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.

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!

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.

Theme Thursday - Spring.

This is a picture of a lemon blossom from my lemon tree.

Macroday - Round.

This is my photo for the Macroday challenge of round.

It is a photo of a light fitting above the stairs in Southbank Plaza, Southbank, Melbourne (Australia).

Loved the look of it so I had to take a shot!

Lens Day Challenge - Toys.

This is my Girl Molly's fav toy.
Every time I go out the back door she races over and drops it on my feet!
I think she wants to play!

Macroday - Keys.

I Love taking macro shots but usually I am taking shots of flowers and bugs.
This is a bit different for me so thanks for the challlenge MacroDay!

Thursday Challenge - Experimental.

I was playing around with the camera - experimenting - trying to get a decent shot of this carousel as it moved.
I was not successful but I did get a decent shot when it stopped!!

Photo Friday - The Good life!

This is my photo for the Photo Friday theme of "The good life."
These two couples sure look like they are living the good life.
Not so much the fellows driving, it was a 39 degree day this day!!

Lens Day Challenge - Metallic.

This Photo was taken along Southbank in Melbourne.
It is one of the many Art Sculptures there are in this area of the city.
I think its supposed to be a big metal rose.
