I noticed the unfolding petals in the centre of this apricot rose looks like the shutters of a camera aperture.

Variegated Rose taken at the International Rose Garden, Adelaide Botanical Garden during my last visit to Adelaide.

I was surprised how this image turned out. It was just past noon and it was very bright with the overhead sun.

I used a plastic shower cap ( my improvised filter ) which fit nicely into my open palm in one hand to block the sunlight and I took the picture with the other hand.

"Climate change isn’t an ‘issue’ to add to the list of things to worry about, next to health care and taxes. It is a civilizational wake-up call. A powerful message — spoken in the language of fires, floods, droughts, and extinctions — telling us that we need an entirely new economic model and a new way of sharing this planet. Telling us we need to evolve."

(Naomi Klein)

A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.

I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).

Thank you for your interest in and taking the time to comment on or fav my photos it's very much appreciated! :-)

Anything can happen on a Friday Night. Beware.

This is advertisement for a resort here in Wimberley, Texas. As I've said before, there are a lot of creative people in this town. I did some volunteer photography last night for the Waller Creek group. They had an event on the creek. I'm going to post some of the shots here during the week.

There was an art festival going on while I was at the coast. I had forgotten that Rockport was an art community. After taking this pic I went and walked around the in side and was really impressed by the work of so many artist. However, most of it was paintings. I hate the fact that people to recognize photography as art. Sure there was some photography work but selling for so much less than the paintings.

Other than that..;) The festival was fun. There was live music, lots of different foods and of course, the rides. I didn't go on the rides..:)

Hi Christine, this variety's petals look similar to the one you posted. Focus, left much to be desired.

Not every boat goes out in the morning I guess. And, maybe it can't. Because of the high tide it's hard to see the fence part. Plus, it's not much of a fence..;)

Hope all my American contacts had a wonderful Thanksgiving and everyone have a wonderful weekend. I have to work Friday and Saturday but I'm taking a week off Yay!

HFF!

This isn't that great of an image. I took it with my phone. This is what I saw when I pulled into my work Tuesday. It's deer hunting season around here so the deer are staying close to buildings..;)
