A challenge from me for this day and it was:

"Fresh"

A quick venture into the garden gave me this......

My pale pink peony is yet to to open and I liked the raindrops on there too,thought it looked fresher !

Patti's is here and Julie's here.

June 26th

A big fat no show !

I failed on Patti's challenge of:

"Ghetto lighting"

I'm going to try and do it in the remaining couple of days.

June 25th

Julie issued.....

"Heat"

As the challenge for yesterday and it was a case of great minds thinking a like as I too took my glass out in the heat of the day.....


Although I wasn't completely happy with it and as I was checking through the photo's from yesterday I liked this one too(looks better clicked bigger)..........


Oliver's way of beating the heat was to ask to go to the sprinkler park at Rigaud.
Patti also choose more of a way of beating the heat here.

OK my challenge to Julie and Patti today was:

"Diptych"

Basically when two photo's can say it better than one.

This is not what I had planned but I really wasn't feeling very well yesterday and I nearly didn't take anything but guilt got the better of me and I spied this in my neighbours garden..........



Not what I had in mind at all :)

June 23rd

The challenge from Patti today was:

"Red and White"

I had 2 ideas,one was the Stop sign at the end of the road because I love the fact that out here they still say stop in English but that didn't work out as I wanted so it was planned b.......


My red and white busy lizzies hanging on my fence.........I had trouble getting a semi decent photo do to them being in a mainly shady but slightly sunny spot.......which was giving me over exposed parts.
OH well !

June 22nd

The odds where against me yesterday,I knew with the itinerary of the day I was going to pushed but I took my camera everywhere with me just in case !

Julie's challenge was:

"Back lit/silhouette"

One she rescheduled due to poor weather conditions last week.I pretty much knew a evening silhouette would be out the question(check out Patti's here)knowing where the sunsets and the fact I was eating my way overdue dinner due to swim lessons and soccer practice last night!So my brief slot was in the afternoon when the sun peeks out from behind the trees in my backyard......


Anyway the point of back lighting is too capture more detail,I was aiming for the veins of the leaves,which you can't see as clear here(even when clicked bigger) as I can on my screen.....I'm not completely happy with this but I do like the shadows created by the other leaves.

June 21st

Playing catch up from the weekend,just loaded Saturdays and now to Sundays !

My turn again and in honour of father's day I gave the subject:

"Male"

Straight forward or outside the box,didn't matter !
I had semi willing volunteers......although finding one shot where they all look OK seemed to be my main problem.Ad has the problem of always having his eyes shut,when it's one on one I have a solution but it's not so great in a group shot.



Anyway this one was my favourite and I'm glad they were some what co-ordinated because I don't think I could have pushed it to make them change !!
