今日はやっとiPhoneのバッテリー交換を済ませて来ました！
日差しはあったけれど、北風がピューピュー吹いていたので、春めいた服着ていって寒かったです💧(待ち時間に歩いて外出)

今朝になってOSのアップデートがあったり、iPhoneを探すをオフにしなきゃ、アップルウォッチも…なんてやっていたら1日が終わりました。ですが、これで暫く大丈夫かなぁて

Yellow flowering along the tow path,grey skies,goat willow

Purple waterdropped flowers low amongst the wood floor,green leaves,ivy,brown leaves,violet

Green blotched leaves amongst brown wet leaves,lords and ladies

A beautiful white pink tinged flower with water drops curling as it grows,wood anemone

Spring sundays some sunday yellow amongst purples,greens,intricate tinged whites,time went out the window for a few hours

Old house stood silent Held witness #spellbound decades of dust. Walls peel pain seeping red rust. Recollections amplified Child’s sobbing heard from afar. Small hearts that wept. Shadows call gather dark. While secrets dream. Most oft of despair than any happiness. Its rooms may have seen. * My image / My words written do today’s prompt. #vss365 #poet #PhotographersUnited #Photography #Photo #ImageAndVerse #Artist #ClassicMono #BlueSky #EastCoastKin #BNW #Writer #WritingCommunity

Old house
stood silent
Held witness
#spellbound
decades of dust.
Walls peel pain
seeping red rust.
Recollections amplified
Child’s sobbing
heard from afar.
Small hearts
that wept.
Shadows call
gather dark.
While secrets dream.
Most oft of despair
than happiness.
Its rooms may have

Hope your days a good one 😊

A vertical, black and white, photo taken under a bridge. You can see the decorated concrete, supports as they get smaller and smaller in the distance. In the foreground are palmetto bushes and some palm trees are in the distance on the right side of the photo.

When you go under the bridge....

Waver in footy ?
Sacrilege, way to find yourself expelled from the family in a permanent way.
Good lord unthinkable 😂

♥️

White flower with a pink tinge just growing out of the wood floor,brown leaves,anemone

Emerging anemone white flower pink tinge

Delicate 1st arrivals soon to be a spreading carpet through the wood

My grandfather on my mums side had again a two door Charger bright orange brand spanking new.
I still remember those ads from the 70’s
Hey Charger ✌️ as someone drove one down the
road 🤣
Geelong was the hub for Ford here in Vic.
Blue collar Working class like my family drove Holdens 😊

Sigh 😞
My dad’s car two door Valiant Chrysler I think the interior was burgundy leather
white with a black top.
We were a loyal generational Holden family other than all of us having that one break out car.
My brother sold my dads when he died.
All of them worth bank now.
Hindsight 😊

Yellow flowers green leaves amongst damp brown leaves,prim

Blue purple flowers in the woods,blurred trees behind,a tiny black beetle on a bluebell

A damp but mild sunday morning but plenty of colour to brighten a grey day in the woods,spring be waking

Me too I had a two door ford coupe cream black interior 1966 someone reengineered the motor mount dropped a v8 in it chrome mags.
That car was my passion
But I loved it but life happens and I needed to pay bills more than I could afford leaded petrol.
It’s my if I ever car get rich I’ll find it car.

Close up image of Blackform blossom at the top of a stem with raindrops present on many of the open flowers and the one flower bud. The petals are white the centre of the flower is green as is the Stigma and Style while the fliaments are white and the anthers orange.

My grandfather had a 56 Chevy tan and creme leather interior left hand drive.
Drove it down a lane way to park it in his backyard car port behind his house with about an inch either side of wiggle room.
The love of his life.
After he died my uncle sold it for peanuts.
Bet he regrets it to this day

It’s more than likely 😊

C'est si bien écrit, merci ♥️

Me too I shall take a trip an find out soon 😊

Thanks !
I haven’t see it in a while once weather cools.
I’m going to visit again and see if it’s still standing or even there anymore. 😊

Me too !
Ahaha 🤣 I’m a sucker for my own shit only because they are so colourful and I’m afraid photos just don’t show how vibrant they really are in person.
But I’m so happy you like him 😊♥️

I don’t have a technique other than trial and error don’t use editing apps etc
I transfer then use an iPhone to do small edits and that’s it.
Lucky. I get pretty lucky half the time as I’m mostly clueless.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help and thank you for your support 😊

A newborn lamb stands slightly unsteady on green grass, its small body still fluffy with tight, cream-coloured curls. The lamb has delicate black markings on its nose and around one eye, with dark patches on its lower legs and hooves. One ear glows pink in the light, showing the thinness of the skin. The lamb’s expression is calm and curious as it steadies itself in the spring pasture. 🐑🌱

Good morning. Last couple of days helping my brother. Then the worst of the rush will be over. Not had much sleep. 😴 Some people wanted to see a little cutie so here goes. I’ll be posting BOTD after. #Spring #lamb #photography #ECK

After the rain, a single perfect sphere of water rests on the tip of a small Sedum acre — common stonecrop. In this extreme close-up, the unassuming ground cover reveals a hidden world of jewel-like beauty. The fleshy, scale-like leaves radiate an electric yellow-green, deepening to dark emerald in shadow and warming to golden chartreuse at the tips. The large central droplet sits in perfect balance like a polished lens, capturing the entire scene and reflecting it back — miniaturised, inverted, and glowing. Around it, dozens of smaller drops cling to the stems, each a tiny sphere of frozen light tinted green by the plant beneath. The waxy cuticle of Sedum causes water to bead rather than absorb, holding every droplet in near-perfect spherical form — a raindrop carrying an entire world within itself.

In contrast to the simplicity of the last post, here is a photograph taken yesterday using a macro settting. Labouring in the garden for my folks, I took a quick five mins to whizz round snapping the spring garden delights. Saw this lichen clinging in clumps to the structural skeleton of an azalea. Image shows various smooth, mid-brown winter branches of an established azalea across the frame. In contrast, clinging to that in clumps is frilly, silvery lichen. Behind/below this, blurred, is a border with various plants and a short length lawn. A busy image, almost too much to take in, but I like it. Bit like spring, there's al lot going on so the eye doesn't quite know what to look at first!

Ta Da 🎉 He’s finished. I personally don’t think he’s colourful enough for me. But I practiced restraint🤣sad about that one. Less is more apparently or some such bullshit. It’s a big piece length wise so makes quite the statement in person ! *The Birth of Water. My latest abstract pointillist painting of the celebration of the birth of water. Multi coloured nearly every hue pinks oranges reds blues purples yellows. It’s done with splatter work and raised dots. #Art #Artist #Australia #Photo #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing #Painting #Photography #acrylicpainting #Expression

Looming. He stood as I sat on my bed resigned to my punishment. One step behind her face gloated until a small #jewellery box appeared in his hand. My only gift from him. Delicate bluebirds in flight on a gold chain. Her face fell as he blocked her way. A symbol of his love. Setting me free.

Time and tide as Autumn begins to throw her shadows. My image of one of the many sea shells that wash up upon our beaches here in Australia. Taken on the shoreline with some kelp in the background the shell has beautiful browns and aqua blues in its details. #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing #Ocean #Photography #Australia #EastCoastKin #macro #Photo #BlueSky #PhotographersUnited
