One Word Photo Challenge: Cloudy
I have participated in photo challenges in the past, but this is the first time I have contributed to Jennifer Nichole Wells‘ photo challenge. Participants are asked to post a photo or photos responding to a one word theme – currently the topic is weather, and this week the word is ‘cloudy’. Interpretation of the ‘word’ is open – it can be literal, abstract, touchy feeley … you get it.
As this is the first time I am participating I am playing it safe and going for literal – unusual for me! I guess how you respond to things depends on how you are feeling at the time (touchy feeley).
So… it is Winter here in Australia. I live on a 10 acre property in a semi rural regional part of Central Victoria, and this part of Aus is particularly cold, and in the past week we have a cold snap.
The picture I am sharing is the view from my front yard… I am lucky enough to face the sunset horizon – which is fantastic in Summer, but can be just as amazing in Winter.
This picture shows the rolling in of some storm clouds …. enjoy!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Growth
This is my second week participating in the WordPress weekly photo challenge… and the photo I am posting was taken about a year ago on my rural property in Dunnstown, Victoria, Australia.
It is of a small, new, delicate toadstool sprouting from some horse manure on an early fresh winters morning – for me this encapsulates ‘growth’.
I like this photo because of the layers of landscape, and the detail of the water beads on the new green grass… again all about growth, newness and feshness.
Hope you enjoy it too 🙂
