~ Pick up your Rubbish! ~

Some fun for Cee’s Black and White Challenge this week, it’s all about signs. I thought these were very eye catching. Most people here are very good about picking up rubbish, but a reminder is necessary at times.

I always like leaving a touch of colour to bring them alive.

All these were taken walking along the esplanade at Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia

The Faces of My Treasures

Two for one with these challenges! Cee has challenged us for black and white heads and facial features and Aletta has asked for our treasures for the Lens-Artist challenge.

It was hard to choose one topic for treasure as I have so many, but my two fur boys, Rufus and Zac, are my daily treasures. I treasure my time in the morning with them, drinking my coffee and doing Wordle, while they sit patiently on the couches waiting for their treats. They are very photogenic, but then again I am biased.

You’re my one and only
Just a couch potato

Sitting Peacefully

This week’s Black and White challenge from Cee is all about peacefulness and what it means to you.

Stumped on Friday 🎋

I’m having a ball with trees for Becky’s July Squares and also Cee’s Trees or Tree parts. So I’ve gone out on a limb with these ones.

Does anyone know what the above tree is, it’s got me stumped

Trees for July Squares hosted by Becky at The Life of B and also for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Water in Nature.

Not the prettiest but a life well lived! They still have their uses as perches for birds. Taken this morning on my walk around Lake Claremont, Perth, WA.

Faces in Objects

This week Cee has asked for faces in things for CWBC. I’ve found a few that I’ve edited with a bit of colour splash! My favourite thing to do.

I do miss my days out in London

Sitting Pretty

A few for Cee’s CBWC and Xingfumama’s Pull up a Seat.

With a touch of green!

Five photos for Cee’s CBWC

This challenge kept me very busy for a few hours! Lots of fun editing and colouring in.

Cee says photos can be black and white, desaturated, sepia (brown tones) or selective colour.
