Journey Around the Sun - Days 65 through 73

Today I remembered a photo I'd taken over a week ago and wondered why I hadn't posted it, then I realised how far behind I was. So I'm trying to catch up. I've decided at the end of this week to take a two week blog-cation, my son's going to be on school holidays and I want to be able to spend some quality time with him. But I'll continue my project 365, I'll just leave editing and blogging till he goes back to school.

Day Sixty Five

Florabella Searust II texture applied

Noisy Miner, taken with my 50mm 1.8, he was that close. He was actually closer at first but this was in the middle of the city and a man, completely oblivious to him, actually walked right by scary him away, but he came back after I quietly waited although he was a bit timid.

Taken for Scavenger Hunt prompt of Stairs. I love the colour and texture of these stairs.

Love the light in this shot!

Day Sixty Six

Father's Day and breakfast in bed for my husband, buttermilk pancakes with berry compote and ice cream. That's our son and my husband in the background checking out his homemade card. :-)

Day Sixty Seven 

Florabella Olive Juice texture applied

I love how this raindrop looks like a ball on this clover leaf.

Day Sixty Eight

Processed with Paint the Moon Macchiato action Florabella Brushed Sky II texture applied

Lawn weeds, taken with my 50mm 1.8 together with my extension tube 25.

Day Sixty Nine

Isabelle Lafrance Midsummer texture applied

Clover is taking over our lawn but I don't really care, I love to photograph it. At sunset, love the glow!

Day Seventy

Florabella Sonata texture applied

Processed with Isabelle Lafrance Soulful Everyday Vintage and Florabella Blushing texture applied

Freesias are taking over my garden and I love it, I cut myself a bunch every couple of days. I love the fragrance! This time last year I wasn't really into photography so much, and I regretted not taking photos of my Freesias all year, so I'm making up for it now.

Day Seventy One

Processed with Isabelle Lafrance Soulful Everyday Vintage

Pelicans at the docks, it poured down while we were there but I managed to get these before that.

Florabella Brushed Sky and Sonata texture applied

Florabella Ashbury texture applied

I shot this through the passenger side window of our car going 100km down the motorway at sunset, I love the way the light was hitting the water in the river we were driving over but I knew we couldn't stop, so I just opened my aperture and blurred the focus, then applied a texture, I like the effect.

Day Seventy Two

Florabella Sonata and Heirloom texture applied

An old Swedish Alphabet book with Flower "fairies", I love this book and others like it as a child. I loved the idea of fairies for every flower, like Barker's Flower Fairies.

Day Seventy Three

Processed with Isabelle Lafrance Fleeting action and Florabella Chardonnay texture applied
