This is another of the fabric covered face buttons I bought recently, and the largest of the 3. Having such lovely pink tulips (from the supermarket) I wanted to use them again before they opened up too fully. Actually, to be fair, I like tulips even when their petals start to fall, so there was really no rush. :)

The slow decay of this slippery elm leaf began last October. Its curled appearance made it stand out from all the flat oak leaves on the Lower Hixon Forest floor. Perhaps that curled structure allowed for a small invertebrate to spend the winter inside the leaf.
We bought this scratching post/bed thing for Fyero about a year ago now and for the majority of the year she's ignored it. Couldn't be bothered with it.
Well, this past month she's changed her mind about it and has decided it is worthy of her time.
Glad she likes it now; it's cute seeing her sitting up on the platform judging the dog.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

I chose Savory for this week's challenge. I put flax crackers, green & black olives, old cheddar cheese, and a few carrot curls dribbled with olive oil.
I got my camera back from Canon finally. I actually wore out the shutter after 109,000 exposure. I really missed having my camera with me at all times and being able to capture visions like this.
Shot this last year on our family holiday trip up Cameron Highlands...
Do have a great weekend my dear friends : )
The curl at the Wedge in Newport Beach is always spectacular as was this ride. Good job catching it and staying in the curl making a safe exit before it crashed on him.
One of my all time favorite photos from last fall...my best friend has the most beautiful curls. (which of course she hates!)
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much
Or Ivory Curl Flower or Spotted Silky Oaks are bursting forth in abundance right now in Brisbane. Some younger trees line a nearby road. The flowers smell wonderful too.
And a tribute to my Brisbane friend Christy Gallois who is a profuse photographer of our little corner of the world and always has a smile for everyone. And inspired me to slip down the road in heat and humidity to shoot these lovely trees.
Just across from the Flow Bar, in the lovely undergrowth leading to the ocean. I used this trip to really test out high dynamic range photography, this being one of the first ones I processed. It has been pointed out to me that this photo does not look much like a HDR image; I was hoping to get the depth of field without the garishness associated with HDR, though I would perhaps be a little braver with the processing or bracketing to hint at the dynamic range if i were to process it again.
On a sultry summer day the stillness of the air accentuates the quietness surrounding a century old barn. No animals or birds interrupt the silence and only the whispers of the past curl around fading boards. As my years have lengthened I find fewer and fewer people who are interested in what I once did and my memories now dance slowly in solitude.
The punga or NZ Tree Fern exhibits beautifully curled fronds in a stage of it's growth cycle. Leaves unfurl to reveal silver grey undersides
He made a great turn at the bottom and made it through the curl at the Wedge in Newport Beach, California. By all means not a big day if surf but just a beautiful morning with smoot glassy surf thanks to the hurricane of Baja California. It should be much bigger in a couple of days. We'll see... I will keep a watch out.
