Last on the Card

Last Photo for September 2022

Yes I am back online at last. Thank you to Christine for wanting to share her photo and in her excitement wished to be a temporary host. Thanks also for your good wishes amid my struggles.

So let see what you have for this edition of Last on the Card contributions, your good and not so good photos. 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. This month is even more of a surprise!!

AS I have always said it doesn’t matter when you post your Last Photos as the last photo for the month is always the last photo.

So let’s see what you have for September 2022

The rules are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 30th September.
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”

Here’s mine

Looking at the skies

So far I haven’t had a lot of skies for Becky’s Square Photo Challenge: Past Squares so I thought I would do a post of your favourites. I haven’t left a tune to scroll along to so here’s a bit of boogie

The only trouble is that the most liked and the most commented are the same photo. So here it is – Your Favourite

But I thought I’d sneak in a few more just in case. Have made you a slideshow from sunrise to sunset

It’s shiny

This is December

Published on January 5, 2018 by bushboy21 Comments

This is just the one big photo blog. I hope you have time to scroll through. It started rather small at the start of December and just seemed to grow as stuff happened. I have included some of the skies that may have been in Beckys Square Sky photo challenge or missed out. I really enjoyed Beckys #SquareSky challenge. Perhaps you may need a pot of tea to get to the end!

Lets go. I love skinks and how they just move about on brick walls.

Come Summer and the Dragonflies are flitting about the garden.

I couldn’t find this Dragonfly at first when it disappeared into the garden.

Summer in Australia with the deafening cacophony of cicadas. When the tree you were in many years ago has gone, make do with anything to get out of your shell.

Brown Ringlets have wonderful “eyes” on their wings.

I was visited by an Assassin Bug who did a bit of fluff cleaning for me.

Mud Daubers make wonderful clay pots to raise their young. They lay an egg in the clay pot, they go about gathering spiders which they comatose for the grub to eat when it hatches.

I have been watching this one build a cone shape on the architrave of the office door.

Some mornings the chicken wire fence has lots of spider webs in the mesh.

What a fabulous green the grasshopper has which contrasts with the yellow of the Deities flower.

I love the Line Blue Butterflys antennae

The Bromiliad flower with a bonus spider shell.

The Stingless Native Bees loved the Day Lily flower.

After the rain, the Crocus flowered much to the delight of the Stingless Native Bees

They certainly have a laconic way of flying don’y they?

The red Dahlia is one of my favourite flowers.

The Tree Begonias supplied a splash of red in the garden too.

It was a great year for the Agapanthus flowers.

A tiny native flower with a fluffy centre.

Another lovely flower I was given from my friend Geoff.

A very pretty Rose in a friends garden.

I think this flower is an Egg and Bacon plant flower.

The Hibiscus flowers welcomed the rain in December.

A field of Daisys on the side of the road.

The Curry Bush had a great flowering last year as well

The storm season arrived a bit late last year but when it came, it was spectacular.

This sky was incredible

And again

I love capturing the suns rays.

The palm leaf had shiny spots of water which glistened in the sunlight.

People must have thought I was mad walking around trying to get the sun in the right spot.

This sunset was amazing. The colours changed every minute.
