Muse / Space / Technique
Don’t waste your time, or time will waste you. – Muse, lyrics to Knights of Cydonia. This Weekly Photo Challenge asks us for our Muse – what subjects keeps inspiring us in photography? For me, I don’t think it’s a particular subject, but more a technique. I love macro and close-up photography, and I love singling out…

Escape
The first thing that registered was the dry metallic taste. A singularly unpleasant but not unfamiliar sensation. And then the cold – she realised that she was in her underwear and a t-shirt, how she usually slept, but she felt a gritty dampness beneath her side. She heard herself moaning as she tried to lift her…

Beginning
The morning sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, the golden glow landing on her bare skin. She was tangled in the white sheets, with an arm thrown back above her head and one foot peeking out from beneath the sheet. She looked peaceful and happy and was in that comforting, warm embrace of heavy…

Roy G. Biv (WPC 1)
My timing seems to be quite bad. This week’s photo challenge (ROY G. BIV) is all the colours of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) and last week I published a post of some Rainbow Roses, which would have fitted this theme perfectly. So, I pottered about at home this morning and came…

Secret
She leaned against the railing and stared out at the darkness of the ocean, the waves whipping against the side of the ship, foaming the water so that she could almost make out stripes of white, turquoise and deep, deep blue. She watched the foam disappear from view as the ship slipped through the water…

Getting Perspective (Eclectic Corner #12.3)
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different… – CS Lewis. For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #12 – Perspective (Quote). Why this quote? If we just keep going through life, doing the things we do day by day, we don’t really notice how we are growing…

Rainbow Roses
I was at a florist’s recently and she pointed out her “Rainbow Roses”. These stunning roses are created in Colombia. In fact, she told me that most large roses for sale in bouquets in Australia are flown in weekly from Colombia ! These rainbow roses are made by splitting the stems and placing each part into…
