Thursday Challenge - Delicate.

This was taken at the Melbourne Zoo Using Nikon DSLR and Macro Lens.
Love the way it turned out, especially the colour.
It looks to me to be very delicate.

Lensday Challenge - "City Life"

Life of a city pigeon.
This is a pigeon loft in the City of Melbourne.
Built to try to attract the pigeons away from breeding on the windowsills of the buildings and to control thier numbers.

Macroday - Small.

These guys are pretty small!

Theme Thursday - "Building"

This was taken a little while ago but fits the theme.
There used to be another building located in this spot but it was pulled down and now building is about to start on a new one.

Photo Friday - Extreme Closeup.

This is a close up of a lemon still hanging on the tree, still a bit green!
Using the Supermacro function of the Olympus Camera.

Mood Monday - Small.

The theme was Small.
I missed the time frame but I'm uploading anyway!
These are pretty small! Aphids on the rose bush!.

See It Sunday - Fresh.

I took this one out in my backyard. I think it fits the theme because it is still fresh and my dogs haven't trampled it yet!.

Thursday Challenge - Festival.

This one was taken in the city recently. It was not actually a festival but I think it has a festival feel.

Tuesday Challenge - Gold.

I took this one the same time I took the one for Macroday as the Macroday challenge is Gold too.

I'm posting 2 pics because I liked them both.

Macroday - Gold

I had some fun with this challenge trying to find something different to photograph.

These are some gold and silver brads on gold card.

See It Sunday - Animal.

Photo taken at Melbourne Zoo.

PhotoFriday - Minimalism.

This is a young boy jumping up trying to pop this large bubble!
Such fun!

Tuesday Challenge - Brick.

These bricks are the tiles (some kind of sandstone) layed outside Federation Square in Melbourne, Australia.
They are stunning to look at, each on a work of art.

PhotoSharks Challenge - Jump.

This photo was taken at the football.

Aussie rules, Essendon plays North Melbourne at Telstra Dome.

Great fun game with lots of atmosphere at the game.

Jumping to gain control of the ball.

This photo was taken at a dolphin show at SeaWorld in Queensland, Australia.

The dolphin jumps out of the water with the girl on his nose and throws her into the air in front of him.

Thursday Challenge - Pink

This is the blossom of the eucalyptus tree.
They come in many different colours, red, pink, yellow, orange, white.
They attract the bees like crazy in the summer.

Macroday - Cap.

This is a macro photo of filter cap on the "AirCap" we use when dealing with the dusty environment of the pigeon lofts.

Great invention.

You put the cap on which is just a baseball type cap.

It has a face shield and a filter and fan mounted on the top of the cap.

The fan blows filtered air down across your face and out the sides of the faceshield creating a positive pressure under the facemask that prevents non filtered air from entering.

Tuesday Challenge - Graffiti.

I actually found it hard to find some graffiti in my neighborhood. I guess thats a good sign!

I went for a drive around and found this one and also another that was in a language I don't know so I didn't post it up, Who knows what it might say!

This ones pretty good though, Very neat and tidy.

It would be interesting to know the meaning of it!

LensDay Challenge - Green.

I took this photo when I discovered this little visitor on my lemon tree.

I love taking shots like these and love the super macro feature on the Olympus camera.

Thursday Challenge - Shapes.

This photo was taken on board a submarine at the Maritime Museum in Sydney.
I loved how all the valve handles lined up looked like a little garden.
Great shapes!
