Beautiful Brisbane – March 2015
We have a tourism catchphrase here in Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next…. It is a beautiful city and I am very happy to showcase one small part of it for Cardinal’s Monthly Changing Seasons Challenge. The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…

Twilight Beach
During my recent 5 Photos 5 Stories challenge, I posted a photo entitled Despair, which was a black and white photo of my friend up on a rock. That same evening, I took a number of photos at the beach (Maroubra). It was almost 8pm and the light was almost gone, I quite like…

Orange is the New Challenge
My submission for this week’s photo challenge – Orange. I love these gallery challenges, it’s fun to go through and find photos that are unrelated except by their hue. These include photos taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 (they’re the watermarked photos). Interspersed are also a bunch of iPhone snaps. Some of these I’ve posted before…

One Photo Focus 3
This week for One Photo Focus, Stacy from Visual Venturing brings to us a photo from Loré Dombaj from Snow’s Fissures and Fractures, called Scene from a Salzburg Cafe. Actually, I have a sneaking feeling that I’ve been to this very spot many many years ago! Here is the original photo: I had a little trouble trying…

Who Am I ??
I found some very cool plants on my recent travels. My header image is shown in colour in the gallery below – it’s a very cool dark dark purple colour. It’s an amazing succulent, but I couldn’t find anyone to tell me what it is. The header image, I was trying some new editing. I converted…

Tea (Coffee) Party
I’m again joining Justine’s Tea Party and bringing one of my favourite coffees – the affogato. This delicious little concoction is a scoop (or 2) of ice cream with a shot (or 2) of hot espresso. Affogato is Italian for drowned, so let’s drown our ice cream in coffee – yum! Don’t forget to use…

Reward
I could see the sunset in the distance, but it was always obscured by buildings and such, so it was a great REWARD to round the corner and spot this scene. I had to pull into someone’s driveway and jump out of the car with just a couple of minutes of light left, but…

Fly on Flower
Fly lands on flower Searching for the sweet nectar But he’s not a bee My first and quite pathetic attempt at a haiku – eek! But I like the photo. Unfortunately, his feet are disappearing into the flower due to my shallow depth of field but this…

Lost in Abandon
They left their bikes tied to a signpost and ran down the hill, hands clasped, giggling. After three years of waiting, they wanted nothing more than to lose themselves in each other. As they approached the water, he let go of her hand so that he could pull off his shirt. He turned to her,…

The Prison of Her Heart
And she takes another step. A step towards the gap. The gap in the wall. The wall of her prison. The prison of her heart. I’ve been nominated by afairymind over at Storyteller’s Abode to participate in the 5 Photos / 5 Stories Black and White Photo Challenge. She has been posting some great photos with some…

Colour My World
Just trying something a little different today. This is the photo that I wanted to use for Justine’s Eclectic Corner #6, where she posted a lovely piece of a story as a prompt for us to submit some writing or a photograph in response. One part of her writing struck me – she wrote…
