Trying to think about Debbies quotation-inspired image photo challenge. What can you conjure up from the quotation below
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Stephen Hunt (British author)
Perhaps a clock image?
or a clock that may not work
Or something broken
or a broken shell
perhaps some street art
Still thinking? So am I
The inspirational quotation from Debbie at Travel With Intent
“My favourite thing is to go where I’ve never been.” Diane Arbus
Travel the world
in a sphere
slowly spin
dropping down
again ascend
terrifyingly tall
startlingly small
wondrous world
playful planet
seeing sights
hearing harmony
holding tight
travel the world
in a sphere
The inspired quote from Debbie at Travel With Intent
“There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.”
— Ansel Adams
Not only has the quote inspired, but Debbies post was about a sculpture so I went to my folders of the Sculptures By The Sea exhibition to find the photo I wanted inspired by the quote.
The inspired quote from Debbie at Travel With Intent
“Green is the prime colour of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.” – Pedro Calderon de la Barca
I am having difficulty in finding the right image from nature. So much of my world is green. Maybe I should just jump in and pick a few that show the loveliness of nature.
The green on green that hides a Grasshopper
The subtle green of a Small Green-banded Blue Butterfly
The green loveliness of the countryside
A Hawk Moth Caterpillar from which loveliness arises
Bringing it’s own special loveliness, a Green Catbird wonders
The special loveliness of Green Tree Frogs spreading smiles

“A ship is safe in the harbour, but that’s not what ships are built for.” Gael Attal

V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #38: What’s in a Name
V.J. asks “As I type up each week’s summary, creating links to various blogs, I am struck by how different blog names are, and compelled to ask: what’s in a name? Specifically, your blog name.”
My blog name comes from years ago when I was referred to as bushboy as I live in the Australian bush. The term bush is used for anywhere outside of cities. More specifically I live among the trees with birds and animals. The word bush means means different things to different people. Going bush is getting away from everything to a place of peace and being at one with nature. It is not a geographical term it is an evocative feeling.
I asked Twitter what does the bush mean to them. I had a couple of replies
“It’s the ‘real’ but often overlooked Australia; an incredible network of life that sustains our existence and makes our continent unique.”
“The Australian bush is a varied description that can apply to forested areas or equally to arid areas with little more than just some bushes or somewhere in between but regardless it’s a natural area with little influence from humans”
“Untouched by greedy developers and self interested entrepreneurs”
“Ancient unique wild lands that underpin everything I love about being Australian as opposed to just being another citizen of the planet”
“Home”
The world part is just that. In bushboys world it is all about my little part of the world and occasionally other parts of our world where I have travelled, but mainly it is all about my place in Australia, my town, the beaches and the rural land where I live.
Trees surround my house and are in my garden. I live in the forest but forestboy doesn’t have the same feeling that is within me. So I am bushboy and this is my world.
The inspirational quote from Debbie at Travel with Intent
The only way of catching a train I ever discovered is to miss the train before.
– G.K. Chesterton
Make sure you get to the station early
Everyone will be rushing for their train
Always book a seat
Some trains go very fast
Yes, they go very fast
When you get to your destination, you can always catch one of these
The inspirational quote from Debbie at Travel with Intent for this photo challenge
“The sea is the vast reservoir of Nature. The globe began with sea, so to speak; and who knows if it will not end with it?”
– Jules Verne
The quote made me think of what I could link from my photos with the above quote. I had an idea but didn’t know how to execute the idea into a photo. I am so glad that Corel PaintShop Pro has great tutorials. I played around for quite a while, changing my mind and photos until I finally said that is enough. It isn’t exactly as I wanted but I didn’t have the photos that my mind wanted.
This mechanical world
wheels turn
cogs interact
pulling
pushing
nature
to the brink.
Polluting her waters
her rivers
her oceans
destroying the sea
vast reservoir of Nature
