PhotoHunt theme for the week beginning 9th March 2013 is ‘Monochrome’

We tend to associate monochrome as being shades of grey but monochrome definition says:

noun
1.a painting or drawing in different shades of a single color.
2.the art or technique of producing such a painting or drawing.
3.the state or condition of being painted, decorated, etc., in shades of a single color.
adjective
4.being or made in the shades of a single color: a blue monochrome seascape.
5.having the images reproduced in tones of gray: monochrome television.
 
So this week I have a selection of monochrome pictures that only nature can produce.

BudVibrant green monochrome

PhotoHunt theme for the week beginning 4th August 2012 is ‘Oooooo’

PhotoHunt theme for the week beginning 4th August 2012 is ‘Oooooo’

This theme was hard for me to decide on the photo because I have so many photos I have taken over the years that made me go Oooooo. So in the end I culled it down to 5

Bee
I love how I captured this bee and flower so perfectly.

Sunrise
I do live in a great location. I have so many sunrise pictures that have made me go Oooooo over the years.

Hindmarsh Island bridge
Who would have imagined ever that the mighty Murray river in Australia (longest river here ) would be so depleted of water due to drought and over-allocation upstream that the bridge joining the mainland to the island that I live on would be exposed to it’s pylons right out to what would normally be the middle of the river. When I saw this 3rd support column from the bank sitting in sand I was horrified and went Oooooo

Bud opening
Isn’t nature just so wonderful!

Sunrise
Oooooo never a same sunrise ever!
