a beginning, an end and a ...re-location...

My heart obviously wasn't in my 2nd attempt at project 365. I have re-located all the works to this post. I enjoyed it, mostly, and actually really love some of the works, and I'm extremely modest about my photos. Looking back, I see some real gems and loving what Flickr does for the overall quality of my images. So enjoy, and I will be attempting more mini-projects and keeping the posts here more regular.
(and just for Nikki..and others interested in what a little point-and-click camera can do...photos taken on my new cam, the baby Olympus, have a * underneath)

So I present
39 to 66
which hadn't quite made it to the blog anyway...



* I'm quite happy with this lighting, and the gorgeous Autumn colours..











*



* ...Ballarat was awash with beautiful Autnum colours...our street looked like it was on fire with bright red trees lining the entire length ...flame trees will blind the weary driver...







*



*



* I'm enjoying mucking around with photoshop more...



*



*



* my baby olympus has a great macro lense...



There will be more on this wedding and another that I did..



*



*







* train ride home.. actual picture vs in my head...

*



*



*...again actual vs inner

.......................................................................................

You will notice that I have only continued the alphabet theme with #19 and #20. A very close friend lost her brother the start of this week, and my mind just wasn't in it, it was enough just to take a photo.


27/365

I really like the colours in the tree against the sky.

26/365

My new macro lens, just on the happy-snap cam, but pretty good.

Coming home from the funeral... sun setting, a little blurry, a little distorted...like my mind on the drive home.

15/365

J is for journey (mobile ph pic) and for some reason, this area and these pictures seemed to fit that word, possibly something to do with moving to Ballarat being a 'journey' and I'm discovering new things and places along the way - like this pine forest 2 mins from my house...

I is for illuminate...


13/365

H is for hue... bit of pop art, a kinda Andy Warhol/Marilyn Monroe thing..

Presenting Alphabet Month

As March begins, so does my first themed idea. Fairly self explanatory.
Here is A to G...

12/365

G is for grass - just a simple, elegant shot. Although I'm loving the colours, the tones of grass against the grey sky.


11/365

F is for Fonts - I am totally obsessed with collecting fonts and this presented an opportunity to use a lot of my faves.


10/365

E is for the elements, and the best/favourite/most needed on this day is water.


9/365

D is for dream, distant etc.. I've been making little lists of words for each letter, and here I've just added my list, thought it was intriguing/interesting enough.


8/365

... a little photo doco..









C is for candid. I set the camera on a timer and placed it randomly around the house one morning.


7/365

B is for bizarre orange fruit growing all over the side of my shed.. I'm pretty sure its banana passionfruit..??.. Like I said - Bizarre.


6/365

A is for adore/addiction.. the line can get blurry and is often crossed.

.......................................................................................
Project 365 #2 is here...


Things are going to be a little different, with the scope being widened to allow more than just photos - I guess its more than a photo-a-day project this time around.


5/365

Day trip to Geelong.

4/365

Jon had knicked the camera and I was feeling a little buddha-ish(..mm..).

3/365

A camera toss - this is always fun, scary, but fun, a good strap is always helpful. I will be exploring this more after seeing the awesome ones on flickr,
