Day 201...

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
Roger Miller

and some of us stop and take photos of puddles.

I started work at 5 this morning, it was dark and cold outside, later I looked out the window and the winter sun was shining.

When I finished at 1, the winter sun was once again hiding behind the rain clouds but as I walked to the car, this puddle caught my eye...

Day 179... winter

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure in the landscape - the loneliness of it - the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it - the whole story doesn't show."
- Andrew Wyeth

Most of the trees are bare at the moment but this one tree is trying to hold onto it's Autumn leaves  

 

Day 171... spiky

Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll.

I was walking along today when I saw this, it was about 40cms long and I wanted to bring it home so I could really take my time but...
as soon as I picked it up I realised that because of the spikes I wouldn't be taking it far   

Day 158

Day 149...

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Albert Camus

 

Today I thought I would go capture the beauty of a Autumn landscape,

so I travelled to the Adelaide Botanical Gardens

but even the best laid plans don't go to plan...

 

I can't help to get in close and capture the detail... I did get a landscape,

a panoramic landscape...

 

as I was leaving this guy landed on the ground right in front of me and of course I had to capture him...

Day 147... magic

If there is magic on the planet, it is contained in the water.

- Loren Eisley

Winter has not even begun yet this is my third photo in less than a week of raindrops

Day 109... Autumn days

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Dale Carnegie

Day 104...

falling leaves

hide the path

so quietly

~John Bailey, "Autumn,"

the days are getting shorter and the leaves are falling from the trees, colours are changing but the weather is still nice... Autumn is here and it is a beautiful season.

My thanks to a dear friend, who gave me a memory card to keep in my purse (as I would often be caught without a card having left it in the computer) and with out that memory card this photo would not have been because once again I forgot the card

Day 96... it looks like

A beautiful Autumn day in Adelaide today, clear blue skies... time to get out into the parklands

“If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.”

Douglas Adams

Day 92... change the way you look

When you change the way you look at things – the things you look at change!

Today I photographed something that I have already photographed.... http://frameitthenshootit.blogspot.com/2011/02/day-49-raindrops-on-rose.html

but today I changed the way I looked at it and I am quite pleased with the result...

Day 79... autumn days

In autumn when the trees are brown
The little leaves come tumbling down
They do not make the slightest sound
But lie so quietly on the ground
Until the wind comes puffing by
And blows them off towards the sky. 

 These leaves never got the chance to fly into the sky... my beautiful, two year old, nephew collected them for me so I just had to take photos of them.

Day 65... things are changing

Today's photo has been taken on my iPhone, I had taken photos earlier in the day and while they were not perfect I was happy but as I sat enjoying a drink with friends I saw this and just knew that I had a new photo of the day...

Autumn has began and the leaves are changing...

Day 39... apples

The apples are turning red... we planted this tree about 6 years ago but this is the first year we have more than one or two apples so now we have to work out what to do with them, apple pie is leading the way at the moment

 

Day 30.... summer days

Temp: 42C

Standing in this weather was draining, working in this weather a killer... yet this vine seems to be thriving.



Day 9... wandering through the gardens

Since starting the 365 project I have carried my camera with me everyday... I have found that some days I take only the photo for the day while other days I take many, today I took many...
