June 6th

Saturday's challenge from me was:

"Looking Up"

Open to however you wanted to interpret it.....I'm repeating that because I played with the meaning of looking up !
We were at our friends cottage and the day started off really cloudy and I spent an unsuccessful morning looking up.The sun came out and we went for a walk and I took lots and lots of looking up through the trees type pictures,none of which really thrilled me.
Then as the afternoon drew on I caught Ol climbing on the steps from the dock and captured him 'looking up' at me.........


Sorry this face won over a bunch of leaf shots :)

Julie's is here and Patti's here .

The challenge today from Patti was:

"A full shot of texture"

I was a little pushed for time today so had an idea and went with it,no messing about !!
It looks better clicked bigger.

June 4th

Julie's Challenge today was:

"Extreme close up"

Immediately I thought of all the lovely things in my garden and was torn between a close up of a blossom in my neighbours garden(bordering mine !) and a dandelion head waiting to fly off and populate.Then an hour or so ago I spied Ad catching some sun with a book and thought this one fit the bill better......

....and kept in with my effort of including us all in my pictures.
Look at that blue sky,maybe summer is here at last.......

Julie took one of Jack and Patti and I had a great minds moment again !

June 3rd

My turn for a challenge yesterday and it was:

"Number(s)"

I took a picture of my house number that I was happy with but then when Ol was getting ready for soccer and I saw the number on his back,I thought I'd see if I could snap something else I liked better.

I did.......last time I did this challenge,in April,it was all about my garden,this month I want to try (challenges permitting) to include some pictures of us as well.

3/30

I had a few I like but went with the one with a little movement in it.

June 2nd

Patti's challenge for today:
"A bird in flight"

Well first all the birds decided to leave the general vicinity of my garden every time I ventured outside !
When they did enter they flew off as if the hawk was circling !

Miss P it was a challenge but a good one.............not sure you'll let me have mine :)

2/30



The wings are moving which is an indication of flight.......yes?

June 1st

OK well I was holding off,just in case the sun decided to show it's face for some lovely evening light but it didn't :(

Julie's challenge for today was:
"A landscape photo with a dominant forefront image"

It was a challenge !
I didn't want a really blurry background shot but was finding it hard to get common ground.
Also as I was getting it ready to upload I had a panic that by landscape she also meant horizontal.....I hope not as mine isn't !!

1/30 (should click bigger)

Looking through the branches of the maple in the front garden up the street,using the lens hood as a frame.......it's all very green !

A photo a day

It's a new month and I'm back with one photo a day for the month of June.

I'm doing this fun challenge with Patti again but also we've roped in Julie too.
Since Patti and I enjoyed our weekend challenges last time we thought we'd have a word/challenge for everyday this month...should be interesting !
So we've picked 10 each.....we don't know them until the night before because a certain someone thought they might be tempted to cheat if they knew them all in advance !!
So I'll be posting them as regularly as I can here.

Back later with today's challenge photo.
