pick up a guitar. I have lots of music and mostly always have music playing.
A few of my CD’s
Me in the foreground playing with my mate Steve at a dance I think
I still have that guitar in the above photo
Probably my early life in Scouts gave me a love of the Australian bush and our environment. I became part of the solution and still do my part to try and make our world a better place. Landcare is a wonderful way to help others.
An Australian poet Nan Whitcomb who wrote The Thoughts of Nanushka, inspired my poetry. My Mum saw her on TV and told me about her while shelling the peas in the kitchen when I got home from work.
