Day 181... new growth

The new growth in the plant swelling against the sheath, which at the same time imprisons and protects it, must still be the truest type of progress.”
Jane Addams

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 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 142... raindrops

“Sometimes I see myself as a child in a rain storm, running around trying to catch all the drops in his mouth. I long for your adventures to be like the raindrops the child saves and not those which crash to the ground.”

I don't catch the raindrops in my mouth but I do want to catch them in photos... it may official be Autumn but the weather is becoming more and more wintry

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 130

A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.

Doug Larson

This picture explains why they can't grow in lines as they spread their seed on the wind

Day 95... sweet

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.

Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858

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 91... cut and COLOUR

A good man might be hard to find, but a good hairdresser is next to impossible

I was at the hairdressers this morning, I couldn't believe the colour that was around...

Day 89... busy, busy

If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all the picnics?

Marie Dressler

My subject was the flowers, the colours really caught my attention when I noticed the busy, busy little ants

 

Day 70... pretty pink

A pretty pink flower... it was one of those days where time was very tight and I only took two photos for the day, both of this little pretty pink flower

 

Day 69... so very tiny

This plant has very beautiful purple and green leaves and that is what I was planning to shoot when I saw these very tiny flowers... the two flowers were only the width of my thumb.

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 25.... bling
