Photo Challenge – Last Day

I got a bit caught up today and didn’t get over to see Ruby for a cuppa, so that will have to wait until tomorrow!

Tonight I uploaded the last album for the photo – challenge I have been running on facebook these past ten days – so I thought I would share with you the entries I put in.

Day one was “ORANGE” This whole album looks great when you glance at all the photos and varying shades of orange together!

I found a bright orange fungi down at Dip Falls

Day two was “HOMESCAPE” My made up name for landscape around your home  – house or town or area!  This was a really surprisingly great album – we have a number of members scattered literally all over the world and it was so fabulous to see where they all called home!

My photo was a rare early morning for me in the fog in our yard!

Day three was “SQUARES” I was running out of time and still nothing really grabbed my attention so I grabbed some sugar cubes in the supermarket and set up my tripod with my macro lens.

BTW disappointingly sugar cubes are not even close to being a cube these days!!

Happily group members had no shortage of amazing squares of their own – ranging from chocolate, to shadows and cleverly set up scrabble boards!!

Day four was “OLD FASHIONED” and you already know in depth how I got my shot. Again the variety of interpretations from group members was fabulous – from beautiful old clunky classic typewriters, to heirlooms and LP’s!!

Day five was “BUBBLES” Oh my what a fun album that is!! Although a distressing amount of bubbles from washing the dishes featured!! Some people had suds, some had amazing free-floating bubbles all nicely lined up (jealous) others had bubbles in drinks.

I settled on a single floating bubble for mine!

Day six was “FROM THE GRAVEYARD”

I find graveyards fascinating! There are some really interesting headstones and descriptions. Its like a small history of people to wander through. Group members have come up with some fabulous shots – some spooky night shots, other poignant glimpses into a past life all quite different and wonderful!

I somehow avoided all the powerlines to get this shot in our run down neglected little old graveyard

Day seven was “WINDOWS” Again – totally enjoyed the variety that people put forward.

Mine was more ‘space for a window’

Day eight was “FEAR” which scared quite a few people. Working out how to go about it!! We have everything from bathroom scales to spiders!!! lol

I was clueless until the night I had to post it and came up with acrophobia! (with my ‘boxmen’)

Day 9 was “BICYCLES” So far some really great shots coming in. Rusted tricycles to sleek new machines!!

Jeff is miffed I only used the shadow of his bike – she is called Betty (Or sometimes “The Other Woman” 😀

And lastly tomorrow, day ten, I have asked for “EVERYDAY OBJECT/S IN AN UNUSUAL PLACE”  I am expecting some fun stuff in this one.

Jeff and I spent some quality time at Fossil Bluff taking photos of a portable clothesline! Did we get weird looks?? Oh yes we did!!

Two ladies that read this blog, Lyra and Amanda, have also joined in contributing photos and it was really wonderful to have a couple of new additions to the challenge. They have put in some wonderful images and we are enjoying some sights from a different part of the world!

This is the sixth time I have run one of these. Usually around 30 people join in, give or take a few. Some group members have been in every single one too, which is lovely!

Its all quite relaxed and people seem to have a really good time.

We are voting on each album, and in a few days we shall see who comes out on top this time! oooooo – the suspense! 😀

Actually – the surprising thing is to most people, but the hardest thing about the challenge is choosing where to put your votes!!

Hope you have enjoyed this odd collection of photos!

Enjoy your day!!

Cheers…
