My green little nook on my verandah.
March Day 17: GREEN
The Crayola PipSqueaks texta collection has SO many different shades of the one colour.
Love 'em!!
March Day 16: SUNGLASSES
My uninspiring, cheap pair of sunnies. I'm too rough on them to buy expensive ones and not fashion or beauty-conscious enough to want them!
March Day 15: CAR
These little pieces of paper can be rather costly each year, but they allow me to legally drive my car and enjoy this freedom.
March Day 14: CLOUDS
It was one of those cloudy days today, without any cloud definition. Just grey coverage. I felt I had to frame the cloudiness against the power lines and distant mountains.
March Day 13: A SIGN
Thinking about this subject as I drove down town this morning, my first thoughts were road signs. I assumed I'd just see a few signs - road signs, shop signs, real estate 'for sale' signs. On the 2km return journey, I became aware of literally hundreds and hundreds of signs. I started to feel the human race is a bit dense, needing all this signage to survive. But felt a little comforted at knowing we needed some of it to avoid anarchy in our modern society.
March Day 11: SOMEONE YOU TALKED TO TODAY
So many ways to 'talk' today. Landlines, mobiles, text messages, social media and in person. I spoke with people on the landline today, in person and via text message. All relatively the norm nowadays.
March Day 10: LOUD
I glanced at today's topic so I could keep an eye out for inspiration throughout the day, when I looked back to my computer game of Scrabble, to see the very topic spelled out with my selection of letters. How very strange!
March Day 8: WINDOW
Preparing my breakfast in front of the kitchen window this morning, the morning sun sparkled on a couple of bright red Canna Lily's just outside. Lovely way to start the morning.
March Day 7: SOMETHING YOU WORE
Just a little bit of bling on the singlet top I wear under my blouses.
March Day 6: 5 pm
This is what I was doing as the clock struck 5pm. Realising the top I want to wear tomorrow is still wet, I've hung it near an open window in my bathroom.
March Day 3: YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Part of enjoying my local neighbourhood today was a visit to the local skatepark with my gorgeous nephews.
March Day 2: FRUIT
Not fruit in its original state but of course made from grapes, a fruit. Just probably not part of the five food groups!
Photo Challenge: MARCH
I'm going to keep going for another month. I haven't looked at the topics yet, but I'm going to try to think outside the square for each and every one. I'm going to try not to let the "everydayness" of the challenge, let me get jaded or lazy with it.
Feb Day 29: SOMETHING YOU'RE LISTENING TO
It was such a beautiful afternoon, after a long day indoors studying, that I lay out on the grass with my dog, and listened to the sounds of the afternoon. Many of them, the sounds of nature. Bliss.
Feb Day 28: MONEY
Can't do a lot without money these days. Even a little social group needs a few dollars behind them to assist those on lower incomes. So, I have a few raffle tickets to sell at the moment .... to make money.
Feb Day 27: SOMETHING YOU ATE
These simple snacks caught my eye in the supermarket at the weekend. Something I haven't had in ages. So today they were my afternoon "brain food" at TAFE.
Feb Day 26: NIGHT
My night time routine often consists of watching TV. Not exciting, but relaxing before bedtime.
Feb Day 25: GREEN
I've looked at this solitary green shutter on this cement wall for months before this challenge came along. For some reason it constantly draws my eye to it. Something about this resonates within me.
Feb Day 24: INSIDE YOUR BATHROOM CABINET
Always amongst the mundane, a little luxury exists in every girls bathroom cabinet.
Feb Day 23: YOUR SHOES
I've viewed a few photo interpretations of this subject today, and I can't match the beautiful shoes I've seen in them. Shoes have never been my thing. I have some cheap ones for gardening, a pair of joggers for exercise and a few for going out. Functional but not pretty. Even my little shoe rack at the back door has been invaded by other objects ... dog leads, tins of paint. Not the highest of priorities in my life, obviously :-)
Feb Day 22: WHERE YOU WORK
Work often implies paid work, careers, jobs. But work is any activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. So it could be housework, Mummy duties, gardening, studying, paying bills or paid work of some description. Or all of the above for most people, most days. Today saw the largest amount of effort on my part being put into over 7 hours of study. My head is very tired tonight, but I got a lot done, learned a few things, was very thorough and am left feeling proud and satisfied. Often the result of a good days work!
Feb Day 21: A FAVE PHOTO OF YOU (ME)
Two photos came to mind when I was contemplating this challenge. Both childhood photos, and in the moment, I chose this, from the pure innocence and delight on my face. I was completely in the moment, full of joy and anticipation, and hope for the future. A moment captured, a moment that existed, another moment similar I'd love to have.
Feb Day 20: HANDWRITING
[Click to Enlarge the Photo]
Handwriting. Almost like fingerprints. So personal and unique to each person. Many thoughts came to me as I thought about this topic. How I wished I had lovely flowing smooth handwriting. Remembering the cards I've kept with grandparents handwriting on them. How hard it was to always decipher the doctors' handwriting when I worked for them, but even at their worst, they had their own patterns. Today I've included a photo of some handwriting of my then 6 year old nephew. He had decided to be a spy at school and record what he saw that was interesting each day. I still laugh every time I look at this photo. He is developing his handwriting as he grows, as well as his own unique personality.
Feb Day 19: SOMETHING YOU HATE TO DO
There are lot's of those little daily jobs that I hate. Or parts of jobs. Such as, I don't mind mowing, but I hate emptying the catcher. I don't mind cleaning the bathroom, but hate cleaning the shower. I don't mind weekly rubbish, but I hate that I can't find a decent sized bin to fit in my kitchen. The only bit I didn't plan well. And a job I hate doing, because it accumulates on the little bench and I have to take it outside each day. Grrr!
Feb Day 18: DRINK
I don't like a lot of alcoholic drinks. But I discovered at Christmas time I do like some of the Rum mixers. Seemingly not that much though, discovering these sitting quietly on the base of my pantry cupboard.
Feb Day 17: TIME
I took this photo in this way, to signify how fast time seems to fly by. How fleeting it can be. And hence, how precious it is. We must make the most of the time we have.
Feb Day 16: SOMETHING NEW
A flashback to childhood, except mine was a wooden cotton reel with 4 nails in the top. I thought I'd see how creative I can get with this one as an adult.
Feb Day 15: PHONE
My mobile phone probably has more features than one I'd choose, simply because I won it a couple of years ago, and would be beyond my price range. It's amazing what these little "mini computers" can do these days. Far more than simply dial and receive calls. With them, you're never out of contact. Good sometimes. Great for safety issues. But otherwise a darn nuisance and very intrusive. So, in an old fashioned protest, I switch mine off at night.
Feb Day 13: BLUE
As I glanced around this afternoon, thinking of what I could photograph that's blue, so many items come into view. The sand picture on my desk, my favourite blue writing pen, the screen on my laptop computer, the stormy clouds rolling in .... but today I chose this cute little lava lamp keyring.
Feb Day 12: INSIDE YOUR CLOSET
Just a small glimpse of my closet. A neat selection of mixed goods. A closet reflects life really ... some parts neat, some parts messy, a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
