This raven has been hanging around my yard for over a year. The lack of black feathers on the back of its head gives it a strange profile and enables easy identification: a rare thing with ravens. I believe it is nesting - its Spring here in Australia - and I hope to get some photos of the offspring. 

"Rustic garlic"

I had a bumper crop of garlic last summer including this powerful purple variety.

Wow, I wish I had such a Bulgarian friend. 

Missed the cut off by 2 minutes. I got distracted from uploading my entry by BIll's amazing portrait.

Lots of great images here: I’m struggling to decide which one to vote for.

Work and family commitments imposed on my photography this week (how dare they?) so it’s an iPhone photo. Took this at the carnival in our town this week as part of White Night. 

Congratulations Korky. And thank you Clicker for closing the voting.

Thank you for appreciating my intention in taking the photo, Korky.

I’m glad I joined the 52 wk challenge because it forces, I should say  “encourages” me to engage in some photography every week. This is enriching of my life and good for my photography skills.  John is 80 & still farming. His wife died recently and he’s still driving his ute to feed his cattle. Stoic.

Well done John. Skilled work. You’ve become a Guest?

Now that’s an unusual image. Great title. A jigsaw puzzle?

Old quarry, Mt Hope.

Mt Hope is the closest "mountain" to us. Its granite and was quarried back in the day by the Mawson family. Fortunately the enterprise  was stopped mid 20th century before there was no mountain left. 

The topic for this week’s challenge is Found Objects.

In my mind this is a sub -category of still life where the subject/s have been found or discovered but it is open to your unique interpretation.

New Images or one from your archives to be posted before Friday 24 August (UK time).

Wow, thank you everyone for your votes! 

Some sort of two on one communication going on here. 

The flower seller at Flinders St Station in Melbourne was selling these flowers. They appeared to be real. No idea.

Once again apologies for the inactivity - 8 appointments for David in the last 14 days, including one today. The Oncology one was as good as it cold possibly be and they have given him a '4 week holiday' from chemo, mainly to assist with healing some nasty wounds on his foot, so this is what this week has been like:

Brodie did not want to go out there on Monday with that sky, but we did get a full 20 ml of rain eventually!

Then today's result - think we're stuck at home for a while again:

 

A challenging time for you and David, Dierdre.

Oh My Giddy Good God !

I might be slightly in love with the South of France 

Beautiful place: I’m in love with it and I’ve never been there.

Agreed about the octopus shot.  I did a double take when I saw them.
