Sunday Selections #55

Hello my lovelies, number 55 has a nice ring to it don’t you think? I am at work in the Off Centre again today so I don’t know if I will have time to visit you today or not. Anyhow without any further babble from me here is…

The Blurb

I take a lot of photos and most of them are just sitting around in folders on my desktop not doing anything. I thought that a dedicated post once a week would be a good way to share some of these photos that otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone other than me.

I am also remarkably absent minded and I put photos into folders and think that I will publish them later on and then then I never do.

So I have started a photo meme that anyone can join in and play as well. The rules are so simple as to be virtually non existent.

Just add your name and URL to the Mr Linky.

Publish your photos on your blog using the “Sunday Selections” title.

Link back here to me.

    After the first 3 blurred images (are #2 & #3 in a church? Or, somewhere with stained glass, at least?) the detail of #4 was quite a shock.

    That sky is amazing.

    How is the exhibition going? Have been meaning to ask, but school holidays are killing my online life right now.

      #2 and #3 are photos of my washing on the line on the verandah. The exhibition is going well and preparations for my next big show in March are coming along nicely as well. I am flat stick actually :0

    Oooo, love the macro of the furry insect. Strange, but we don’t think of insects as being furry creatures. Even though lots of them are quite the hairy monsters. And that sky is stunning.

      Hi Carolina, Blogger’s word verification is playing up and I can’t comment on your blog. Just wanted to let you know I’m enjoying seeing your woodpecker photos. I love the 6th one where he’s in mid flight.

      • carolina January 29, 2012, 9:20 pm

        Thanks 🙂 Sometimes I think Bugger would have been more appropriate than Blogger 😉

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:37 pm

      It was a very lucky shot. I quickly snapped three or four images and when I saw them on the computer I was quite pleased.

  • Megan January 29, 2012, 7:19 am

    Love Love Love the last one!

    • Sam @ Learn. Create. Do. January 29, 2012, 10:22 am

      Hi Megan, Blogger’s word verification is playing up and I can’t comment on your blog. Your first pic is fab. Love the water fountains in the second pic too.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:36 pm

      Grins, thanks Megan

  • Watershedd January 29, 2012, 7:51 am

    Insect shot is great. Looks almost sweet and cuddly!

  • Sam @ Learn. Create. Do. January 29, 2012, 9:35 am

    Love the tiger-lily… it’s an interesting shot. I have a thing for orange at the moment (I wonder what that means?).
    Great macro shot of the moth too.

  • Elephant's Child January 29, 2012, 9:58 am

    Love the tiger lily – which I am also featuring this week. The insect is amazing and that sky… Wow.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:35 pm

      I am pleased you like them I mixed in some traditional shots with some images that I really liked. The tiger lily being my favourite

  • Amanda January 29, 2012, 10:52 am

    Love LOVE the macro and the pink/purple sky.

  • Toushka Lee January 29, 2012, 12:51 pm

    I love the colours in the last one.
    somehow I managed to link my link to last weeks one when I tried to link it to this week. So it’s now linked twice. oops.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:29 pm

      oh well The more the merrier, I liked your motorbike photo I haven’t commented yet though.

  • Toni January 29, 2012, 12:53 pm

    I LOVE the colours in the blurred shots, Kim!!

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:28 pm

      Thanks Toni I really like the colours as well. It is actually my clothes on the washing line on the verandah 🙂

  • river January 29, 2012, 2:41 pm

    Going by other’s comments I take it that first shot is meant to be a tiger lily?
    To me it looks like a blurred shot of someone’s cleavage.
    I love the moth on the parsley flowers and the sunset sky is the best ever.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:26 pm

      If you hover your mouse over my photos River the title will pop up underneath the mouse. That is how come everyone knows it is a tiger lily. I think I will have to take more photos of parsley flowers, I hadn’t really looked at them properly before the Moth landed on them

  • Jay from The Depp Effect January 30, 2012, 3:10 am

    Wow. Well, I love the moth, naturally, but that last shot of the trees silhouetted against the red background is just stunning! Well done!!

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:24 pm

      It was a glorious sunset that night Jay. The reds just kept on getting redder.

  • Linda January 30, 2012, 4:03 am

    That sunset is AMAZING! I like the moth too, your macro is getting better and better.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:23 pm

      Thanks. I am getting more comfortable with the macro lens. Using the macro makes me think about the image differently and that part of my brain was a bit dusty.

  • Jientje January 30, 2012, 8:18 am

    The last two are stunning!

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:18 pm

      Thankyou Jientje. I have been having trouble taking cloud photos with the DSLR and so I have been ignoring the sunsets a bit lately. I am happy with that shot. And as for the Moth I am only just starting to have a decent play with my macro lens and I was very happy with that photo as well.

  • Marita January 30, 2012, 2:43 pm

    My god that sunset is beautiful. I wish I could capture sunsets like that.

    • frogpondsrock January 30, 2012, 3:15 pm

      I just zoomed onto the tree Marita. Then when I was editing the image in photoshop I upped the black a tiny bit to make the tree a little bit blacker, that is why there is so much noise in this shot 🙂

      • Marita January 30, 2012, 3:28 pm

        Fascinating, I need to work out how to play around with the pictures some more 🙂
