Theme Thursday - "Body"

This is a close up of my eye, doctored somewhat in photoshop. Added colour to iris (always wanted brilliant blue eyes!) and used the coloured pencil filter and light filter on my skin. I had alot of fun doing this and have wanted to take an eye close up for ages.

Thursday Challenge - RED

This is a photo of a red flower on a succulent plant in my back yard. Don't know what its .called

Photo Friday - "The dead of night."

This photo was taken outside Crown Casino in Melbourne. Along the Yarra riverside.

They have these great big columns that shoot up spurts of fire in a sequence.

I set the camera on the edge on a big concrete planter right at the rivers edge.

At first there was a couple of little puffs and then a huge burst of flame spewed out of the column nearest me ad scared the crap out of me!! I nearly fell backwards into the Yarra River!!

photo Friday - Best for 2006

This is one of my favourite photos for 2006. I say one of because I took alot of photos with family and friend in them that I love alot more. This is my favourite artistic photo. It was a chance shot taken by the side of the road. I pulled tthe car over to take pictures of the sunset and as I was getting back into the car, I saw the moon behind us. I took this quick shot and I just love the drama of it.

In the Spirit of Christmas!
