Floral Friday Challenge.

~~~~~

This morning we had another ‘pea soup’ fog in Geelong…

web_0867which, for a few hours converted some of our garden

into some delicate works of art.

web_0853While not quite ‘floral’ I think it is as pretty as

any flower in the garden and unlike flowers,

conditions need to be ‘just so’ to capture it.

Thinking of a rusty post I remembered this photo of…

A rusty roof in the middle of a city, and…

another rusty roof in rural Victoria.  Not an unusual sight.

soldiers_0114These three may have been clean steel at one time,

however, they have taken on a rusty hue now.

My

Look Up, Look Down

for Week 54

~~~~~

Earlier in August, I travelled to Queenscliff, to catch the ferry.

Queenscliff_0003While waiting I noted that the wind sock, though battered,

was indicating that the crossing would be fairly calm.

I lined up with other cars and vehicles…

Queenscliff_0010Glancing down and all I saw was churning water as the ferry

was propelled smoothly across Port Philip Bay.

Odd Ball

Week 26

~~~~~

I think this suits the Odd Ball Challenge

Totally odd that we should even need to worry

about this little bloke growing into an old tusker…

elephants_0059

however in all likelihood he will die at the hands of a poacher and not old age.

Have a read of this article, titled

A World without Elephants

on the Africa Geographic site

No idea why my images are not being displayed regularly
