Frangipani Art

At first I thought someone had been drawing on my old plastic table under the frangipani tree but it turns out the flowers leave their imprint somehow.  How lovely.

Sydney Australia Rocks

 

The Lovely Husband and I spent about five days in Sydney this year and had a blast.  We both used to live there before moving to the country and every now and then we need a city fix.  Sydney has it all.

This chook must have a bum like a rose bud!

Men Don't Put the Seat Down!

I was fooling around with night photography and I came up with this slightly quirky political statement.  The male symbol is supposed to face to the right but this one is pointing down to the obvious cause of its appearance.  Interpret it as you wish but I am quite happy with my experiment with a slow shutter speed and a book light on a long arm.  What fun, what a result, what is that smell?

Pothole Art

Some artistically bent, community minded citizen is going around painting our many potholes with bright coloured paints.  It is actually quite useful because as a driver you cannot always see the ruddy great holes until WHAM!

Beachside Humpy

Check out this beautifully made humpy.  It is on the coast and on public land.  Most amazingly is a sign at the base of the structure asking for respect and shock of shocks, no one has vandalised the humpy in any way.  I love it.  On the day I photographed it an elderly couple were sitting in its shelter on camp chairs enjoying the view.  Beautiful.

Photographic Beauty

Soul Sister took this photo one day on the coastline and I simply love it.

Beetle & Butterfly

Yes this is corny.  It is meant to be.  At our last photography club a few of us were shocked to hear that in a lot of calender and card photos (professional) the butterfly or bug is actually dead and pinned in place.  Some days later while walking in the paddock I found this dead butterfly.  I also acquired a dead centipede (passenger in VW) and a dead fly (on bonnet of 4WD) and so I set up my own quirky photo shoot and this is one of the results.  You like? 

No insects were harmed in the making of this photo, although the butterfly's brittle abdomen did fall off from my poor handling skills.  And I did loose the fly in a light breeze.  But apart from that...

Seagull & Sunshine

This photo was taken on 1/2000 shutter speed on a bridging camera not happy with that particular setting but I like the picture just the same.  The Lovely Husband and I were at the beach side cafe where the seagulls often visit in the hope of a snack or two.
