Last Photo for June 2022

First of I would like to thank everyone for their support. I was feeling a bit down last month and when I mentioned that this photo challenge may have run its course there was a resounding no way – keep going we love it. This bought a smile to my face knowing that the sometimes crap photos as well as the wonderful appear. I love that new people discover this challenge from your sites.

This month I have to add another camera to my list. I bought a second hand camera and am still getting the hang of it as well as the new tele-zoom lens I bought.

Like a lot of people I forget and am surprised at what was the last photo on the FOUR devices I use to take photos. I went from –

the weird and why
to the a bit of focus would help
attempt at cutting the building out creating minimalism?
a possible Monday Portrait

So let’s see what you have for June 2021

The rules are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 30th June.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

Terri’s Sunday Stills: It’s a #Wild(life) World

I have been flicking through the other wild creatures from around the world and I find that mine aren’t as fearsome…well maybe some are for you….but they are wild.

Yes my folk who know what to expect get that scrolling finger at the ready.

But first a bit of false security, a few butterflies

Orchard Swallowtail, Blue Triangle, Scarlet Jezebel, Black Jezebel

Echidna digging in when he heard me coming

Brown Antechinus released from a trap in the house and relocated to the bush where it should be living, not my pantry.

A surprised Brush-tailed Possum who was sleeping in the shed

A White-faced Heron that landed in a tree next to the house

A small Bandy-bandy on a log. I just love the name that’s why it’s been included

Always look out for Red-bellied Black Snakes in the wood pile

A Copper-headed Skink looks suspiciously at me

A Goanna patrolling the garden

Carpet Snakes like to sleep on the verandah rafters where it’s warm

If you stop in the bush, always look down just in case you are standing near some Bullants

Thanks for getting through the wildlife of Durranbah. Here is your reward, a Red-necked Wallaby and her Joey

*Durranbah is the name of my property

Cee’s Black & White Challenge: In or On Water

A trawler set off for the night

Getting over the river bar can be dangerous

Always on the water hunting

Sunset on the water

I went looking for something in the water and found an Eastern Yellow Robin

But I really wanted some fish. I found an old photo and thought make it black and white but then things took a life of their own. Here is a couple of Goldfish
