Wednesday July 23rd, 2008 Ok.. Still not up to my 'routine blogging', (as per my recent posted notice), but I have managed to add a couple of posts that I wasn't expecting to get the chance to do, and well, yes, this one too. Normal services (of my blogging muses and photos) should resume sometime...
"I'm ready for my Glamour shot now thanks".... Have a few photo of birds in my unposted collection, but not often can I get the clarity or detail of the eyes to show, most especially when the bird is of a mostly black colouring, but where it does, I will post these.
I'm sure I've bored you all to tears with previous duck shots that I've already posted and no doubt will again and again with the many more to come, but I am drawn to two particular snaps of ducks that were taken at the Carlton Gardens. Something magical happens when viewing these shots afterwards,...
Couple snaps from Brimbank Park. Have a couple more of the typical obvious shots, but personally liked the above abstract-geometric style shot, and also, quite enjoying adding to my flowers collection, incl native plants or wildflower shots. Unfortunately I have no information on this plant as yet,...
Sunday July 13th, 2008 I will be off-air for awhile, computer maintenance, coinciding with far too many social commitments (it never rains, but it pours). Lets just hope it won't be xmas before I'm back. Well, just in case.... I've made you a funky xmas card, from one of my (stock photos) that I had...
Received this fun email (link to website "It was this Big!" and very funny pic below), which prompted me to hunt out some old photos I still hadn't blogged yet (above). Always had in mind the tag "It was this Big!" for the above image, (you know, the typical 'the one that got away' fishing story),...

Miscellaneous Reflections to add to my series:
Just a couple more photos to add to my "Lens, Pencil or Brush?" series. Quite like the whole concept of playing around and making ones own art from distorting photographic images. (See previous post with attached article on this subject, here>>). Besides the fact that I don't have the talent to pick...

A couple more scenic shots of the area - I may add more later when I have the time... and..... ... a couple of b/w pics from Yarra Bend Park, that I can get to add to my 'Enchanted Forest' series.... “Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of...
Can't take credit for growing this one in my garden, although I do have a few rose bushes, just not pink ones, (...as yet *smiles*). Maybe later on I will add more, do more, in the backyard. Quite well aware that one can quickly be a slave to the garden, and, at this stage of my life I'm happier to...
Proud Display - First rose of the season to bloom in my garden. It was a cloudy day when I took this shot, nevertheless, the sun did pop out for a second, long enough to snap it, but just can't seem to get the brightness right on the image here without losing the detail of the pic. Have fiddled long...
Have had this snap in my collection - It was taken at the Heide Museum of Modern Art and Gardens: Can't say I know very much about any area of botany (flowers included), although I am fast becoming more inquisitive in this area since September last year when I picked up the camera and began...
clipped from melbourneartcritic.wordpress.com My career advisor in high school was useless, but this entry isn’t about that. It is about careers from street art and professional street artists, the economic bottom line and the art world. In Street Art Uncut by Matthew Lunn (p.15) there is a map of...
