~ Wordless Wednesday ~

One for Wednesday (not exactly wordless!) and also for Cee’s CMMC (Close up or Macro).

I spotted this handsome boy/girl on my walk today. Kookaburras don’t mind how close you get and will happily pose for a shot.

Cee has challenged us to find a topic from a photo she has posted. I’m currently in the UK visiting my parents and peering out of the window the other day, I looked straight into these eyes. It was a cold and frosty morning and this bold little thing was obviously looking for food.

Ships, Boats and Stormy Skies – August CMMC

This week for Cee’s Mid Week Madness Challenge she has give us many choices from her photo. I’ve gone with a nautical theme.

“The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.” – – George R. R. Martin, ‘A Clash of Kings,’

“Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly.”

— Van Morrison, Irish Singer-Songwriter

I used the Ribbet App to frame them in white, giving them more definition.

Quays around the World

Cee’s Mid Week Madness challenge this week is anything featuring the letters Q and U. Quay seemed a good word to play with.

Looking forward to the day when I can travel the world again and visit beautiful places like these! Hopefully in the early part of next year. It’s been too long.

A Winter’s Day in Perth

On a Thursday I play Mahjong with the ladies from my games group. We play in a beautiful restaurant in City Beach overlooking the ocean. We meet for breakfast first and then get down to playing. I’m only just learning so I come away with a frazzled brain!

I thought this photo was perfect for Cee’s Choose a Topic from my Photo, which I took just this morning.

The blue of the ocean, waves, rocks, people, and coastline – nearly covered it!

A Barnacle or three on a House Boat

Something for Cee’s Midweek Madness, starting or ending with E.

I came across this house boat this morning while out for my exercise. Sitting in the river with a barnacle or three attached. Sadly unredeemable, but once someone’s home. The sky was smoke filled due to a recent bush fire.
