365 project 2013 Day 035

I stand watching.
Waiting.
I am alone, but I am not lonely.
Shifting light, textures, shades;
these are my companions. - Steve Coleman

365 project 2013 Day 008... angels breath

The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe.

Mark Twain, "Roughing It" 

365 project 2013 Day 007... connected

We're both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We're connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me.”

― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

365 project Year 3 Day 2... memories

Because it’s summer and the memories are just waiting to happen

 

 

Day 239... blue explosion

The colour has started to explode on this plant, I am sure before the end of the year you will see more of these flowers because the bees love it and some days it seems to buzz

Day 217...

Another busy day... I took plenty of shots but nothing suitable for my project so I had to find something at home to shoot.

This is a bit of bling that makes feel a little bit more special when I wear it so it seem perfect for my project    

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 168...

Day 144...

“On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .”

Charles Dickens

 

These berries are so very tiny, they first form as green berries in clumps, turning this beautiful metallic colour

Day 131... from the Land of the Long White cloud

Koru (spiral)

These Maori Designs are the Koru is the Beginning of Life. The Maori have taken their symbolism from the unfurled new leaf of the silver fern. It depicts new beginnings, growth and harmony. New Zealand is the home of the most beautiful ferns in the world

Day 127... blowing in the wind

“I am a feather for each wind that blows”

William Shakespeare

This project keeps on surprising me... today I took photos of a feather, not only that but I took twenty photos of a feather and I have published seven of them.

Day 122...

I think this web has been around for awhile... but I do love the way it seems to be pulling the clouds together.

Day 118... contrast

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction... Newton's first law

I know Newton wasn't talking about colour but when I look at this photo (a vase of sticks in my lounge room) it is what I think of... the brightness of the colour of the wall needs the starkness of the vase and sticks

Day 89... play it LOUD

This is the new stereo that my son has installed in his car...

there was a saying when I was a teenager, "If it is too LOUD, then you are too OLD" and I get the feeling that teenagers of today still believe in the saying

Day 81... magical

Every time a child says I don't believe in fairies there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead.

J. M. Barrie

Day 73... connected

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

William Blake

This guy has been living on the outside of the window at work for a few days now... I went to shoot him yesterday but got distracted, I am glad he stayed around

 

Day 71... unaffected

The daisy's for simplicity and unaffected air - Robert Burns


I wandered through the gardens and unlike yesterday I took many shots, the thing I kept coming back to was the daisies... they were just so simple, so very unaffected
 

Day 26... Australia

I love a sunburnt country,A land of sweeping plains,

Of ragged mountain ranges,Of droughts and flooding rains.

I love her far horizons,I love her jewel-sea,

Her beauty and her terror -The wide brown land for me!



Day 8... baby blues
