One Day - One Photo 30/08/15

I had forgotten about this, but reading it again I have now set myself a minor challenge. 

I was never up for the 365 challenge, but I have not been anywhere near as active over the past months because of some issues. Now, what I am going to do, after seeing this thread again, is to put a picture on here every day for the next week,  regardless of what day it is.

Don't expect anything highly technical, and all pictures will most likely be taken on our property - it might just be a flower, a lizard, a dog or whatever, and I'll probably be taking at least a dozen photos a day to get the right one. Simply looking to have some fun, with my camera again.

So here is the one for today - a very cheeky Blue Wren sitting in our massive Banksia Rose climber, outside the lounge window:

WOW! That's colouful indeed!  A lot more photogenic than it's UK cousins, ours are just shades of brown but with a beautiful song that can't be photographed.....

[Kobione]

Thank you WereBo - ours sing beautifully too!

This was the best I could to for my Tuesday one - one of our 'regulars' has appeared again in the garden. How can I tell he's one of the 'regulars' - not at all phased by me or the girls being close!!:

Here's the Wednesday one - one of a heap of harlequin bugs that were all over a native Hop Bush, and they blended in so well!!:

And the Thursday one - a bit of a garden triumph in our shade house:

Good challenge for oneself this Dee  

I love the wren.... He looks like his powder blue head has been made from wool like a pom-pom ! 

[Kobione]

Thanks Polly - it is making me wander round the block with my camera, and having a bit of fun.

I was hopeful of something for 'In the Streets' yesterday, but no - maybe today!!

Friday's picture - a rather pensive Brodie - best I could come up with today:

    That expression from Brodie  is definitely saying ,

" Oh Really I'm giving you my most AWESOME pensive look and that's all you can say !!"

Two from Saturday - purely just for fun.

The first one - yes, bring it down!!!!:

And the second one shortly after - what's this??? Haven't seen this for years!!:

Rain and hail gone now - shame. You can see by the colour of our grass how badly we need it.

[WereBo]

WOW! That does look a bit wet, perhaps a good market for reinforced umbrollies there....

Don't think so WereBo - we are in sever drought, and a 'real downpour' would have been very welcome. - We do have another chance later in the week - fingers crossed!!

Sunday - and that means I've done it - one picture a day for 7 days.

A lovely Bronzewing Pigeon standing on a rock saying "I can see for miles from here", and showing off his colours very well:

That's it - I'm out of here, but at least I have picked up the camera and looked for a picture every day for the last week. If I stay in that mode I'll be more active than recently - I'll do my best!!

Some interesting looking photo's there. It's good to set challenges like that. Last year the BBC Springwatch TV programme did a 100 days of Nature challenge where they invited people to go out a take 1 picture of nature for a 100 days...

What fabulous colours on that Pigeon Dee....makes ours look very drab indeed !

A Pic every day for a week .... hope it becomes a habit...Its been nice to see more of you ...  

[Kobione]

Thanks RW & Polly - there is a 'local event' on today, so I might get some from there.

[WereBo]

That's a beautiful portrait of a beautiful bird Kobione, far nicer than the manky-looking feral winged vermin here

[Kobione]

Thanks WereBo - these are a native species and not classed as 'sky rats'.
