May 23 - BLACK + WHITE

I wanted to see what a rainbow looked like in black and white. I suppose now I know.

May 8 - BLUE

This is my boy sitting on top of my car after his swimming lesson. There were so many blue things we could have taken photos of, but in the end it was the dazzling blue sky that I used.

Updated the blog

I've updated the look of my blog - do you like it?
The busy-ness of how it looks has been annoying me, pretty much since I started blogging on it, and today when I was graced with an extra two hours to the day, I decided to fix it.
I can't credit anyone for its design - it's all me. Except for the cute little ninja that I found on Google Images, but he was a free clipart anyway.
Well... back to the midgets now...

May 7 - TAKEN FROM ABOVE

This is my manly man having a snooze.
Sometimes when its cold, you have to wear your sisters old sleeping bag to bed to prevent your feet from turning blue and falling off.

April 29 - CONTRAST

Contrast between healthy fruit and junk ice cream?
Contrast between plastic container and metal spoon?
Contrast between red and white?
Take your pick.

April 24 - A POP OF COLOUR

I've fallen victim to the loom band trap. I hummed and haa-ed about whether I'd get a loom, and then decided I would. The above bracelet is a fishtail and the bottom one is a basic basic loom band thing. I made The Man help me by sorting out all the colours. He doesn't seem to enjoy loom bands as much as I do?

April 22 - FOUR THINGS 

Went out for dinner tonight and these four things were given to Honey to draw with while she waited for her dinner to come. I didn't even break the crayon to make the 4. Lucky!

April 20 - EGG

This is the only speckled egg left over from the Easter Bunny, and even then I had to rescue it from the clutches of The Man.

April 9 - DARK

It's very dark at my work when all the lights have been switched off.

April 2 - IN MY HAND

I made Scottish tablet last week (recipe can be found here). I found some leftover in the kitchen and gobbled it down.

Flipped - OFF MY FOOT

Yes, I have weird looking toes.
I cleaned some green polish off of my toes. Really the flipped prompt should literally be 'OUT YOUR FOOT', but that sounds a bit gory.

February 28 - REFLECTION

Today was Red Balloon Day in Victoria (or Australia - not sure), a day to remember and pay tribute to the emergency services who volunteer their time to protect their communities during fire season.
I spent all day trying to think of a 'reflection' photo for the prompt, and finally just before it went dark I drove around Bendigo looking for a red balloon that had survived the day to take a picture of.
This was not my first balloon. I found one in town and took it home when I pulled into the driveway saw that it had duct tape on it, so tried to peel it off gently and it popped. So then I went out again and found this balloon tied to the fence at BUPA in Holdsworth Road.
Less a photographic technique, I used an app on my iPad to make the red really vivid.

Feb 20 - PEACE

Buddy is a busy busy little man, and after a tonne of activities, the first time he settled down for a rest (and to give me some peace and quiet) was bedtime when he passed out as you can see above.

When I posted this on the FMS FB page, I was complimented on my excellent colour matching (see all the greens that tie the picture together?). It was totally my intention and had nothing to do with me having everything in metrosexual colours for any future ninjas of either gender...

Feb 3 - SOMETHING ORANGE

This photo was so tricky to do as everything that I found that was orange wouldn't photograph properly until Honey's bedtime when we were reading Peppa Pig. I may have emphasised the orange a bit, but I think it looks good.

Jan 21 - BLUE
Blueberries edited to look even bluer. A delicious prop that didn't last very long at all.
