Forrest for the trees

I have long been fascinated with photographing trees, to the point where now even Anthony & Xander notice them :-)

 This tree is on either side of the fence... Somewhere 100 odd km from Cobar

 This used to be my office back in 2006

 Sun setting on the trees at the old Cranleigh Homestead gardens (or what's left of them)

 I'm sure we're all familiar with this tree

 Taken out the car window when we were stopped at roadworks somewhere between Narooma and Tilba Tilba

Can't say I have really noticed much about trees, however since this challenge I'm really into trees - love the shapes and textures there are no two the same.

That's it for me for a while. I'll be off the air, but busily taking photographs, if I remember to take my camera. There are not many topics on the list, so if anyone has some ideas e-mail them to me and I will draw up a list, or if you don't want to go on with the challenge, its been good fun.

Felicity's emotions

I've done it again and missed putting my photos up... So I'll put the emotions up and find a selfie for last week's challenge.

Here are three of my favourite boys...

 Concentration

 Frustration

Should learn how to air brush!!! :-)

                                                                How tough is this - it's all about how you hold your fingers!

Jillma's self portraits

Nothing like taking a good look at youself to acknowledge that I'm looking old and without the luxury of a soft lense (good trick Marsie) I present Jillma

I have been the worst ever contributor to this blog

and I'm sorry.

Partly as my old laptop stopped working and I lost all photos

and partly because I'm slack

Nuts and Bolts

 



 

Storms and Water will have to pass at present - I have no archives to look at,

and I don't have a record of future themes - so you'll all have to go first!

Felicity's catch up... Water & Macro

Time flies when you're having fun, or even, as is my case, when you're not. So please excuse my tardiness and blame it on being sick.

I'll delve into my archives again for this catch up session then hopefully I'll manage to stay on top of things again. I do so love the challenge and seeing how we all find different angles for our subjects.
