Fresh

Ok, right about now, I wish I had posted my Fresh photos before FG did hers.

How can I compete with fresh cow dung? Lol

So here is my measly offering -

fresh rainfall....

fresh strawberries......

and fresh frangipani.

At least my smell sweeter :)

Metal

Ok, so I am only TWO weeks behind!!!

For the challenge two weeks ago - Metal, I give you ......

"An ode to Aluminium!!!"

Much to Chook and B's amusement, I know that Aluminium, is a metal! We won't go beyond that.

So "fresh" and "O" to go and I am up to date!!

Should have titled this "A Fresh Ode to Aluminium!"

Moon Walking

My family and I have started Moon Walking!! (see here and here). So far it is only DH who has taken any photos. Last night we remembered to take the good camera with us, but we didn't take the tripod. Some pics turned out really good.....

but then others were more........ shall we say...... artistic???? Lol.

Still it was a lot of fun and we plan to do it regularly.

My Favourite Colour

Photo Challenge
Week One
My Favourite Colour

Sounds simple enough, but it ended up harder than I thought.

I have a strong affection for green, but it is not my favourite colour.

I am also drawn to orange, but again it is not my favourite.

Then there is red. Until recently I never gave it a thought, but more and more is making its way into my home and I love it!

So where is this leading?

To BLACK and WHITE!! I love black and white, it is my favourite colour combination. I know there are purists that will argue neither are actually colours but I love them. My shoes, my hand bag, wallet, all accessories are always black. I always have black trousers, Capri's, shorts. This summer my new top is white with black, grey and a bit of bling.

On to photos. I haven't experimented with black and white photography before and I seriously need to practice. I know these are not good. Contrast seems to be the key.

For this weeks challenge I went to a favourite place, the beach, and tried to capture it monochromatically.

The last photo is a personal favourite. My younger daughter and a long time (older) friend of mine. On the jetty feeding the fish. Just a snippet from our week.

Thanks Leanne for the Challenge. I so wanted to take part.

Next week will be interesting - clouds.
Lots and lots of hazy blue sky here and nothing else!

Can't take any credit for this shot, DH was driving the camera on the day we took our DDs to Sea World. Have just made it the banner shot on my blog. One of my favs so thought I would share....
