Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers Take 4

I'm actually trying to decide between these two images. I'm thinking that the second might be a little too arty - you know, up close, too much of an angle... Anyway, these would come under 'Community'.

Another picture I'm considering for the contest. I have to narrow it down to 3 photos, and the three themes are Colour, Community, and Character. This would come under Colour.

I have entered this for Skywatch Friday - visit th Skywatch Friday blog to see other contributions.

This is another photo I'm considering entering into the competition. I'm not sure if I should, as some may consider this a mistake, but I enjoy playing with the light, shooting into, or nearly into, the light. Not all the time, obviously, but sometimes it's fun.

Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers

The Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers is coming up, and they have a photography competition - the Shutterbug competition. I will be entering as many photos as I can, and am currently cosidering this for one of my entries. I will post other possible entries over the month.

Not mine!

I didn't take this photo, neither is it from my camera. My youngest got a camera for her birthday from her grandparents, and this is one that she took. I saw it as I was uploading her photos, and liked it, so here it is. If anyone is interested, it is one of those Disney lable cameras - VGA camera only.

Merry, Merry King of the Bush is He!

You can only get so close, and only zoom so far on a camera like mine. Still, you can get something reasonable, while not brilliant, with persistance.

Typical Aussie Bowler

I think I blogged about this elsewhere some months ago, but I thought about it tonight, and just wanted to share it with the world (or the one or two of you who happend to fall onto this site ;) ) This is my brother, a proud, and rather typical Aussie. He has just bowled to one of my children (who received a cricket set for Christmas) and did so while holding his stubby. He's wearing thongs - how Aussie is that! You'll have to excuse his white skin - he lives in Melbourne, not exactly the sunshine capital of the country, and has to dress reasonably nicely for his job.
