2/365 - Loved the way our wreath looked hanging on the door once the snow fell. #Imperfect365 #Project365
Triangles in nature.
This was a tough one. I couldn't really think of any natural triangles, and didn't see anything as I walked around the park. Until I noticed the sun shining through a maple tree. Five tiny triangles attached to a stem.
300 Project 365 photos down, 65 to go.
Tonights photo is of the pedestrian bridge over Grant Street built for the students of the University of Ballarat to get between parts of the campus without disrupting traffic. It's been there for a couple of years now and it's timber is fading at the same rate as the building on the right, so now it doesn't stand out as much as it did when it was first installed.
today is may 17th, & I should be studying for my test tomorrow.
but i needed to relieve some stress, so i decided i need to do my photo of the day,
so took out the camera, & started shooting! :)
the title of this photo is explained in Fact #1.

okaay, i am done! whew. that was hard. okay. So If i tagged you, up to you, if you want to do the ten facts.... if not, its alll gooooooood :)
I went to a Norwex party at Becca's house tonight. Had never been to one before. I ordered the dryer balls.
A special treat!!! My first real DSLR-Like camera was a brand new Olympus E-20n I bought in early 2002. I found one on eBay that works and was cheap! Just like I remember, slow and cumbersome. I replaced it with an Olympus E-1 in 2004. (GASP! Was that foreshadowing?!?!?!?)

Instinct is a funny thing. It can be persistent and agitating, but nonetheless, it's something we need to listen to every now and then. I'm not very good at listening to my instincts, but I plan to get better at it, some day soon. :o)
I found these caution tapes at a new building development on my way home from work. I knew I'd use it some time and today, I did...
Here's to following instincts, even if it takes just one day at a time. :o)
I'm just kiddin... Here's tonight's shot. Just before I snagged my new iPad Air out of the box. Thanks to the wifey for spoiling me...

My grandmother kept hens and chicks in her garden. Here's my latest attempt to keep a dish of them alive on the back porch.

A much loved local house, parts of which date to the 14th Century, but most of what you can see today is 16th Century. Normally the owner has their car parked outside (how very dare they?!!) but today they were out so I was able to create a 4 frame bendy panorama

People are big on labels. I suppose, it makes it easier for us to understand those who seem so far from ourselves. We don't just judge, but also act as jury as we observe what others do. Now more than ever, we're more "out there" than we've ever been. In the advent of so many networking sites and thanks to the glory of the internet, our worlds expand just with a touch of the Google Search button. Being out there definitely has it's perks, but it makes us more vulnerable, at the mercy of other people's evaluations. They say that if you put yourself "out there" expect to undergo scrutiny, but it's one thing to receive constructive criticism (that's actually beneficial and always needed), but to be blatantly trashed for doing something that doesn't harm anyone, is just plain wrong.
The funny thing is, everyone does it. I know I do it with pseudo-celebrities like Paris Hilton or the girls from 'The Hills' or the Kardashians; or anyone who's famous simply for being famous, rather than having any sort of valid contribution. But I learned that the trick is not to pay attention. So if we don't like someone or something, all we need to do is avert our eyes.
I really appreciate all the feedback on my work, I'm learning so much about art and photography from flickr and it really has changed the way I look at life. I feel I found something in photography that I've never had before and I'd be a damned fool if I let it go just because of a few nasty, unhelpful comments from people (outside of flickr) who, I manage to effortlessly piss-off... Ah well, c'est la vie...
It's nearly Happy Friday, and that's a good thing.

Six weeks of holidays disappeared in a blink of an eye. Today was my first day back at uni, topped up with 4hours of tutoring and usual chores - it was one massive haze of a day, but in a good way.
August... WOW! Exactly four months before my 27th birthday. It's all starting - the busy phase of the year that I'm half looking forward to and half-dreading. I had to draw up an hour by hour schedule so I know exactly what I'm suppose to be doing and where I'm suppose to be. I'm great at planning, but it's the "doing" part that I find difficult.
I apologize in advance if I fade in and out of flickr guys, I will visit as much as can... I just know how crazy my final semester will get - I even had to schedule in shooting & posting times - all that's missing are toilet break schedules.
Everything has a bright side and a dark one. I just want to stay safely in the middle and just learn how to balance it all.
3/29/16 - The weather seems like it is getting nicer. This guy has been stuck by itself in one of my containers all winter. Hopefully he will soon be surrounded by flowers.
