From Start to Finish

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge  –  Story

In this week’s photo challenge, we have been asked to be a visual story-teller.  Rather than choose a series of photos that provide a complete narrative, I’ve chosen three photos (three different stories) that respectively represent a beginning, middle and an end. Read more

Close Encounters of a Canberra Kind

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge  –  Out of This World

If we could visit another society in another galaxy, what would their buildings look like?  Perhaps they might look like one of my favourite buildings, the Shine Dome, which houses the Australian Academy of Science.  The Shine Dome, which was completed in 1959, was constructed when the space race was just starting to get serious.  It is an exceptional building.  I’m grateful for the assistance of my true love who kindly took these photos for me.  I subsequently applied some filters to them to achieve the otherworldly special effects.

Silent No More

WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – Silence

I have chosen two photos of outdoor sculptures to represent this week’s theme of ‘silence’.  I used a sculpture last week too.  When you’re onto a good thing, might as well stick to it.

The first photo is of Emile Bourdelle’s sculpture of Penelope.

How Does Your Tromboncino Grow?

Weekly Photo Challenge –  Growth

This week the theme for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is ‘growth’.  Here is my photo.  It is the Zucchini Tromboncino.  We haven’t had much luck growing regular zucchini (courgette) over the last couple of years, so we decided to give the big guy a go. Read more

Pelican ahoy

I thought I would join in a photo challenge from Debbie at Travel with Intent.  The theme is White.  My participation is inspired by Brian at Bushboys World.  Brian has posted some photos of beautiful white pelicans.   So I thought I would post a photo of a pelican too.  But this one is not real.  It is a mosaic piece I made a number of years ago.

Enjoy.

Unfortunately, I’ve almost exhausted my supply of the lovely pink tile and there are no more to be found.

What do you think?
