A wonderful day walking round Freo....

Back to the high life again.... bye Mandy

On our way - I walk the line

Great day, but time keeps on ticking along


The day is rushing on and we go step by step 


Silence, I can hear a bell ringing


Stop we are on a one way street


Round and round, here we come and here we go

Don't worry just look on the bright side of life


I don't care I am beautiful no matter what they say

Wow it's mellow yellow

3,000+ Joy to the world
                                           

Oh what a wonderful world

Nita's Sing-a-Long in Freo

Here are the photos I took from our photo walk that represent the song lyrics/titles for me.....

Wouldn't want to walk this line....but, "I walk the line"

Just a bit full, "and I think to myself, what a wonderful world" if I could eat pizza every day!

"I am beautiful no matter what they say"

Weather worn and repurposed as "time keeps on ticking, ticking"

"Step by step, day by day, mile by mile"

"Back in the high life again" with time to laze in the sun

"One way street" - at least for a little while!

"Joy to the World" - if you knew me well you would understand :O)

"Here we come, here we go, we gotta rock" - Cold Rock that is.

Had a lot of fun exploring Fremantle like a tourist.  Which city should we "photo walk" next as we get to know our neighbourhoods a bit better?

Project 52 - Week 12 - Naturally Black


I believe this is a chough - whatever it was a live, black animal that stood still long enough for me to get a shot

Project 52 - Week 12 - Naturally Black - Mar 20 to 26

So I am now MANY weeks behind posting the pictures I have taken and am trying to remember what week each theme goes with. So I have gone back and added the week to the title of each post.

This past week was about things that are naturally black. My only photos so far have been work related, so will try to find some time today to get out there with the camera.

Project 52 - Week 11 - Through the Doorway - Mar 13 to 19

The challenge this past week was to "use doorways to help frame your picture. Typically what you want to focus on is on the other side of the doorway. If there is a door, it doesn't matter if it's full open or partially closed. Just make sure that what you are focusing on is on the other side of the doorway."

This one sounds fun. Now to find the energy to get out with my camera. Week 12 coming in a few days!

Project 52 - Week 10 - Still Life Beverages - Mar 6 to 12

So still quite behind in taking and posting photos. Week 10's theme is still life beverages. I like drinking things, but photos of what I am drinking seem so boring. What will everyone come up with if you try this one???
