Peace

Everyone finds a feeling of peace differently.  For me it's photography, being alone and considering the image, wondering how I can get a different effect, a shadow, a bright patch, translucency, mystery, sadness, loneliness, joy, freedom etc.  I don't get much time to just wander with a camera these days but here are some images from a week ago when I could do just that.

When one finds that peace, that comfort, one can analyse each thought rationally and carefully.  It reminds me of one of my favourite Dusty Springfield songs, although a lot of other people covered it too, 'Windmills of Your Mind'.

Some Photographs

Four to be precise.  I was sick on the weekend and didn't get to work early enough to work on machines.  I was rather annoyed actually as I had a new overlocker to work on.  With any luck I will get to that on Wednesday.  I'm rather busy with studies at the moment which doesn't help!  Anyhow, below are four photos, two I took a couple of months back and two I took last night, if you look very closely you can see the moon peeking out from behind the branches in number four.

Flowers

A few weeks ago I went out with my friend B.  I took many photos.  I have attached quite a few here, as an Easter theme.

This garden was fabulous, lots of lovely roses with littler plants in between, like the daisies above.  The roses were amazing, hundreds of blooms in an assortment of colours and shapes.  Sadly my camera is on its way out and doesn't like focusing all that much, often in an attempt to get my camera to focus I'd move it and not notice.  I ended up with some interesting photos because of it!

I don't think I have ever seen so many gum trees so tall.  They were incredible and appeared to stretch never-ending to the sky.  Up in their canopy many parrots and other birds fossicked, showering the unwary in pieces of tree.  I took quite a few pictures of these trees but this is the only one I can find at the moment.

Wherever you are, have a happy and safe Easter!
