A Daily Walk in Greyscale

I’m sharing these photos for Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge: Black and White
On her blog, Sally shares two fascinating examples of street art.

Here are some of the sensory moments I have each day when walking Vika. Changing the images to B&W breaks them down to the basic elements capturing my attention.

The feature photo shows flowering clover and belladonna straps, down by the footbridge at the end of our service road.

The light play on clover flower stalks intrigued me for weeks.

And Vika says what the heck are you doing down there! She waits patiently.

Thanks for looking. Do have a good day. 🙂

Nikon D3000 DSLR: bird, and bee images

Wattlebird, euclytptus blossom

I think this is one of the best images I’ve got of a wattlebird, so far. The tree is always in heavy shadow and the birds just a little too high up. Another lens would be useful.

New Holland honeyeater – nearly!

New Holland Honeyeater: I am looking forward to the day when I have perfected the art of capturing this bird flying with a bit of clarity. Today, this bird flew only a foot above my head, chasing a wattlebird out of the ivy. Too late to raise the camera, they were gone. It has a surprising amount of yellow in its wings.

coming right to me

After days of non-stop rain, these galahs were soaked and miserable-looking. That is an unused three-roomed bungalow behind them. Each year I think is the year we will freshen it up but of course, we don’t. Perhaps this summer. It needs painting and renovation – much like our house, which is why I have never put up an image up of it, ever. 🙂
